GTX 970 OC help

So I was wondering if it's just a driver issue or I simply can't overclock any further or not.

I can't get past 1565MHz on core or the driver would crash. GPU-z says I'm no where near the power limit (it hovers around 70% and below half the time), doesn't look like it's using a lot of voltage either.

Did I just reach my GPU OC limit?

I was hoping to reach 1600MHz lol.

Anyways, I just wanted to check since I heard about the latest drivers causing issues with overclocks.

You do know people hitting 1600MHz+ on the core are just doing it for benching purposes and 90% of the time not stable at all right?

1600Mhz is not impossible but uncommon I have mine on water but can only get that when benchmarking almost never goes that high during games.
