Is my oc safe.
Hi. Could you confirm if your afterburner OC settings are appropriate? I'm using a single fan Gigabyte GTX 1050 with 2GB RAM, setting the OC to +185 MHz and +535 MHz, and operating at 107% max power.
It all comes down to whether you're stable and if your maximum temperatures are within acceptable limits (around low 70s max for me, since spikes are likely and could cause throttling). I've experienced Pascal cards crashing at +165 core and once at +144. Still, I haven't seen one handle a core increase of +185 well. A quick check with Furmark is recommended to see if it passes the standard tests.

I've experienced Pascal cards crashing at +165 core and once at +144. Still, I haven't seen one handle a high core OC of +185 well. A quick Furmark test can help determine if it passes the standard checks—crash is usually a sign of instability.
Jkomza:
According to the readings, my temperatures are roughly between 55 and 60. Have you allowed it to operate for more than five minutes? If yes, you're in excellent condition.
