A few queries regarding your GPU overclock.
Here are your questions rephrased with the same meaning and tone:
I have a few queries regarding my overclocking setup. The specifications are as follows: an Intel Core i5-2500K (not yet overclocked), a Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970, G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series with 4x4GB RAM, a 128GB SSD paired with a 750GB HDD, and a Seasonic 80+ GOLD 750w PSU.
Now regarding the details:
1) In MSI Afterburner, my current settings are: Core Voltage +87, Power Limit 112, Temp. Limit 80, Core Clock +138 (anything higher causes driver crashes during gameplay), and Memory Clock +700 (maximum achievable without artifacts). I've also tested Uningine Heaven Benchmark 4.0 twice with no display issues or crashes. My concern is whether these settings are suitable, and if not, what adjustments should be made.
2) With the Afterburner configuration above, under load I see a GPU clock of 1556MHz and a memory clock of 4207MHz. Are these speeds appropriate for this card?
I’m mainly curious about how my setup performed in the "silicon lottery." If anyone has overclocked this model, I’d appreciate knowing their results. Thanks. -Alex
It looks okay overall. You might want to verify whether your temperature is within the safe range. The card should automatically slow down if you exceed the limit, so reducing the overclock could help avoid missing out on its full performance benefits.

Seems good to me. One thing to maybe check is if you're hitting your temperature limit. I believe that the card will automatically throttle if you hit the temp limit, so if you're hitting it you may want to consider reducing the overclock a bit, because if it's throttling you won't be seeing the whole benefit of the current overclock anyway.
Cool, I'm usually not getting above 65c when gaming so I'm good to go there.
