Anyone knows a safe overclock

Go to solution Solved by TheElt,

You'll only break it by adding silly amounts of voltage to it. Run something like Unigine Valley or 3DMark and slowly bump up the core/memory sliders until you start to artifact. When you hit that point, back off a little bit and as long as your temps are fine there's your safe overclock

I just upgraded from the 6670 to the 970 (Massive Upgrade) and i should do 20% more fan power and 200mHz extra clock but I'm not sure so look for the temperatures in MSI Afterburnner.

My Evening Prayer:

May your temperatures be low and your framerates be high.

Got 300 on the core and 250 on the memory.
