Hello guys, I'm a fresh user of Palit's 750 ti stormx dual, i've noticed that afterburner shows that the card exceeds it's power limit. What i mean, it reaches GPU power 125% without oc. Before that i had it oc'd and afterburner shown 115% gpu power. Screens below. Should i be worried?

I don't want to rek my card, what sould I do? Keep things stock or keep it oc'd on +60 core +200 memory?

If you're not getting any errors, glitches or blue screens, then you're probably fine. If you begin to see that behavior, then you're probably a little low on the voltage. If no problem exists, then there's no reason to be concerned so long as thermals are also good.
Yes, just like with a CPU, if you increase the clock rate or memory settings, you'll probably need some amount of increase in voltage, but how much is going to vary from card to card, even if they're the same model. Trial and error, using as small of an increase as possible, then test for stability, is the best way to determine how much is needed. Keep an eye on thermals as well. If you start getting too close to the thermal ceiling, and are still not stable, then you need to back the clock speed down until it's stable again.
 
Well... The thing is that i've been playing GTA or new Tomb Raider without increasing voltage but with increased clocks...It was stable...How about that?
