Hello everyone, I'm adjusting my 980ti to a comfortable setting, but the fans are spinning at 1500rpms. Is that typical or too high? Also, after tweaking the overall fan curve by around 10%, I'm holding steady at 75c.

Perfect configuration, when you increase overclock, remember your present voltage, raise the multiplier to begin at 44, set it to manual mode and input the original voltage, save and restart. Perform a stress test; if successful, raise the multiplier again to 45 and continue until instability appears. When you reach a limit, increment manual voltage by small steps of 0.005 until stability is achieved during a real stress test. Once a suitable stable setting is reached, you're ready to proceed. It requires patience, as not all CPUs can reach identical speeds. Be sure to run a stress test for several hours before final use to confirm stability and monitor temperatures. Good luck.

The fans are operating well, but it's advisable to design a strong fan curve to maintain GPU temperature. Maxwell GPUs require consistent cooling for optimal overclocking. What are your final settings?

Gamer1985 :
The fans are fine, its best to create an aggressive fan curve to keep the GPU cool. Maxwell GPUs need to stay nice and cool for a good overclock. What are your final numbers? [/quotemsg
Currently my gpu overclock is around 1500mhz and i haven't touched the memory speed yet. Average temp is 75c and my unegine heaven benchmark is between 90fps and 190fps max settings.

Nice, 1500Mhz is a solid overclock. Which graphics card are you using? I'm currently running my Kingpin at 1525 Core/8000Mhz memory. Do you have any voltage increase? You're lucky to hit 1500 at 75°C. My kingpin is quite sensitive to heat, so I need to keep it below 65°C otherwise it crashes with a DX11 driver error. I could try a small voltage boost for extra stability, though.

Gamer1985 shares their setup and experiences with overclocking. They mention running Kingpin at 1525 Core/8000Mhz memory and note their card's voltage performance. They discuss temperature sensitivity and suggest keeping temps below 65°C to avoid crashes. They also reference their CPU and plan further research before proceeding.

Sure, let's clarify the details.
Overclocking is straightforward but requires patience to locate the correct voltage and stability testing.
Could you share your system specifications?

Gamer1985 is asking for clarification on the card choice. They mention overclocking involves finding the right voltage and stability testing. They provide their system details: a standard nVidia 980ti, Gigabyte z170 ATX motherboard, 16GB DDR4 3000MHz RAM, 980ti with 6GB, an i7-6700K at 4.0GHz, and an EVGA g2 1000W PSU in a rosewill thor v2 case. They also note it was built last week as their first setup.
