Overclocking EVGA GTX 1070 at 87C temperature
Overclocking EVGA GTX 1070 at 87C temperature
I used a power cap of 90°C, boosted the speed, and my temperatures are now between 82-86°C with a reading close to 87°C. Is that still within a safe range?
you might consider boosting the fan rate. usually 82/86c works well, but nearer the maximum limit. your capacitors lose efficiency more quickly at high temperatures.
Capture an image of your case to view the interior and fan setup.
I set the power limit to 110% (90C), boosted it, and my temps are now 82-86C with a peek at 87C. That seems still safe.

Very close to the maximum. I’d think about dropping below 80. Going over 80 will reduce the expected MTBF of the card. You can likely keep it that way for about two years.
