Safe overclock range for MSI GTX 1080 Aero OC
Safe overclock range for MSI GTX 1080 Aero OC
Well, pretty self explanatory I hope. How much can I expect to push this card on the least/safest range? Any fellow 1080 Aero users like to chip in pls?? How far have you managed to overclock your MSI Aero GTX 1080 OC card? :

It largely depends on your luck in the silicon lottery, the temperature you can maintain for the GPU, and how much time you have to fine-tune voltage and frequency settings. I haven’t seen a 1080 that can't run at 2100+ on air, and in some instances up to 2202+ with the proper settings.
The aero features a blower-style cooler, which will likely limit its ability to stay cool enough for effective overclocking, and even then it’s just a reference board—so you’ll probably hit power constraints.
Based on your GPU’s limitations, 2100 should be a solid overclock.
Overclocking is, by definition, working outside the guaranteed specs of whatever device you are overclocking. The ability to overclock is dependent on the specific chips on your component. So there's no way to say whether or not it will overclock at all without just trying it.
Search "semiconductor chip binning". There's no way to know whether your specific chip met the minimum or maximum test specifications for the bin in which it was placed. If it met minimum test specs, it probably won't overclock at all. If it met maximum test specs for that bin it will probably over clock very well. But you can't knoiw until you try it.

Overclocking refers to operating beyond the standard specifications of a device. The chance of achieving this depends on the particular chips in your component. It’s impossible to confirm without testing. Search for "semiconductor chip binning" to understand if your part met the required standards. If it did, it likely won’t overclock; if it exceeded limits, it may perform well. You’ll need to try it yourself to know for sure. Read the disclaimers about overclocking.
