Achieving Asus Strix 1080 max with safe overclocking boundaries!
Achieving Asus Strix 1080 max with safe overclocking boundaries!
I aim to push the overclock beyond 2,050 Mhz. With an ASUS GPU Tweek, I achieved 2,050 Mhz for clocks and 11,016 Mhz for memory. The game crashes during Heaven benchmark if I go any higher.
Tweeks so far:
Not much adjustment yet, only the 'Power Target' was raised to 120%. The GPU voltage remains at its default setting. I attempted to set 'GPU Voltage %' to +100 (the software limit), but it didn’t work.
Maximum GPU temperatures reach 64'. Power usage stays between 97% and 105%.
What should I do? I still have space for more overclocking, right?
Specs:
Asus Strix 1080
Intel 4790 / Gigabyte H97 HD3
Corsair AX 860i
Windows 10
The maximum overclock would reach its peak only when stability is achieved.
Pascel cards such as the 1080 are voltage locked. The percentage slider adjustments in afterburner at full capacity tend to maintain a more consistent voltage during GPU usage changes, which I think helps prevent fluctuations.
As long as temperatures remain controlled, you can push the card to its highest setting without fear of harming it. Excessive heat and high voltage are the real threats to electronics, not overclocking itself.
