I've been gradually increasing my overclock on my RX 580, reaching 1505mhz on the core with a memory clock of 2250Mhz and it remains stable. After two hours of running Unigine Valley at high detail and 1920x1080 resolution, the game still ran smoothly when I checked back. My maximum temperatures during the test never go above 70* and the fan curve only reaches 100% at 75*. Looking at other overclock setups for 580 models, I thought a peak around 1480Mhz would be typical. How can I further confirm stability? My current approach is to adjust the overclock via MSI Afterburner and run Unigine Valley for at least 30 minutes each time. It's odd that it still works at 1505Mhz.

It's the GPU, not the CPU, that requires hours of testing. Continue raising your clocks until you notice artifacts (unusual colors and lines) or freezing. Then gradually lower by 10-25. If anything unusual appears, reduce the speed further. Also, be mindful of the maximum power limit if you haven't adjusted it yet.

They OCed to 1500. Assuming you have a good chip.
