Hey guys
I finally got my first successful CPU overclock done (i7 6700k 4.6G 1.3V) and now I’m thinking about overclocking my MSI 1080 gamingx with Afterburner.
I’ve increased the core clock by 80MHz and memory by 504MHz so far, and it’s still running smoothly without crashing.
My question is whether I should keep pushing these numbers? Right now temperatures are around 70°C under full load, and I haven’t changed the voltage yet.
What settings do you use to raise memory? Is boosting memory up to 500MHz risky?

I've increased my 1080 215Mhz coreclock and 400Mhz memory speed.
I didn't spend much time adjusting my memory settings, but it shows you can push even further.
