Tips for Overclocking Asus GTX 1060 6gb
You've just purchased a new GTX 1060 Asus Dual OC GPU and are seeking guidance on overclocking. Since it includes GPUTWEAK 2, you can start there. Alternatively, you might explore MSI AB settings, but since you're new to overclocking, beginning with the built-in tools is advisable.
Just set up MSI afterburner and adjust the CPU by +150 and memory by +500. That should cover it. Any small extra tweak for stability hasn’t improved performance much in my case. I’d also set a custom fan curve to maintain optimal temperatures. Aim to keep the GPU under 70°C. If it climbs into the 70s during load, do everything you can to bring it down to as low a temperature as possible. Even if the software reports 72°C, there might be hidden spikes hitting 84°C, which could cause throttling and problems.
You can also install Furmark and run stress tests to check for driver crashes or freezes.

Don’t waste your time. You won’t gain much. Buy a 1070 if you need more muscle, or use the time to make the money needed for a 1070.
Thats not really helping with the question. In the details I said i had ordered it. Plus, it's a free thing to do which can increase performance, why should i not do it. Please, answer the question instead of putting stupid replies like that.

Some recommend changing the power management setting in the NVIDIA control panel—under "Manage 3D settings," set "Power management mode" to "prefer maximum performance." I’m not sure if it really matters, but I do it just in case.
