Overclocked MSI 1070 Armor 8g - Core clock golden?

[Archyas]

Hello,
I overclocked my Gtx 1070 for the first time and these are my results.

+240 core clock (+260 gives artefacts)
+400 memory clock (Planning to up this)

I hear people talking about getting "lucky" with +180 core clocks, while I'm here with +240.

Am I just lucky or is that normal? This is my first time overclocking ever.

This is my build, if it has anything to do with it.

If you have 0 instability issues I would assume it is fine.

Just to be safe though, did you stress test it a few times? Unigen\3dMark\etc.

My EVGA after I added the extra thermal pads they sent me has an incredibly nice overclock as well.

If that is stable after using benchmarks like 3DMark or Unigine Valley/Heaven. Then your GTX 1070 is an amazing overclocker. I could barely get a 100+ Mhz out of my GTX 1070 armor.

What Mhz did you get to if you don't mind me asking? I haven't put any MSI cards through their paces except my 1060.

I could crank my 1070 to 1987-2025 range depending on temps with OC. But i just didnt bother keeping it. The gain was to little to be worth the extra heat.

Yeah. It is nice to have the extra overhead down the road if you are someone who keeps their cards until they are obsolete!
