[SOLVED] What will happen if i downgrade my memory clock and core clock alot?(-500 mhz)

[Adam65]

I want to do it to prevent heat issues

Card name: Gtx 760 mars x2

less performance,less power draw,more silence,better temps.
@Adam65 i saw i responded to your Apex legends low fps problem.Try buying a ssd or a hdd with more storage.Infact if u have spare 50$,buy a 1tb/2tb seagate barracuda hard drive,and use ur 240gb ssd only for windows and use it as a boot drive.

For that issue i fixed it, my 760 mars now works perfectly on the game(i tested all profiles on SLI inspector ) But it heats, now i get 75 fps stable on all high, but i want to put the settings to low and have temps of 40-50 degrees(currently its 60-72) But i am worried if i change such clocks too low it will break the card or something else, and yeah i freed up some space on my ssd too but it will get full soon hopefully no performance issues will happen in the future

The max safe temp for a GPU is arond 85C.60-72 is more than normal

There is absolutely nothing wrong with "60-72".

Yes but because It's old graphics card and already passed the worktime asus promised I'm thinking it will die if i don't use it at cold temperatures

And one more thing i am worried is when i was changing the thermal paste i saw this chip looking like a CPU in the middle of the card (there is 3 chips 2 GPU's and 1 this i dont know what it is) I saw that the color on there changed im thinking its because of heat and one more thing i realised the fans don't give air to that chip im thinking thats why the colors changed

When i touch that chip with my finger it burns and when i touch near the GPU it don't burn that much im thinking the GPU thermal watcher only gives the temperature of the GPU chipsets not that chip

This is how bad it looks... I cant afford another one, hopefully downgrading -500mhz will not cause any problems
(also i couldnt pull the fan cable so i just put 1 more book and put it like that lol)

 

[Adam65]

Do you guys think that this card is still usable? (Deciding from the photo)

 

[Dj0gany]

if it works then it works.Just try it.The card cant possibly die from heat in 60-72C range its just impossible.You card is fine.
