Secure overclock for gtx 960 4gb? Assistance needed.
Secure overclock for gtx 960 4gb? Assistance needed.
Hi everyone
I'm looking for assistance with a secure overclock. I've run benchmarks in high settings using core: 150, mem: 400. During testing, I saw green squares and flashing black objects. Could someone help?
My graphics card is a Zotac GTX 960 4GB and it uses EVGA Precision XOC.
I can't suggest any specific values. You'll need to determine the safe ones yourself. Gradually reduce the overclock by around 5 MHz, testing after each change. Continue until the artifacts vanish, then you'll know your stable maximum. Or, lower it to 100 MHz and keep increasing slowly until the artifacts reappear, after which reduce it to the final stable setting. I wouldn't adjust the voltage, honestly—it's quite dangerous.
Shektron:
Those items are referred to as artifacts – reduce your overclock, as you’re overclocking excessively. Alternatively, slightly raise the voltage to eliminate them. Honestly, I’d suggest cutting back on the overclock since high voltage isn’t very safe unless you’re experienced.
What values should you use? And the voltage adjustment should be in mV?
I can't suggest any specific values. You'll need to determine the safe ones yourself. Gradually reduce the overclock by around 5 MHz each time, performing stress tests regularly. Continue this process until the artifacts vanish, then you'll reach your maximum stable overclock. Alternatively, lower it to 100 MHz and incrementally increase until artifacts reappear, after which reduce it to the final stable setting. I wouldn't suggest adjusting the voltage, honestly—it's quite dangerous.
