overclock 1060 6gb amp
I built my own pc with an i5 7400 cpu and a zotac gtx 1060 with 6gb ram. I'm impressed by its performance, it's amazing. The only question is how to raise the GPU's MHz. They already came with everything installed and drivers. When I open the firestorm app, the boost frequency ranges from 0hz to 1772hz. Should I adjust anything in that setting or is it fine as is?
I haven't played heavy games yet but still want some advice. Please help me...
I own an ASUS GTX 1060 3GB model. It runs at its default speed of 1708 MHz. Through MSI Afterburner, I've set the maximum Power Limit to 116%, added a 150 MHz Core Clock boost and a 200 MHz Memory Clock boost. With these adjustments, it reaches up to 2052 MHz under load without any problems. I might be able to go even higher on memory settings, but that's not necessary at the moment. They OC really well. Go slow, increasing the clocks gradually. You'll know you've hit the peak when your core and memory clocks stabilize at their highest steady values without needing to adjust core voltage. Of course, you can expect the card to heat up more due to the higher clock speeds while gaming, but if you're okay with a bit more noise...
Essentially what you attempted is correct. Increasing the clock speed means the GPU boosts to its "boost clock" or "Boost frequency." Changing this will raise the maximum boost it can achieve. To unlock the card's full capabilities, ensure the temperature and power limits are raised as well, and let the fan run at optimal speed. (If you're hesitant about adjusting these settings, stick to the default values—it'll still perform adequately)

If you're okay with a bit more noise, you could lower the Temp Limit so the fan curve adapts automatically and keeps temperatures under control.
