Gpu overclock too far
Gpu overclock too far
I have the GTX 560 ti and I was doing some tweaks in MSI after burner. I left the computer for a second and I found that my idiot friend had turned it up to 1245mhz core clock and the screen turned an opeque green so I suddenly switched off the computer hoping everything would be alright and it was. I ran some bench marks and they seemed fine also. But I need to find out is the card damaged or was it because there was not enough voltage to support that clock Thanks Ben Stanway
It's okay. Pushing your GPU or CPU beyond their limits will likely cause them to crash, just like you observed. The chances of causing harm are minimal unless you increase the voltage excessively and risk overheating something. If the device is still functioning, no damage appears. You might need to make minor adjustments in voltage to stabilize overclocking. Proceed slowly (adjusting clock speed and voltage if necessary) and monitor temperatures. If stability isn't achieved, it could lead to a crash.
Is it certain that since the screen turned green everything worked properly when I powered on, you believe it might have been due to insufficient voltage? I understand with the new NVIDIA graphics cards they include overclocking safeguards, so you shouldn’t risk damaging your card.

It's perfectly fine, it won't damage your card.
Are you sure Because the screen went green everything was fine when I started up do you think it may have been a problem with the voltage being too low because I know with the recent nvidia cards they have installed overclocking protection so you dont mess up you card

It's okay. Pushing your GPU or CPU beyond their limits will likely cause a crash, but damage is unlikely unless you exceed safe voltage levels and risk overheating. If the system still functions, no harm was done. You might need minor voltage adjustments to stabilize overclocking. Proceed slowly—adjust clock speed and voltage incrementally—and monitor temperatures. If instability persists, it could lead to a crash.
I overclocked my Powercolor R9 290 and now can't even open Windows. I successfully overclocked another card using MSI Afterburner, but it won't boot properly. What should I do? Thanks.
