Reaching Asus strix 1080 max (safe) overclocking limits!?

[Alijericho]

I wish to overclok further than 2,050 Mhz.

Using ASUS GPU Tweek i managed to overclock clocks to 2,050 Mhz and memory to 11,016 Mhz. It crashes Heaven benchmark if i increase any further..

Tweeks done:-
Not much tweeking done as yet, only 'Power Target' is increased to 120%. GPU voltage is stock. I tried increasing 'GPU Voltage %' to +100 (max the software allows) but invain.
Max GPU Temps 64'. GPU power is usually 97%-105%. And GPU power consumption max hits 105% TDP.

What do i do? I have room for more overclocking dont I?

Specs:-
Asus strix 1080
Intel 4790 / Gigabyte H97 HD3
Corsair AX 860i
Windows 10

The max overclock would be as high as you can get it go stable.

Pascel cards like the 1080 are voltage locked. All the voltage % slider does in afterburner when at 100% is keep a more steady voltage when GPU usage is fluctuating I believe.

As long as you keep temps in check then you can go as high as the card will go without worrying about damaging it. Heat and excessive voltage kills electronics not overclocking in and of itself.

Looks like you are reaching the max stable OC. 2050MHz seems to be the magic number http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3364750/asus-gtx-1080-strix-good-true.html and https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?87087-Overclocking-the-Strix-GTX-1080 both got to 2050 stable. The Tom's Hardware member hasn't tested it at 2080MHz.

So that means i cant overclock anymore even though my temps are 63-64. Thats a very premature end.. Bit disappointed
