I recently purchased an Asus Strix 1060 with 6GB RAM and adjusted the settings through the official ASUS app, pushing them to their limits. After making these changes, the screen went black and there was no signal on the monitor. I had to shut it down using the power button and then rebooted, which briefly froze before everything returned to normal. I’m wondering if this incident caused any lasting damage to the GPU or if it was just a temporary issue.

Gpu Tweak offers similar features to Evga Precision X, MSI Afterburner or Gigabyte Firestorm, but they are not customized for a single card. This can lead to very high possible settings. The software needs to support overclocking for devices like the 1080ti or 960. Pushing sliders to their limits often causes instability, resulting in the system shutting down. Once this occurs, the GPU BIOS reverts to its last known stable state and restarts automatically.

What you'll notice is that the sliders exceed the card's stability limits. If you decide to try overclocking again, start with the default settings and then explore the built-in OC profiles for potential adjustments.

Nvidia established a strict voltage limit at 1.93v, meaning any damage to your card during brief high-voltage exposure is highly unlikely. The issue seems to stem from instability. However, I don't suggest maintaining 1.93v continuously; it's safer for short durations. Correction: the correct value is 1.093v. Thanks, Vellinious.

Gpu Tweak offers a broad range of settings, similar to Evga Precision X, MSI Afterburner, or Gigabyte Firestorm, but these are not customized for a single card. This can lead to very high possible settings. The software needs to support overclocking for devices like the 1080ti or 960. Setting the sliders to maximum often causes instability, leading to shutdowns. After rebooting, the GPU BIOS restores its last known good state.

You'll notice the sliders exceed the card's stability limits. If you decide to try overclocking again, start with the default settings. Use the built-in OC profiles to observe changes and their extent. For personal experience, my Strix defaults at 100%, gaming mode at 106%, OC mode at 108%, and silent mode at 92%. My custom OC on both 660ti and 970 reached 124%, a process that took two days of careful adjustments involving voltages, power limits, memory, and base clocks. Only the power limits approached maximum, with none of the sliders reaching it.

Avoid repeating this approach.

Nvidia programmed a strict voltage lock at 1.93v, meaning any damage during such a brief high-voltage exposure is highly unlikely. The issue seems to stem from instability. Running this voltage continuously isn't advised, though it's safe for short durations. Appreciate the information!

Running it at this voltage continuously isn't advised, but it's safe for short periods. You mentioned a 0... which should actually be 1.093v.

Whoops. Yeah it's 1.093v. Sorry for the typo.
