Hello
Each time I overclock the GPU to +80 MHz, the screen freezes and turns black for a short period, then normal operation resumes. The temperature stays around 60-70°C during load and drops to 30-40°C when idle.

I increased the voltage but it didn’t make a big difference.
I’m wondering if it’s safe to keep using these settings or should I set the OC to +80 MHz (it works fine without blacking out).
My CPU is an i5-6600K at 4.5GHz, the GPU is GTX 1060 with 6GB VRAM, and I have a M2 Gold 550W power supply.

Screen flashes often indicate a graphics driver crash. Consider reinstalling the newest Nvidia drivers. If the issue persists, I recommend staying under 80+ for safety (overclocking isn't providing much benefit now).

I'll keep using the GPU for more time rather than taking the risk of an overclock for a few extra frames per second.
