Initial overclocking experience with Palit Jetstream 970 - seeking advice
Hello,
This is my first attempt at overclocking here, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I’m open to suggestions or advice. I tried MSI Afterburner and achieved the following settings for my Palit Jetstream 970:
Core Voltage: +30
Power Limit: 111
Core Clock: +130
Memory Clock: +450
In Unigine Heaven the results were:
FPS: 58.7
Score: 1479
Min FPS: 27.5
Max FPS: 127.0
The temperature stayed high, around 80°C most of the time during benchmarking (custom fan profile: 80% fan at 80°C).
Default settings were:
FPS: 53.7
Score: 1353
Min FPS: 24.9
Max FPS: 112.0
Temperature was near 77°C with the default fan setting, which was below 80%.
Thank you in advance!
Adjusted speeds carefully (Core Clock +150, Memory +500) and selected a more aggressive fan setting. The results were:
FPS: 61.0
Score: 1536
Min FPS: 26.4
Max FPS: 128.7
It appears stable so far. Peak temperature reached 78°C with the fan preset at 85%. I'm concerned because most reviews mention lower overclock results. Are there other factors to monitor besides temperature and visual artifacts? Any potential risks?
Got voltage back to zero, left the others unchanged.
In fan profile I set the fan to 75% when temperature reaches 75C and 80% when it reaches 80C (linear mode) and of course 100% when temp reaches 85C (I really hope the fan will stay at 75% most time).
After half hour of Crysis 3 on full max detail (including max AA and bloom) I could see no artifacts and there were no crashes. FPS between 40 and 60, depending on what's happening on screen. Temp stayed mostly at 75C. Opinions?
