unstable gpu OC
unstable gpu OC
no matter how much i overclock my gpu remains unstable. I even increased the voltage to +50% without any improvement. It's a gigabyte g1 gaming 1070 and it never exceeds 70c with overclocking, but it always crashes after a short time. How can i make it stable?
Too much voltage may cause crashes. You should restart and remain patient.
Obtain the following free software:
HWMonitor
Heaven Benchmark 4.0
MSI afterburner
Switch Heaven to windowed mode. Enable most components to stress the GPU.
Launch HWMonitor, navigate to the section displaying GPU temperatures.
Begin Afterburner
Launch Heaven
Use alt-tab to make HWmon and Afterburner visible at the top.
Increase RAM OC slowly in tiny steps of about 10%.
If you notice artifacts in the benchmark or the program crashes, reduce the settings slightly.
Then raise core OC gradually in similar small steps (do not change core voltage).
Continue until you see issues appear.
Too much voltage may lead to crashes. You should begin again and remain patient.

Switch Heaven to windowed mode. Activate most components to stress the GPU.

Start Afterburner
Begin Heaven
Use alt-tab to make HWmon and Afterburner visible at the top.
Increase RAM OC slowly in tiny steps of about 10%.
If you notice artifacts in the benchmark or crashes occur, reduce the settings slightly.
Then raise core OC gradually in small jumps of 10% (do not change core voltage).
If issues persist, watch GPU temperatures closely. High temps may prevent proper overclocking.
You might need better case cooling or a new cooler.
In short, there’s no certainty about successful overclocking—each card is different.
