Did you win the silicon lottery with your GTX 1060 3GB?
Did you win the silicon lottery with your GTX 1060 3GB?
so i usually don’t check thermals or clock speeds, but with my asus gtx 1060 dual 3gb i decided to overclock it in cam. i set a 10% increase in power limit, added a 200mhz offset to the core clock speed, and also adjusted a 200mhz offset on the memory clock. when i ran unigine heaven for 20 minutes with these settings, it stayed stable at a core clock of 2100mhz, memory at 4200mhz, and temperatures were around 72c with fans running at 65%. i think i’ve really maximized silicon performance, but let me know if i’m doing anything wrong or if i’m actually harming my gpu. thanks!

I ran unigine heaven for 20 minutes with those settings. it was stable at a core clock of 2100mhz, memory at 4200mhz, temps around 72c, fans at 65%. i think i might have hit something good, but let me know if i’m wrong or if i’m damaging the gpu.

That's actually a better OC for the GTX 1060. Most cards don't even reach 2050MHz stable. Set the fan to 85% for improved temperatures. It won't harm the card.

i usually don’t check thermals or clock speeds, but after overclocking my asus gtx 1060 dual 3gb, i decided to tweak the cam settings. I increased the power limit by 10%, added a 200mhz offset to the core clock speed, and also set a 200mhz offset on the memory clock. When I ran unigine heaven for 20 minutes, it ran smoothly with a stable 2100mhz core clock, 4200mhz memory clock, and temperatures at 72°C with fans at 65%. I think I’ve really maximized performance, but let me know if i’m doing anything wrong or risking my gpu. Thanks!
