I also utilize msi afterburner and with two asus strix 1070s, I've installed them both at +200mhz core and +400mhz ram (800mhz effective). To achieve this, I increased the power limit to 112% and set the core voltage to 100%. I run these overclocks continuously and haven't encountered any problems.

Hey, if you want to slightly boost performance, just gradually increase the Core Clock until you see issues like artifacts or crashes. Go up in 25 MHz increments. When problems appear, ease back a bit and return to a stable setting. You might also consider raising the Voltage and Power limits, but be cautious—raising voltage can damage cards as some users have experienced. Keep an eye on temperatures closely since your cooler performance isn’t as strong as other versions.

Your system works with Core Clock at 200, but increasing it further may cause crashes. For MSI Afterburner 4.3.0, you should use that version.

I usually attempt to update the newest version of an app, though it should work regardless. For the overclock, monitor games and comparable programs. You might still experience crashes or artifacts occasionally due to this.
