I'm new at this overclocking gpu thing, so... I'm kinda nervous.
So I have a Galax GTX 1650 DDR6 EX 1-Click OC

I benchmarked the thing with FurMark GPU Stress Test and it hits around 71 Celsius maximum temperatures.. Any settings that I should change? Or maybe I should crank the settings up even more?
Here is my overclocking settings in MSI Afterburner:

Yes 80°C is fine but have in mind that the higher the temperature, the lower the clocks. 

 

+50MHz offset at 80°C will give you lower actual clock speed than no offset at all at 60°C.

 

You need to find the balance between temperature and max clock you can achieve in actual use, Furmark may not be the best tool for that, its more like the worst case scenario.

Wait, sometime my gpu automatically gets 2100 mhz core for no reason should I be worried?image.png.896ebba4148855d71eff98b763522fbe.png

Problem with the NVidia cards is the somewhat unpredictable behavioue of GPU boost, especially if it doesn't hit a peak with the bench programs you run.

 

I have MSI RTX 2070 Super, with +125 on the core and +750 on memory (1.5GHz overclock). Adding my core overclock to the stock boost for the card should net a boost clock of 1910MHz. In practice I have seen it boost to 2100MHz and hold 2050MHz almost continuously in demanding games as my temperatures were OK, conversely it has dropped down to 1915Mz when things got a bit warm (good airflow is important).

 

The higher the overclock the greater the temp and the lower the boost clock i.e. going too high just generates extra heat and can result in lower overall performance and/or crashes.

 

The Turing cards do like memory overclocks but you need to make sure that you aren't getting memory type artifacts which could be a precursor to failure.

 

Use Kombuster burn-in test from MSI Afterburner and turn on the Artifact Scanner.
