GTX 970 Overclocking

[AgentSoo7]

Purchased a GTX 970 Turbo from ASUS. Its actually much better than expected, good temps and noise(for a blower). Started overclocking last night and was able to get the following:

How do my settings compare to other 970s, any tips, and also if you happen to know why does GPU Teak limit my core and memory clocks, the card boosts higher on its own (1450-1475 core). Thanks.

I've hit 1520MHz on my 970.

Ohh ok

You pretty much have the same overclock that I do, however I didn't touch the GPU voltage, only the power target. I think I could push it higher, but haven't tried to just yet.

Still testing, the voltage never got past 1200 even though I have it at 1213.

Nice, I can only hit around 1489Mhz.

 Not a bad overclock at all I have around 1489Mhz on the core, and 1990Mhz on the Mem.

Alright sir! Blower style or open cooler?

You could try lowering the voltage to see if it is stable at less, your GPU will live longer and stay cooler.

 

Also I can get to 1575 on core, haven't tried doing anything to memory yet. Also Gigabyte G1, this thing got itself up to 1440 on it own...

Gigabyte G1 that was previous air cooled, open cooler, I currently have it on water. The boost clocks though with GPU boost 2.0 is pretty sweet it can boost to 1600 consistent on water.

Thanks guys, good overclocking

only 1400Mhz im at 1550 MHz on an MSI gaming.

I'm at 1490 MHz and 8Ghz on the memory with a Asus Strix. Could possibly go further but this was literally the first setting I went to and been rock solid so far. Might dive deeper and see what else I can get out of it.
