Is overvolting a Gigabyte GTX 960 secure?
He's asking about how voltages are recorded. It seems the graphics cards lack non-volatile memory for logging voltage levels, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. You might need to contact MSI or reach out to an MSI representative on the forum for a response. Consider moving this discussion to the Graphics Card thread.
The answer remains a negative, YET most gadgets nowadays include warranties that genuinely protect overclocking. Even if something goes wrong with your card, it’s likely covered. However, many of these guarantees are invalid because modifying the BIOS to an unapproved version can remove voltage limits. So, unless you avoid this step, you should be safe. I checked for a downloadable warranty card but wasn’t able to locate it. You may need to retrieve the one that came with your device or reach out to Gigabyte to request more information.
The warranty will be canceled if the damage comes from high voltages. It doesn't mention anything about overclocking. I think I'm protected as long as the card has no burn marks. Overvolting changes the BIOS or just saves it to the software you're using? In my case, it's the MSI afterburner.
