Overclocking Intel Core i5 6600k and Zotac Gtx 1050 Ti 4Gb OC edition
Hey everyone! I'm just starting out with overclocking and building a PC, so I'm trying to double-check that my adjustments are safe. I really want to protect the lifespan of my CPU and GPU. Thanks for your help!

You're probably going to upgrade sooner than expected before you damage a GPU with any overclocking you could try in MSI Afterburner, even by tweaking the voltage. The stock BIOS doesn't allow much adjustment. The 2113 MHz core is actually quite solid for a 1050 Ti, are you confident it's stable? If yes, you've got a reliable 1050 Ti setup. Thanks for the response, Dunlop0078! It seems stable so far—no crashes or artifacts on my Unigine Heaven test. Your overclocking looks reasonable; +110 on Core Clock and +100 on Memory Clock are typical adjustments. That should be fine if stability is maintained. You might even push memory clocks higher with an offset of 200-300 if you wish. lel I tried +525 and it worked well.
as long as you don't interfere with voltages, your cpu/gpu lifespan won't decrease
You're likely to improve the system well before attempting any overclocking in MSI Afterburner, even adjusting voltage settings, since the stock BIOS doesn't allow much modification. The 2113MHz core is excellent for a 1050 Ti processor, aren't you sure it's reliable? If it is, you definitely have a solid 1050 Ti to work with.
You are likely to improve the system before you damage a GPU with any overclocking in MSI Afterburner, even adjusting the voltage, since they restrict changes to the original BIOS settings. The 2113mhz core works well with a 1050 Ti processor and it seems stable based on your Unigine Heaven test results. Are you confident about your overclock settings? the +110 for Core Clock and +100 for Memory Clock?

Thanks for your response, Dunlop0078! It seems stable, with no crashes or artifacts on my Unigine Heaven test. Your overclocking approach sounds reasonable—+110 for Core Clock and +100 for Memory Clock would be a good starting point if you're aiming for more stability.
If it holds up, you might push the memory clocks even higher, as many users do an offset of +200 to +300.
Dunlop0078 shared his thoughts with Vinotto17 about upgrading performance. He mentioned that most people will likely improve their setup before attempting extreme overclocking in MSI Afterburner, even adjusting voltage, since stock BIOS limits are tight. He noted the 2113mhz core works well for a 1050 Ti and confirmed stability on his Unigine Heaven benchmark without crashes or artifacts. Vinotto17 asked if the +110 Core Clock and +100 Memory Clock changes were appropriate, and received confirmation that it was fine as long as stability was maintained. Lel also shared his experience with +525 and stability.
