Overclocking GTX 1070 SC edition
Overclocking GTX 1070 SC edition
I'm trying to Overclock my gtx 1070 SC edition from EVGA I'm using Unigine Valley benchmark to test, and MSI afterburner 4.3.0 Beta 14 to overclock the GPU as I can't get any version that isn't beta off of their website
🙁
this is my first time trying to overclock a GPU here is what MSI afterburner looks like while having Valley Benchmark running
https://gyazo.com/19a580ab1fdd77d569573e06fc833c75
Core clock seems to stay from low 1900Mhz - high 1900Mhz, This is already very high tbh but I wanted to see if I could get anymore performance for my $. Anyhow, I have no idea what to bump my core Voltage% up to as I did get it running at +200Mhz without crashing for 15mins but once I bumped it to +300Mhz I got a instant freeze and I could barely even get on my computer after I had to ninja reset the Overclock settings via MSI afterburner. Anyone have any recommended settings to use for a stable 200Mhz overclock? (2100Mhz at least) also after the +300Mhz freeze I tried 200Mhz again and it kept crashing my display drivers so idk whats up with that. but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading this Novel basically ;P
Your issue is really about voltage. Increase it fully, and also activate the temperature sensors. Keep the fans running at their most intense settings. After that, attempt to run unigine valley once more.

Your issue is really about voltage. Go ahead and fully increase the voltage and temperature sensors, and keep the fans on very high settings. After that, test running unigine valley again. Does pushing voltage harm it? And what should the fan profile be like? I’m using this link right now: https://gyazo.com/1d45f1c7d81f645d3cef9d311c62a15c. Sorry for the link issue.
Max voltage shouldn't damage anything.
That should be fine, just ensure temperatures stay below 80°C.

TechyInAZ :
Max voltage shouldn't harm a thing.
That should be ok, just make sure the temps don't go above 80C.
And to backup my claims, watch this video:

Thanks a lot I'll watch this! So if I set the core voltage% to max and then lets say 200+Mhz? or should I try +300Mhz?
😀
also I've heard overclocking only loses the device a year or 2 off of a lifespan of like 9 years, so 7 years down the line this card won't be really even working with titles down the line, but it should only cut its life down by about 2 years or so yeah?

Sorry want to make sure I don't

anything up to hard xD

Your issue is about voltage. Increase the voltage fully, temperature sensors too. Keep fans on aggressive settings. After finishing, test Unigine Valley again. Chose MSI afterburner over EVGA precision. Set core voltage% to max power limit 111 and temp limit 91°C. Core clock +200Mhz. Benchmark ran and immediately stopped my display drivers with very aggressive fans.
Check the voltage issue. Increase it fully, especially the temperature sensors. Keep fans on aggressive settings. After finishing, test Unigine Valley again. Chose MSI afterburner over EVGA precision. Set core voltage% to max power limit 111 with a temp cap of 91°C. Adjusted core clock to +200Mhz and ran the benchmark. My display drivers stopped working under very aggressive fans. It looks like your GPU isn't stable at +200Mhz. You might want to lower it to 100+ and try increasing by 10Mhz steps for better stability.
TechInAZ shared their experience regarding voltage issues. They suggest fully maximizing both voltage and temperature sensors while using aggressive fan profiles. After completing this setup, they recommend trying Unigine Valley again. They decided to use MSI Afterburner instead of EVGA Precision and adjusted core voltage to the maximum power limit of 111 with a temperature cap of 91°C. They set the core clock to +200MHz and observed that their display drivers stopped functioning under very aggressive fan settings. They were surprised to find their GPU instability at +200MHz, especially since they expected around +300MHz. They noted that 200MHz is already quite high and advised lowering it back to 100MHz or higher in increments of 10MHz for better stability. They also mentioned that their GPU idle clock was previously between 200-400MHz, but after an overclock, it dropped to around 1600MHz unless they loaded a new area. During gameplay at full speed, it stabilized at 1600MHz with mV around 781, while at idle it reached 1.8-2kMHz and 1081MHz when loading new areas. They questioned why the voltage sometimes appears low despite these adjustments.
I believe it's MSI Afterburner itself. It seems the only afterburner versions that work with Pascal are still in beta. Until then, stick with Precision XOC for now.
