i have a 4gb msi gtx 960 and i got a clock around 200 more mhz on core and 50 mhz on memory but i use heaven benchmark and it keeps crashing and if i don't overclock it crashes is that ok?

Well dial down your overclock till it stops crahsing. There are steps in between 200 and 0 you know ;-) Just try settings in steps of maybe 20 MHz. If you know the area it will become stable in thne reduce the step's size to 5MHz

Im running my 970 cards stable at 120MHz above standard (without advanced voltage regulation(MSI Afterburner 110% power)).

Perhaps you could get 100MHz over standard, if you take my approach.

Otherwise, advanced voltage regulation could fetch you more, but dont do that unless you know what youre doing, and have great cooling.

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but you dont know why. In this computer, theory and practice are combined: Nothing works and i dont know why.

 

Atleast i can manage Some things, like my current OC personal best.

? be more specific. You put in? You exchanged your card with a 660, a 950 and a 660ti and a 240 and non of those ran fine?

Well dial down your overclock. Try 1250, stable? Try 1300, stable?Try 1350, stable? And so on ...

If one step crashed go back one step and increase by 10 MHz until experiencing fast crash. Go down 15-20 MHz.

You now should have your highest stable setting (for VALLEY! Other appclications might react different. Project cars crashes on me with every ocerclock)
