Good overclock?

[MrChavelo]

Hello,

 

I overclocked my MSI R9 380 2GD5T to 1120MHz (stock 980MHz) with max temps of 70C at stock voltage. At 1125MHz I started to experience crashes in Valley.

Is it worth it to touch the core voltages? As I don't really want to if the performance won't increase very much. And is this a good overclock?

 

Thanks,

It it was mine then I wouldn't.

 

Over volting a CPU is one thing but I don't see the benefit of pushing more Vs through a GPU to achieve marginally better results.

 

Stick to the OC you got now and be happy that your never going to damage your GPU thorugh pushing it to far.

'Damage your GPU going too far' Is +200mV too far?

 

As for @op, if that clock is stable at stock voltages, then keep it running like that

? very difficult to kill card from overvolting now. id say under 1.35v should be good.

That wasn't my point though. Bumping your card 200mv for an extra 20Mhz on the OC is IMO pointless.

I did make it clear it was my opinion and I stick by it, overvolting a GPU is pointless, you can barely get any more mhz out of it than you would if you don't OV it.

That wasn't my point though. Bumping your card 200mv for an extra 1% on the OC is IMO pointless.

No, I was just asking if that was safe or too much. And yeah I get your point but and it's not worth it unless you really want to push it like when you get 50 more MHz to add up to +325 (in my case).
