Can't give you a specific value, silicon lottery and all that. What are you changing with the voltages?

 

To @SupaKomputa's point, don't get a 1050, the RX 570 has greatly superior performance (and therefore value) for a slightly higher cost, or the same cost if you're buying used. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

You really won't get too much OC from 1050.

Better get a used 570 than a new 1050.

Honestly, I wouldn't bother overclocking it at all. It's more trouble than it's worth. The performance increase from overclocking a low end card like that would be minimal.

it needs to be a single slot card since its a dell optiplex 780, so theres a gtx 1050 ti mini that i saw that was single slot so thats why im goin with that

On the extreme overclocking website HWbot.org, the cheap as chips competition is currently featuring a stage with a Cedar based GPU, namely the HD 5450 among others. I've overclocked a few. Right now I'm working on a pot design for it to use dry ice so a friend can scream ass with his. In order to overclock anyway well you need to volt mad the thing to like 1.5v vcore and 1.8v memory, and do a bit of binning, and better cooling is always nice. 

aditional infomation: Thinking about, the card can never game, not even if you overclocked it 200% of stock clocks, it's just patetically weak, but it'd do as a display out, about it really. 

Yours faithfully
