GTX 970 Overclocking help?

[Nitin Kulkarni]

I have a ASUS GTX 970 Stix and have overclocked it at stock voltage to 1504MHZ(+200MHZ) boost clock stable and 4001MHZ (+500MHZ) and the temperatures don't go above 70C. I want to know if these are good overclocks and is it safe to be running these overclocks for around 3 months as I wanna play heavily modded Skyrim.

The 970 is an overclocking champ (pretty much all Maxwell cards are). It's a pretty good OC, with the temps staying below 70C, you're fine running that OC. 

 

EDIT: Also, welcome to the forums!

Are temps of around 74c ok?

Yep. Below 85C is fine really.

Also, check your fan settings, as you may be at 74c but not at 100% fan speed, so you might be able to get your temps lower.
