Overclocking GTX 960 assistance available
I'm currently overclocking my G1 gaming edition 960, and with +105 on the core clock I get a 1552 MHz boost clock in games but If I go any higher I get instability i.e. crashes every once and a while, but no artifacts. I'm running at the max voltage at 1.25 but my temps are absolutely fantastic barely ever reaching 60c at full load for multiple hours (I have a very aggressive fan curve in place though), and I'm wondering if a BIOS mod that unlocks the voltages would be a good idea or if extra voltage can still hurt my card even if I have good temperatures. I'm also wondering if at this point extra voltage would even have any affect on the stability of my overclock, any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated.
Consider increasing the voltage a bit more. Check out techpowerup for bios editors—they let you flash and adjust settings manually. Just keep the voltage under 1.3v.
Consider adding a bit more voltage. Check techpowerup for bios editors that let you manually flash and adjust settings. Be careful not to exceed 1.3v. Will the additional voltage really make your overclock more stable?
Ryan_78 shares his experience and concerns about BIOS editing. He mentions watching tutorials but remains uncertain about taking the risk. He notes the G1 gaming cards have dual BIOS without a physical switch, similar to some EVGA cards, which makes him unsure about the process if something goes wrong. Currently stable at around 1500 MHz, he’s satisfied but still wants to try pushing it up to 1550 MHz for better performance. He thanks the person for their advice.
