So....
Heres my build:

I want to know what would be a safe overclock for me to do, I don't got any clock on right now, hoping i can OC it soon. Thanks!
Just a random picture of the EVGA Precision X1 software..
Overclocking GPUs nowadays is mostly just a test with little practical value. As long as you don’t alter the voltage, you’re safe.
Boost your GPU core clock in 20mhz steps (begin at around 75mhz and increase gradually), perform a stress test such as Unigine Heaven for about five minutes. Continue this process until instability appears, then reduce the clock by 20mhz and repeat the test for thirty minutes.
Also, crank up your power slider to its maximum setting. It’s safe unless your card overheats significantly, like reaching temperatures above 85°C.
Hello there, I'm a beginner here and I sometimes adjust the sliders. I have the same card, but it crashed and ended up at 300Mhz around 1068mV. I managed to get a stable clock of 2050Mhz, though I can't go that high anymore.
I just did a quick test to remind myself.
I kept the voltage at stock, turned the power limiter to maximum, added 64Mhz making it 2012Mhz total, and set the memory to 4452Mhz.

Let me know how I'm doing with this.
😀
Overclocking GPUs nowadays, particularly GeForce models, is mostly just a test with no real risk. As long as you don’t alter the voltage, you’re safe.
Boost your GPU core clock in small steps of 20mhz, beginning from a 75mhz base and increasing gradually. Perform a stress test such as Unigine Heaven for about five minutes, repeating the process until instability appears. Once unstable, lower the clock by 20mhz and continue with a longer 30-minute test.
Also, crank up your power slider to its maximum setting. It’s safe unless your card overheats significantly (up to around 85°C).
For VRAM, there’s no guaranteed way to ensure stability—only through observing artifacts in games. I suggest pushing it to the point where you notice these effects. Then cut the offset clock by half if you wish to improve reliability.
I followed your instructions.
Does this look accurate?

The EVGA precision tool behaves similarly to what I experience. It keeps my GPU idle at 1607Mhz when not in use and increases it to 1950Mhz by itself. With the precision tool enabled and the boosts applied, it actually drops back down. When I check the print screen, it's odd to see the GPU idle at 1013Mhz. That’s why I rely on the MSI afterburner even though I have the EVGA card. Also, if you download the Rivatuner stats, you can use the on-screen display in games which is useful at times.
I believe I succeeded, I ran stress tests until I discovered the ideal overclock without any issues, thank you!
