CPU: i7 6700K (no OC) (liquid cooled)
GPU: Asus 1070 Turbo
RAM: 16 GB DDR4 3000
MOBO: MSI Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon
PSU: 550w 80 Plus Bronze
This is my first attempt at overclocking. I used NZXT CAM to overclocka nd manage fan profiles. I was able to get a max of +220MHz core clock and +350MHz memory clock without any issues running Valley and Heaven; they would crash if my memory clock was over 350MHz.. I had to do some tweaking to get Firestrike and Time Spy to run without crashing. My final overclock was at +210MHz core clock and +300MHz memory clock.
After making a few adjustments to the fan profile, my GPU hovers around 67c at full load without being crazy loud, whereas it was running at 79c at full load without the overclock.
Overall I'm happy with the results but wondering if I could have done better. If you have any tips or pointers please let me know. What is everyone's opinion on CAM? Should I use a different application to overclock? Is this overclock any good? Any idea why I can't overclock my memory clock past 300MHz?
