Question Need gpu experts I think I may fry my gpu

[xxbuddroxx]

I was trying to overclock using the VF curve on my gigabyte windforce rtx 2070. I set it to the max at 2500mhz@1.250v my temps seem fine (using stock gpu air cooling) will I fry my gpu this way ? this seems very strange and I really have no clue what ive just done.

THEN DONT DO IT

Heaven says I’m running at 2700mhz which can’t be right there’s no way I’m +500 on core clock

. . . why?

Why not? My gtx660ti is sitting +220/+820 over factory. Yes, a 660ti, not a 1660ti.

If you don't know what you're doing when it comes to over-clocking--ANYTHING at all--don't over-clock.

A 54% core clock increase seems excessive, particularly because it worries him.

I was originally at +130 core +215 men and stock voltage. I used the VF curve to set my voltage to 1075 and now GPUz says my clock under sensor is 2100 but heaven says 2350

Is that safe for my card ?

Can someone explain to me how this should be done to get the most out of my gpu without trashing the lifespan ?

Don’t listen to Heaven for that number. It is the only app that misreads my GPU’s core clock.

Sounds like a good idea for a new thread.
