GTX 970 experienced a crash while running at +160 MHZ on core clock.
GTX 970 experienced a crash while running at +160 MHZ on core clock.
I purchased a pre-built PC with those specifications:
Power supply: Energon 650W
Motherboard: ASUS H110M-a
GPU: GTX 970 MINI GIGABYTE OC edition 4GB DDR5
When I attempted to overclock the core clock, the system would crash after about 5 minutes and display messages like "the Nvidia driver is not responded but restarted" or similar. The GPU uses an 8-pin connector (after MSI, I can only boost the P value to 112% and the core voltage is set to +37 mV). Please help me fix this? Thanks for your assistance (and I'm using the latest driver).
I'm not very familiar with overclocking, but I understand you need to repeatedly test and adjust the settings. Start your GPU at its default level, gradually increase the MHz by one notch until it becomes unstable, then reduce it back by two notches. Continue this process and be thorough with the tests.
It seems your PSU is functioning properly. However, not every unit can be pushed to such high speeds, so testing is necessary.

It seems your PSU is performing well. Additionally, not every unit can be overclocked to that level; testing is necessary. Thank you.
Wayfall explains that while not very familiar with overclocking, he understands the process involves gradual testing and adjusting the settings. He suggests starting with the default GPU setting, increasing the MHz by one notch at a time, testing after each change, and stopping when instability appears. He advises repeating this until stable, then reducing the settings back by two notches before retesting. He concludes by thanking the person for their guidance.
