G1 gtx1080 safe overclocking
Hi guys
I'm not very experienced with overclocking. I just installed the Xtreme Gaming app from Gigabyte and set it to OC mode. I adjusted the fan speed to 100% at 80°C, and my temperatures stay between 72-76°C most of the time in demanding games at 1080p. For my CPU (6700K), I used Easy Tune to push it to 4.4 GHz, and my temperature is around 50-55°C with a voltage of 1.24. Is it safe to keep these settings permanently? Are these temperatures normal for the CPU and GPU? Thanks!
Msi Afterburner would be the best choice, it's straightforward, simple, and really effective.
the xtreme gaming app OC Mode only slightly boosts the GPU, adding just 50-100Mhz on your GPU core. it doesn’t really overclock much, but reaching 72-76c is fine; you shouldn’t exceed 85c. those settings are acceptable if they work well. your CPU settings seem okay as long as they remain stable, then you can stick with them.
Thank you, do you suggest any specific GPU overclocking software?
