Hello! I recently upgraded to an Ultrawide display (29" 2560x1440) and my 1060 is experiencing some issues when running games at Ultra with around 60 FPS. I increased my 6600K overclock from 3.5 to 4.2 and the CPU is performing very well, appearing to be the most stable overclock for it. I’m unsure about GPU overclocking and would appreciate some guidance. My CPU temperature stays around 70°C with an air cooler. I’d like to significantly boost my GPU performance and reach temperatures near 80°C. I have all case fans and one side panel fan positioned directly in front of the GPU. THANKS!

Here is AIDA64 gpGPU and CPU test, along with a CPUID HWMonitor report:

Use overclocking tools like MSI Afterburner. Gradually increase the clock speeds until temperatures rise excessively, then halt. Check performance in games to ensure they stay below 80°C.

How would you proceed with setting up the Memory / Graphics Clock and Voltages? You need a starting point or reference.
