Are these OC settings safe?

[Jordy123]

Hi

I am new to overclocking and I just followed a jayztwocents guide on how to do it. Just wanted to check if these settings are safe and if this will degrade the life of my card by a meaningful amount (I know it will do a small amount, but as long as it lasts until technical obsolescence it's fine)?

Thanks

Screenshot of settings below. Under load, card will peak at 60^oC, 2160mHz core and 8000mHz memory with around 1000-1050mV voltage

Yes.  You can't actually destroy your GPU with the stock VBIOS anymore.  Everything is locked pretty tightly unless you flash a custom VBIOS and/or do physical mods.

You may not actually have to adjust the voltage slider. I would run the MSI afterburner auto overclocking feature. It honestly does about as good as I can manually do...

 

Hit the OC button top left, then hit Scan and then save that profile to one of the profile options. Then go back and hit test. It'll adjust your voltage curves, (make sure power and temp target sliders are maxed before you start) and thats about the best you can do to be honest... It will not do the memory though, so once thats all done, up your RAM, re-save the profile and away you go!

@LIGISTXI tried using the auto OC and it would put my core clock at only around +110, however I was able to get it to +195 manually and tested playing COD Warzone for an hour and had no issues. Am I pushing my card too far or is there something wrong with the way I'm using auto OC?

Thanks

Hard to say. Nothing your really missing, but I would test with multiple different things before you consider it to be stable... I have had what seemed to be stable GPU OC's only to totally crap the bed in Battlefield V for example.
