Hi, I have been overclocking my dual 970's and have a stable boost clock of 1580mhz on the core and +450mhz on the memory and have modded my power limit to 150% and increased the voltage to 1.275 up from max software oc voltage of 1.262.

 

Now even at idle the voltage is 1.275 no matter what I am doing. Is this harmful?

 

P.S. my cards are water cooled and never go over 50C during stress testing at this OC.

 

Thanks in advance for any insight
