1050 ti pinless overclock?
Hello forum, I was wondering if it's possible to overclock the pinless 1050 Ti ASUS expedtion GPU and if so, how? Thanks.

the *pinless* keyword suggests power is coming straight from the motherboard, which raises concerns about potential damage if the board fails. The GPU voltage must stay below 1.2V on 1000 series chips due to bios lock, and after overclocking it risks hitting PCIe wattage limits while still reaching 1911MHz without exceeding power or core voltage limits. This applies with a 6-pin PCIe connector. I also tried overclocking R7 at 1.3V without the PCIe cable—still stable from 1050 to 1200MHz and memory performance between 800-1000MHz.
