GTX 780 Stable Overclock?

[Guest]

Title says it all, i have an EVGA GTX 780 ACX SC

and i want to know what is the max stable overclock for 24/7 use? i don't mean like Voltage i mean is 50+Mhz safe or 100+ on the Core, and memory Clock?

Trail and error? Afaik it can vary from card to card.

No it's stable. i just mean like are those specs  in the safe range. i mean what shouldn't i pass for example 150+Mhz?

It doesn't matter what other people get on their cards because your cards will be different. OC the card till its unstable and then back the clock off a little bit.

Take your time and bump it up +5 at a time and stress test it after every increase. If it crashes or begins to artifact then you need to lower the clock or increase the voltage. If you can't increase voltage then there's no more overclocking room on the card.

I didn't had to increase Voltage card is stable. i asked because i don't want to fry my card xD and what about the Memory Clock? can i just let it at default or do i HAVE to increase it too with the Core Clock?

the card has gpu boost 2.0 set the temp, noise level and power draw your happy with and the card does it itself no need to mess around.

You can leave the memory at stock and just increase the core if you want.

Don't worry about frying the card. Make sure you monitor you temps while gaming and you'll be fine. Make sure you set up a custom fan profile to keep the card cool. You want to get the fans going high before the temps reach 70 degrees. You don't want to run the stock fan profile and let your card sit at 80+ degrees all the time. That's a quick way to kill the card over time.

Thanks, yes i know that im not that new to PC Components just to overclocking :) i saw some videos where graphicscard jsut fryed because OC was too high that what made me skeptic/backholding from Overclocking

Nvidia has voltage regulations on their cards now. In the past you could fry them with too much voltage but now they lock it down to a safe level.

You can increase the voltage to max and you'll be safe. Only thing you have to watch for is increasing the memory or core clock too high since that can kill the card.

I won't go over 100+ or 150+ on the Coreclock

You may be able to go higher. I'm at +160 on the core and +200 memory on my 670 FTW+ and its perfectly stable. I can go even higher but it crashes in some games.
