Overcocking GTX 660

I want to overclock my GTX 660 Windforce from Gigabyte but I have no idea of how much I can increase the core voltage. Can anyboby help me?

This tutorial: http://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-overclock-your-graphics-card/ helped me overclock an old Radeon 6770, you may find some use out of it

Good evening Well its evening here soooo yeah. If incase you didnt get what the link says. Here's an easier break down.

Grab or download an MSI Afterburner (works with anycard as far as it did to me and still does Asus GTX660 - Strix GTX960 2gb - Palit GTX960 4gb)

Next is you prolly will see core clock and memory clock - ez part - just increase it a bit - BIT by BIT - meaning +10 and +10 or +15 or 20 - Do it slowly. Then save profile. If it runs well and doesnt do a crash or bluescreen you're good. If it does try increasing the core voltage JUST A REALLY FEW BIT. - Then try to increase the memory and core. Its an easier overclocking for you and will give you an insight as to how you would oc a procie via bios as well (unlocked versions).

If you have any questions and clarifications just ask more, never be afraid to ask. Then again I will be sleeping now so a different person might give a better advice also. But if it does help, dun forget to "pick as the solution" <3 Ciao ciao

Thanks for your answers guys but I just wanted to know the safe voltage for my card. I already overclocked it until the benchmark crashes.

Oh lucky I'm still awake haha. Well one thing that I can be sure of is that I cannot tell what is the exact safe voltage "for your card". Because with what I can max out with my old video card it was around an extra 18mV if not mistaken and around extra 80-90Mhz of clock and 70Mhz of memory. That is what I maxed before, I could've prolly gone higher but I already got what I wanted.

As to what I wanted, I was playing Crysis 3 at almost an all High and I was able to max it out after overclocking (MAXING EVERY HIGH SETTINGS, NOT ULTRA'ing or UBER'ing it)

Thanks for helping! I thing I wont overclock any further, I got +90Mhz core clock and +30Mhz memory clock without touching at the core voltage. It's sill some free extra performance
