Hi. I am fairly new to overclocking and need to know a few things before I continue. I am currently using Unigine Heaven to benchmark, and my specs are as follows:
Without any form of overclocking and pushing my fan curve to 70%, my GPU temps are around 80-84%. Is this normal/safe? If its not then should I even bother overclocking or should I underclock it?
Also, is it safe/ok to have on/off dips in voltage/temperature limit? I keep hitting those limits briefly and dipping down over and over again (current clock/graphs: https://prnt.sc/oh18nk https://prnt.sc/oh1867 )
EDIT: I hit these limits even without overclocking, oops
Also, regarding my GPU voltage, how far should I even raise this? I kind of fear even touching it as it might raise my temps even more and also because I only have a 500w power supply.
That's all, thank you
