MSI GTX 970 Overclock

[ishraq2626]

I am pretty new to the whole GPU overclock thing,i was able to do this to my gpu (attached below)

Now i want to know if i should increase or decrease anything?

Should i leave the voltage as it is?

My temps are at max 67-70,71(once peaked)

increase the core clock and memory clock as much as you want until it gets up to 80C+ or starts getting unstable

Even though Afterburner is pretty cautious regarding voltages, don't mess with them yet.

Up the core clock and do a 10 minute stress test on furmark. Repeat until you see artifacts. Then do the same to the memory clock.

i just go in a game and play, if it crashes on launch ill just lower speeds then everything is fine

Just go to the max you can on the stock volts, and then if you want the extra performance try out the volts. Msi afterburner wont let you apply enough volts to cause your chip any more harm than the extra heat, so it isnt really a problem.

Why is that?

I mean even if my change the voltages,wont it increase the voltage or what?

I am a noob at this,im sorry.

Too much work. I prefer furmark or valley, even though furmark is way more intensive.

If you don't change the voltages, then the limit won't be changed automatically.

Are these settings okay?

This is my first PC so i want to make sure everything is ok.

Yep, they are.

[ishraq2626]

Yep, they are.

 

i noticed that my core clock goes down to 1490 mhz when gpu temp goes above 70 degrees,i changed the temp limit to max but this is still happening,why so?
