R7 260x Safe temps?

I have a r7 260x and I've noticed that the temps are pretty good. When I'm just browsing on google chrome and have a few programs open (Skype Spotify) it stays are 40c and doesn't fluctuate at all and when playing games it will go up to 60c. I'm wondering the safe temps cause I'm kind of interested in overclocking. Thanks

CPU: some amd thing Motherboard: its black RAM: its memory thats for sure GPU: r7 260x Case: corsair spec 01 Storage: 1tb of it PSU: 430w, so many watts

Display: its asus Cooling: fans Keyboard: logitech g710+ #browns4lyfe Mouse: its a logitech Sound: its what you hear Operating System: winders

90 is bad. keep it 80C or lower

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Ok thanks, do you know any good programs for overclocking cause I hear GPU manual overclocking isn't very recommended

MSI after burner or PrecisionX by EVGA

My Sapphire 260x got to 1225Mhz coreclock benching, but was only 1165Mhz game stable.

I also had to add a little bit of voltage, but hit a wall past 1165Mhz no matter how much was added it was not stable.

 

Using MSI myself, and then running 10mins of Uengines VALLEY benchmark each clocktest. If that passed two runs, I went through my games...

If unstable at any time, drop it off 10-15mhz and retest.

/Memclocking provides a MINIMAL boost compared to the definitive boost that coreclocking gives,.. so focus on finding your MAXcoreclock first.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

I got to 1200 Mhz stable today and I couldn't be bothered to continue, I'll some more tomorrow. Didn't even increase the voltage
