Hi, I wanted to ask if I'm making mistakes with my overclocking process. I used the Kombuster benchmark for stress testing on my Galaxy GTX 960 and initially achieved 83 FPS. After increasing the core clock by 95 MHz, I got 89 FPS and kept it steady at 89 FPS when pushing to 120 MHz. I also boosted the memory clock by 150 MHz without losing performance. I'm not sure if this is correct and would appreciate any advice, especially since this is my first time overclocking. Thanks!

When your GPU usage reaches 99%, you don't need to do anything. Is the power limit being increased as well?

What are your complete system specifications? Are you using a monitor with a 60hz display or higher?
Could it be that your workload is heavily dependent on the CPU?

Yes, I'm checking your CPU usage first. If it's at 100% or near it, that's the result.

I notice voltage spikes on my CPU reaching the 80s
Yet my GPU stays at 99 throughout the test

What software are you utilizing? And once more, are you implementing the modifications? For example, in Afterburner, would you click the checkmark to apply?
