Stuck 8200MHz Memory Clock with my Asus strix GTX 1060

[Adam0673]

My GPU is stuck at 8200GHz Memory Clock please help!

Recently I overclocked my CPU, and with that my GPU too, because I needed some plus FPS to my new monitor (gaming on 2K instead of 1080p).

I overclocked my CPU from 3,8GHz to 4,8GHz with +1,250V with XMP enabled to run my RAMs on 2666MHz.

I did some stress tests then the next day I overclocked my GPU too. At first I got some impressive results than it fell back down the next day with the same OC profile. I was confused so I checked on my GPU Tweak software (I used MSI afterburner for oc, but i like the monitoring of the asus software).

Here I saw that my memory clock is running at 9028MHz and my GPU clock at 1100MHz at idle, and my temperate was 54 Celsius while nothing was running. These are my gaming temperates so I was confused. I gave it 20% fan speed so it went to around 30 but this isnt normal.

I switched back to a basic gaming profile which is included but my memory clock only dropped down to 8208MHz, and stayed there.

 

I switched my power profile in Nvidia Controlpanel to adaptive, updated my GPU drivers, fully uninstalled MSI Afterburner, turned off shadow play in Geforce Experience, turned off G-sync, lowered the refreshrate to 144 from 240 but it says the same no matter what I do.

 

Then I read that its completly normal, because my RAMs are running at 2666MHz and guad pumped. Im not sure what that means, or if this is the case because 4 * 2666 is not 8208 nor 9028. (Or Im just a compleet idiot at this point and dont know what Im doing lol)

 

I included some pics to help investigate this.

 

My setup is:

Intel core i5-7600K CPU 3,8GHz

Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB using 511,23 driver

16Gb 2666MHz RAMs (using 4 slots)

Monitor 2560 x 1440 240Hz G-sync

8000mhz is what it should be.

So it is normal to have it like this at idle? Is it because I overcklocked my CPU and enabled XMP?

I switched back from my OC profile when I saw the clocks so my GPU is technically not overclocked anymore.

yes memeryclock on older cards do not really change when idle

Ah I see. But I know that my temperatures were way lower at idle, so something had to change. My fans werent spinning at all while keeping a steady 30 celsius before. And now the fans have to run at 20% to keep the same temperatures. So my question remains, CPU overclock and XMP are the reason or I fucked something up?
