Safe Overclock for the EVGA GeForce GTX 760?

[DanielG2115]

So I've been testing out some overclocking, and that best I can get is +125mhz on the core clock and +550mhz on the memory clock. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130933&cm_re=EVGA_GTX_760-_-14-130-933-_-Product is the model of my gpu. My temps never go over 67c, but is it actually a safe overclock?

If ur concerned , u can try the stability test in the nvidia control panel or u can manually test the gpu by heavily gaming on it, if it crashes(driver crash) u may need to modify the overclock. If the temps are 67, then its good and probably wont crash.

I'm not concerned per se, it's doing fine at those clocks, but I wanted to know what a 760 is capable of as a stable overclock, as I want the overclock to be as high as possible.

Well a stable overclock can only be gained if u experiment with it cause every card has a different sweet spot and not all cards are the same. You can try to increase your frequency 10-15% and ur voltage to 12mv and check if there is any white patches and if the system is stable by stress testing it out. If overclocked right you can get a 7fps boost in the games(depending in the games).

For some reason the maximum mv I can go up on is 12mv which is what I am at, and I want to make it a bit higher but things like Afterburner or Precision X won't let me?

That card and most of the 7 series are hard locked. So the most you'll get is 1.212 volts. You can slide everything all the way up and still not break that barrier. If your overclock is stable I wouldn't worry about harming the card. You can't do that without a hard mod, or some seriously bad case temps.

I did a bios mod on my gtx 680 to raise the power target. You can try that, it might gain you some extra mhz.

Yep, my 750ti also can only achieve 12mv on my afterburner. Or as sports boy said you can manually set it in the bios and set the voltage(knowing the limits) and check for a difference. The later overclock may only give you a 3-5 fps increment if performed correctly.
