Hey, I can help you perfectly with gtx 970 ATX 2.0 SSC. I know all about that graphics card, So just respond back when you're ready to work, And i'll help you get a stable overclock. Also, Bring down the voltage from +87 to about +25 for now, because above +50 Volts you will not see a difference for that card, And plus you don't need it that high. Unless you are doing serious overclocking. So, Far your overclock looks nice but if you're getting artifacts lower the voltage like I said and see if that does a difference if not lower core clock to +100, For that graphics card it sometimes likes to artifact a-lot past +100. Now, Bring up your core clock some more like 500 see if you're still getting artifacts change your Core to +70 Or +80...

Begin with the second bios, it offers a higher power limit which avoids hitting the perf cap. Install GPUz and ensure the sensors tab is visible during your tests to assist in diagnosing the overclock.

Sure, I'm ready to assist with your GTX 970 ATX 2.0 SSC setup. I'm familiar with this card and can help you achieve a stable overclock. For now, lower the voltage from +87 to around +25, as higher voltages won't make a noticeable difference for this card. Unless you're aiming for serious overclocking, you can try reducing the core clock to +100 and adjusting your memory settings until stability returns. Let me know if you need further guidance.

(Hope I help, respond back if you need more help)
The SSC will only utilize up to 1.262v max anyway. The bios is set to max out there. On the stock boost 2.0, it'll pull 1.256v, so, effectively, the slider doesn't really do much....he could set that slider on anything he wants, and it won't hurt a thing.
