Overclocking is hard

[noxinum]

Is 4300 MHz good for an I5-6600k?
and is GPU clock +200MHz and +500MHz on the memory clock good? also have gpu voltage +50% and power limit +11% on a gigabyte 1060

my memory clock is currently at 8910 MHz and still no artifacts on vally wow ( +900 MHz) and my gpu clock is at 1936 ( +210MHZ if I go beyond the 210 it stutters or I get freezes or black screen ) GPU voltage is at +20% I still don't quite understand this

nice--the memory usually does overclock a lot more than the core even if the core voltage was at 100% its probably like 0.1v extra wont get you much further if at all since around the gtx970 maybe earlier they got pretty tight with how much you could over volt

i am using a modified bios on my gtx970 to get the extra though dont recommend that for every one to try my gpu is watercooled so not worried over it

btw do I need to keep the software running or can I simply close it? and if I ever have a problem ( gpu or cpu dies ) I can get them replaced right? since I think I'm within the OC range

 

[mcnumpty23]

you need the overclock software running as far as i remember and to have a load this overclock at start up option ticked

though i use hardware overclocking seems logical the software would have to be running as its not a permanent alteration to the hardware

 

[mcnumpty23]

and yes cant see much issue if you needed a replacement since you are doing pretty safe overclocking

if it's minimised to the tray it still "open" right? these are such basic questions hahaha sorry

 

[mcnumpty23]

yes thats still open/running

and dont worry if they seem basic questions every one knows different things so whats easy/basic to some people isnt to others

no shame if you dont know something but ask--its only silly when you dont know but wont ask

some people might get impatient with easy/basic questios but i dont we were all noobs once and i dont forget that
