Hi guys, I've been testing my Strix Gtx 960 2gb version and it's showing a core clock of 1572Mhz with an extra 180Mhz over the stock. I managed to get 4005Mhz at mem clock, which is about 500Mhz above the stock. I'm a bit concerned about whether this performance will work well. My temperatures are normal, averaging around 67 degrees and reaching a max of 70 with an average of 70 degrees. I've run Heaven Benchmark and haven't seen any artifacts, but having that much mem clock is a bit worrying. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

The 500MHz setting on the memory is typical and not a cause for concern.
Starting at +500 is the initial point when increasing memory speed, with adjustments made based on performance.

If your temperatures are normal and there are no problems, you seem okay. However, you could be putting extra strain on the card, which might reduce its lifespan. Since your temps look good, I can't say for certain. Or maybe you just got lucky with overclocking a GTX 960!
