MSI GTX 970 - Any good overclocks?

★ Coups ★

Hello guys! With the arrival of my new CPU and Motherboard I thought that it would be a good time to attempt an overclock. I have an MSI GTX 970. I also have an i7-4790k and an Z97M Gaming Motherboard from MSI with an 800w Corsair power supply.

 

I have MSI Afterburner already installed, so that would be my prefered software.

 

 

I am not interested in OC my CPU at the moment because it has stock cooler.

 

My question is what kind of OC's you guys have

 

 

Thanks!

Do you want to know what others have achieved with their 970's?

 

Just doing trial and error would be faster, because all cards are different, and you might have a good overclocker. 1350mhz would be a good place to start, and work your way up till it becomes unstable. then see if you want to add volts, or leave it as is.

cool story bro, but what`s the question?

I don't know what your question is, but there is a thread dedicated to the 970, search for 970 Ownersclub. I have the MSi 970 running at 1520 core and +300MHz on the memory, was quite a good overclocker, and still a quiet and relatively cool card at that.

 

 

Sorry I didnt make that clear. Im asking what kinda OC's you guys have on your 970s
