So I know this is a older card but i have the MSI GTX 660 non ti. Since the card is aging I am trying to overclock it more than MSI has already. I have it overclocked stable now. Using MSI Afterburner I have the power limit at 105, core clock at +50, and the memory clock at +600. All the temps are fine and i ran the heaven stress test for 3 hours and can game with it and the temps stay around 64ish degrees. I would like to keep going as much as i can but i am afraid of the VRAM overheating since i cant see the temps. Can anyone help me out on what to do with the vram? Also if anyone has a gtx 660 with the msi cooler could you share what you have for overclocks?

 

Thanks Guys :)

Memory has low temps so you can keep pushing it until you get a Driver crash or you get artifacting.

Max it out its giving the card the option to draw more power if it needs it.
