Need help to oc gtx 980
Need help to oc gtx 980
So I've installed MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z, and other utilities. The base speed on the card is about 1250MHz. I attempted to overclock it to 1700MHz but wasn't satisfied, so I lowered it a few times and found 1445MHz was okay. The issue arises during the full passmark test—my monitor stopped receiving the signal and went black, though I was certain it was still on. I'm convinced the problem isn't with the monitor, but with the GPU itself. This is my first time overclocking a GPU, so I'm wondering if I made a mistake. The temperatures during testing were around 113°C (mid to high 40s), fans ran at full speed, memory clock was 2000MHz, and power limit was at 110%. Thanks in advance for your help!

maybe the 1700mhz was a glitch and when you tested it at 1445mhz it behaved oddly? perhaps it's still boosted to around 1500mhz with gpuboost, or maybe you didn't notice or something strange happened.
I'm not sure if this is my first time, I've lost my overclocking experience XD.
Do you see the signal now? Or did the overclock affect it?
<<watch the f-bombs please>> everything up

sure, i've chosen not to push it too much and kept it at 1230mhz, which is roughly 50-100mhz below the standard.
I just chose not to overclock aggressively, keeping it at 1230mhz, which is roughly 50-100mhz above the standard.

Yeah, I just chose not to overclock too much—just set it at 1230mhz, which is roughly 50-100mhz above the standard. Cool!
Thanks for the advice!
