Issues With Memory OC

[Shaan5]

I have the G1 GTX 970 and For some reason, Whenever I push it past +270, I get errors in OCCT, Although I don't get any Artifacting. Why is this, Is +270 just my Max OC or is OCCT bad when it comes to memory

 

Thanks

Artifacting is more of a late warning. Memory can spit out a lot of errors before artifacting makes itself known. I've noticed this a lot with Maxwell where overclocking memory can run stably with insane clocks but it's not benefiting performance because it's spitting out errors.

So Would +270 Be my max OC For the memory or should I not push it any higher considering that I get Errors In OCCT

Yeah I wouldn't. Focus on core clock since it has a much larger effect on performance.
