Overclocking with MSI Afterburner

[LTPKvN]

Hello, so I'm wondering how far I should overclock my Geforce GTX 108p 8GB(3 FAN), with MSI Afterburner, for Core Clock and Memory Clock, currently I have them both around 115 with no issues, how far can it go?

 

Other specs:

CPU:I7-4790(NON K)

Motherboard: ASUS Q87M-E

Ram: DDR3 24GB 

PSU: 650+ GOLD

You'll probably be able to push them as far as the thermals allow without worrying about power consumption or anything.

Depends on your silicon lottery, cooling, voltage, power delivery, etc. There's no clear/consistent answer. Keep increasing the core and memory clock until you reach instability or get a ton of artificating. At that point, dial back the clocks a bit and that's your max stable overclock.

 

Here's a short GPU overclocking guide (this may help you):

- Download MSI Afterburner and Unigine Valley Benchmark.

- Increase the core clock by a bit at a time (maybe 25MHz at a time) and same goes for memory.

- Then stress test your GPU (run Unigine Valley Benchmark) for 10-15 minutes.

- If the application doesn't crash, then your overclock is stable but if Unigine Valley Benchmark crashes, then your overclock isn't stable. 

- If your overclock is stable, keep increasing the core/memory clock.

- If your app crashes, you have two options: either add more voltage or decrease the core/memory clock.

 

- You can also modify your fan curve in MSI Afterburner (Settings > Fan > Enable user defined software automatic fan control) to your preference.

- Keep your temps in check, try to stay under ~85°C when running the benchmark.

- Check for GPU artifacting as this problem occurs when your memory clock is unstable or too high.
