Overclocking the MSI GTX 1070 8G OC Armor

[eduardocross35]

Hi community. So, I am overclocking my GPU while using Kombustor and Afterburner, and I got a stable +120 Mhz on the Coreclock and a +700 on the Memory Clock. My question is: Should I keep pushing the memory clock? It still hasn't crashed on the Memory Clock test, but is it safe?

Edit: I ran some tests on Valley Benchmark and crashed, had to lower it a little for it to be stable.

Remember, you can individually clock core and memory way higher alone, than they can manage together.

As a rule of thumb, you won't cause permanent damage to a card unless you start increasing its voltages and power supply and even then they have had built in limiters since the 7? series cards I believe.

ideally, you want to find the balance between core and memory where it remains functional, and it doesn't always get exposed in benchmarks. My 970 sat happily on ridiculous results in bench's but then crashed every two hours like clockwork when gaming, which was a lower load.

You are at maximum settings and anything more would be minimal returns for overdone power. I would keep it at 110/700 and be done with it. Don't forget to make aggressive fan cooling curve.
