overclocking the Asus GTX 970 Strix

[BBQ_King]

Will the gtx 970 strix reach 1500+Mhz eventhough it only has 1x8pin socket?

Also will the performance boost be huge?

can someone tell me a program to use to overclock? I'm using this gpu tweak that asus provided but it only goes to 1400mhz boost clock

You need to tick a check box to go beyond the restraints to OC more. It's on the tuning tab

1500 MHZ as in memory clock or core clock? Core clock, NO WAY. That would be too high, memory clock yes.

I think you don't have this card. I have this card and it runs fine @ 1535 Mhz without voltage tuning. I don't oc ram but checked up to 400+ offset stable. Checked with Valley, Heaven & Tropics benchmark and AC Unity, Inquisition.
Core: 230+
Memory: 0+
P Limit: 115
T Limit: 80 (never reached 65C+)

I can reach 1575mhz core clock and 7600 mem clock with my strix. Fully stable in game and sythetic tests like firestrike. Still working on stock voltages. (1.210 i believe) don't like pushing memory clock since it is the easiest way to get your card to the grave.

How long you have tested with this settings?

I don't know how other people are getting +1500 core clocks with their Strixs since it only has 1 powerconnector.

I have one myselft, ASIC quality 62%, A RM850 PSU on a ROG mobo and I can't get mine further than 1465 core due to the powerphases. Don't get me wrong, I love this card and it's ultra quiet. But it is not the best ocable card and I can't believe that some folks are getting+1500 core due to the powersupply archictecture on the PCB.
