980 OC?

[WhiteSkyMage]

Hey I got this GTX 980 G1 Gaming to 1537MHz core and 100MHz on mem but have a 50mV overvoltage. Should I go more on the mem? Are those 50mV overvolt decrease the life of it?

If you can keep pushing it and don't mind it, why not? Applying additional voltage to the core will reduce its lifespan due to the transistors being so small(The smaller the transistors, the more sensitive they are to voltage increases). What temperatures are you achieving?

Overvolting doesn't matter a lot so long as stays under 80 C under load and you aren't doing insane overvolts. Memory doesn't affect fps as much as Core clock so you don't really have to overclock that more, also it's hard to get big memory overclocks since it's dangerous to touch memory voltage.

The overclock is good and fine

Any voltage increases you can do without bios modding likely wont effect the card life too much.

 

You could go further, but keep an eye out for the point where the coreclocks need a lot more voltage to go up, as thats probably where you should stop...

Well, currently, at 1537 MHz core and +100MHz to the memory, I achieve highest 78*C, that's with the 50mV on on full stress...and you are right, memory won't give me a lot of FPS.

I was just asking so that I know if running this OCed at every gaming session will decrease lifespan too much... I made a profile, as I said, with just 1500MHz and +0 on both memory and voltage. Maybe that will be safer?

I also realized some games crash even with the smallest OC. I wonder, if I will be able to run Witcher 3 on 1440p with this high OC and Kboost ON.

Keep the current profile how it is it's fine and if you were to lower the voltage to zero, your card could crash.

If you are too worried about the life of the card remember, you wont notice the difference that 30 mhz does in game...

 

On the other hand, unless you game 24/7 the amount of time that your gpu is overvolted wont be very long either
