Help with overclocking

[Wadu436]

So ive been overclocking a bit on my GTX 760. Im running at +100Mhz Core and +600Mhz Memory (Haven't stress tested it yet tho) without voltage overclock. So my question is, should i up the voltage?

[IP man]

Run msi combustor to see if you get artifacts on screen, usually means to high speeds or low voltage. try that first

Run it at that setting and decide from there. It might take +100 without an increase. 

 

You should bench with Unigen Valley since there's a thread on it. You can use games and 3DMark however.

upping clocks without testing inbetween is asking for trouble/instability. You need to up your clocks slowly while testing in between increases.

I tested it yes, but not like a stress test of 30 minutes + in something like furmark or kombustor (I ran it 5m in kombustor instead, ill run it 30m when im at what i will use as the final settings)

 

I think i was a bit unclear with my question so ill rephrase it:

Is it worth to overvolt your GPU to get a better overclock

Ps. I have a 600W Corsair CX600 80+Bronze PSU if that changes anything

Well usually you need up the voltage to get stable high clocks.

 

Is it worth the heat tho?

Probably not, im already running at 85 degrees celcuis and my case doesnt have the best airflow

 

Also its +600Mhz on the total clock, so its running at 6608Mhz total, as im using Asus GPU Tweak and that uses the total memory clock of the GDDR5 not the one that GPU-Z shows

If recommend using 3dmark instead it pushes your gpu harder you might get through kombustor for an hour then crash on 3dmark pretty much instantly

I ran Unigine Heaven and it crashed, ill retry this weekend when i have more time
