Hey, I'm just starting out with overclocking. I own a GTX 1060 6GB SC (link provided) and I'm trying to boost it. I'm unsure how much to tweak the core or memory clock. Could you assist? Right now I'm at around 1768 MHz for the core and 1140 MHz for memory, with power capped at 100%. I use CAM for this process. I want max performance without risking crashes.

There's no definitive answer for "how much". Silicon lottery & all that.
Variables with silicon quality, cooling etc will dictate what is/is not achievable.
Being a single-fan design isn't likely to be helping you much on the temperature front.
Unfortunately when you start with overclocking you have to appreciate it's a lot of trial & error - for relatively minimal gains.
FWIW, that card will boost to 1835 MHz out of the box.
So, I assume you're talking that you've managed to bump the base to 1768MHz which would put the boost clock into ~2000MHz territory (assuming temps are in check).... I'd be very surprised if you managed to get (and remain) stable at that, honestly.

Overclocking involves testing and adjusting, and your chances depend on luck in getting the right settings. Keep increasing the speeds until they reach their maximum without instability.
