I'm new to overclocking and have a few questions.
I used EVGA Precision Xoc and MSI Afterburner. (All details are in the picture, I just didn't realize you could upload photos). This is my third attempt because I was feeling unwell.
In precision X, the voltage percentage is set to 90%.
Power target is 116%, temperature target is 91°C,
GPU clock offset is +258, memory clock offset is +175.
The fans are at 90% speed.
Question: When I enable auto, will the fans follow the fan curve? My curve shows 40% to 70% at 50°C, 80% at 70°C, and 99% at 90°C.
In MSI Afterburner, the power limit is also 116%.
Temp limit is 91°C, core clock (MHz) is +258, memory clock is +175.
Thank you!

This appears to be a suitable overclocking setup. Verify stability using a program such as Valley Benchmark. The system specifications include the PSU and GPU details.

Thank you for your message.
I've checked the overclock on Unigine Heaven several times and found no issues.
My system includes: an EVGA 500W Bronze PSU, an Intel Core i5 7500 CPU (likely the bottleneck), a B250M Bazooka motherboard, 8GB DDR4 RAM at 2400 MHz, and a 1TB Seagate Barracuda hard drive.
The GPU fans are set to 90% speed, but I'm concerned about potential wear.
Appreciate your help—I was preparing for emergencies just in case.

Haha, modern quality hardware comes with many safeguards, making it difficult to cause harm or ignite a fire.
A 90% fan speed shouldn't wear them out quickly—just a bit noisy maybe.
The PSU should work well for a GTX 1060 overclocked.

I wouldn't increase the GPU speed by running two applications simultaneously, even if they have the same configurations.

Alright, I'll remove Afterburner.
