GTX 970 G1 gaming overclocking possible without adjusting voltage
I have a GTX 970 G1 gaming card and I overclocked it without changing the voltage. Core clock is at 105 Ghz, memory clock at 540 Ghz, and the temperature ranges from 50 to 67 degrees. Power limit is set at 112, and I adjusted the fan speed to lower the temperature. It seems stable so far, and I've tested it with games like GTA 5, Fallout 4, and Witcher 3. The main concern is whether not adjusting the voltage was risky. Thanks!
No problem, just means your GPU is working at maximum capacity. Make sure to monitor the temperatures.

Of course, this applies when you're pushing the system under stress.
it's all good, just apply voltage when your card isn't stable after overclocking
Thank you for your message. I'm here to help. When attempting to overclock the core clock above 105, the MSI Afterburner monitor displaying "max" and the yellow line is not necessarily a bad sign. It could simply indicate that the system is under stress or operating near its limits. It's important to monitor stability and performance after such changes.
I want to know if running the card at stock voltage while overclocking is more stable than boosting the voltage?
I can't respond that way, but the issue is mainly about temperatures. Keeping it below 85°C on a GPU is ideal. Higher voltage generates more heat.
