overclocking the Asus GTX 970 Strix
overclocking the Asus GTX 970 Strix
I own an ASUS GTX 970 with a SA 600W cooler master v.2 power supply. I currently use a 1x8 pin connection. What are the recommended safe overclock limits?
Try adjusting yourself as each card behaves differently regarding oc. Consider increasing to 10-20mhz and performing a 3DMark test. If the performance remains stable without crashes, artifacts, or overheating, you can try adding another 10-20mhz and continue testing. If the score decreases or issues appear, reduce the frequency by 10/20mhz and extend the duration using a game or benchmark loop.

Achieving the highest stable OC without adjusting voltage is what you're after. Adjust the GPU clock to 1350 and memory clock to 7600. Keep the voltage unchanged, maintain power at full capacity, and set the temperature to 80°C. You can find detailed guidance in a YouTube video by JJ from Asus PCDIY. These settings should suit most Strix 970 and 980 models without issues. Use GPU Tweak 2 for Asus cards.
You should experiment on your own since all cards behave differently regarding oc. Consider increasing the frequency by 10-20mhz and performing a 3DMark test. If the game doesn’t crash, shows artifacts or overheats, reduce the frequency by 10/20mhz and try again for a longer duration using a game or benchmark loop. Aim for the highest stable OC without boosting voltage. Set your GPU clock to 1350 and memory clock to 7600. Keep voltage unchanged at 100%, maintain a temperature of around 80°C. For more details, you can search YouTube or check out a video by JJ from Asus PCDIY. These settings should work well for most Strix 970 and 980 models. Use GPU Tweak 2 for Asus cards.

Thanks!
Happy overclocking
Find the most stable OC without changing the voltage. Adjust the GPU clock to 1350 and memory clock to 7600. Keep the power at full capacity and maintain a temperature of 80°C. You can find detailed guidance on YouTube, especially from JJ in Asus PCDIY. These settings should suit most Strix 970 and 980 models well. Use GPU Tweak 2 for Asus cards.
