Problems Overclocking my 980
Problems Overclocking my 980
I was adjusting the settings of my 980 windforce edition and managed to reach the following result:
(Stable on the Valley Benchmark for about 30 minutes at temperatures around 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit.) However, whenever my performance metrics failed because I exceeded my core clock limits or didn’t provide sufficient voltage, I encountered this alert:

Initially I dismissed it, but now I can’t access anything that relies on my GPU, such as when I struggled to launch Rocket League. By the way, I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Del each time my metrics crashed. It seems not very critical.)
Benchmarks used: Heaven & Valley Unigine Benchmarks
Hardware:
GPU: Gtx 980 Windforce edition
CPU: i7 4790k (not overclocked)
Motherboard: Asus z97 Deluxe
RAM: Corsair Dominator 16g (8x2)
Power Supply: Antec 1000w (platinum efficiency)
Storage: Intel 730 series SSD/Seagate 4TB SSHD
Appreciate your help!
This significant rise in mVolts isn't meant to be exaggerated, particularly when pushing your system with overclocking. In fact, you could potentially gain performance by lowering it further while boosting memory usage. Returning to the original settings is crucial—it's risky. Would you like me to adjust the core overclock and boost memory?
This significant rise in mVolts isn't meant to be exaggerated, particularly when pushing your system with overclocking. In fact, you could potentially gain performance at lower default voltages during such light overclocks. Returning it to the standard setting is crucial—it's risky.
I considered reducing the core overclock substantially and boosting memory usage. Did you follow a manual or reference?
