[SOLVED] Power Limit Damage

[dvcao2003]

Does upping the power limit to max (120%) damage the gpu? My gpu has been crashing and blue screening in almost every application. The only thing that was change in the gpu settings was the power limit. Can putting it up to max damage the gpu and kill it?

Possibly...depending on how well cooled your GPU is and the airflow through your case. But most likely not because it will probably crash or blue screen before serious damage occurs.
