Hi everyone, i've been reading up on a lot of tips for overclocking not only my gpu but also my cpu to get the most out of my system and i'm just wondering if i could get some assistance. i'm currently running a gtx 1070 hybrid single gpu rig and trying to see if i can get more out of it rather than running 2 cards or upgrading (i know that upgrading is usually more beneficial in the long run but even with the cost of gpu's possibly coming down 20%, the difference in running a single 1080 seems almost insignificant vs dual 1070 hybrid.)
so anyway, heres my problem, when using precision xoc the sliders reset and my benchmark score plumits when i hit an invisible roof. however, when i'm using afterburner, i can take it to the point it becomes unstable and forces the bench to crash but i cant seem to prioritize temp over power %. i'm including a speccy of my rig, as well as, a snap of what i've managed to increase before crashing uningine superposition.

i'm not sure why the ram is saying unknown, but i'm running corsair vengeance ddr4 2166 CMK16GX4M2A2666C16
any help would be appreciated

It's quite a modest RAM speed for now, with 3200 MHz becoming the standard. Some games really depend on this rate.
Regarding GPU overclocking, I don't do it much anymore—I'm content with 60 Hz. But there are plenty of YouTube guides for different skill levels...

The current RAM speed is quite modest compared to what's considered standard today, and a few games do depend on memory rate. For GPU overclocking, I don't bother because I'm content with 60 Hz anyway; there are plenty of YouTube tutorials for different skill levels.

That's a fairly low RAM speed for today, where 3200 MHz seems the de facto /basic standard anymore. A few games are RAM speed sensitive....
As for GPU overclocking , I don't bother, already happy since stuck with 60 Hz anyway, however, there are numerous Youtube tutorials by folks of various skill levels...

That's what I'm saying, the ram speed and times are set in my bios but for some reason speccy isn't seeing it.
