Safe overclock guide for ASUS Strix OC VERSION 1070
Safe overclock guide for ASUS Strix OC VERSION 1070
I just purchased an ASUS Strix 1070 OC Edition and am unsure about a safe overclock. I saw some videos where people increased voltage to 100, but I'm worried about that. My memory clock is around 500 and CPU clock is 122 with 30V. Is it okay to raise the voltage to 100 and also increase the CPU and memory clocks further? If not, could someone share a safe overclock for this model? Thanks.

should be able to see it, I set up a couple monitoring programs just for fun

gpu boost seems quite intelligent—it appears to detect when not playing a game, since every stability test I've run hasn't pushed it beyond 2000mhz, but when games are running it exceeds that
Furmark only serves to cause issues... it's a powerful heat source, definitely worth using. But really shouldn't be used for testing. You're hitting the power limit, by the way—it's throttling due to it.

I recently got an ASUS Strix 1070 OC Edition, I'm not sure about safe overclock settings for this card. I saw some videos where people increase voltage up to 100, but I'm not so confident that's safe. My...

it depends, I could provide you with a specific number for the stable OC I have for my 1070, but I’m not sure it would work the same way. Not all GPUs are identical when it comes to overclocking. The OC values you see will need to be determined on your own. Those figures you’re seeing might just reflect the current state of your clocks, possibly due to the power-saving feature on the 1070. When I overclock a GPU, I always set the power limit to its maximum and let it run with just that setting until I find what works best. There will be a stable safe point on one 1070, but it won’t be the same for another. Overclocking can differ from chip to chip. I hope more people read this and stop asking for good overclock numbers for their GPU.

Also, there are many YouTube guides about overclocking your GPU that might have useful info.
Alright, can I see your overclock numbers if you can?

You clearly understand what I just said, right?

I hope more people read this and stop asking for specific overclock ranges.
