What actions should be taken if overclocking leads to crashes?
i'm currently pushing my 980 Ti overclock and achieved a boost of +400 on memory, reaching 4050mhz. The main issue remains crashing without lowering the core clock by -40, which brings it down to 1377mhz even without the memory overclock. At stock settings, I need to reduce the memory clock, which feels counterintuitive for maintaining stability. I've increased the power limit to 106 but haven't adjusted the core voltage yet. Temperatures between 76-77 can be managed by tweaking the fan curve. I'm using Unigine for testing and MSI Afterburner for the overclock. The PSU model isn't clear from the PSU, but it's likely a Corsair 600w unit. The CPU is an i5 9400f.
It seems the GPU is still experiencing crashes despite using standard core and memory clock settings. Simply overclocking won't help; you'll need to find a stable configuration first. Could be related to the power supply unit.
I found this remark amusing when I noticed it in your profile.
Really, I agree with what you're saying.
The chieftec was given as a gift to upgrade from a 10$ 500W power supply. It was an improvement, so I had to accept it because my R9 380 wouldn’t work with that PSU. I intend to purchase a 1080ti once the GPU situation stabilizes, and I’ll definitely replace the PSU then.
