Overclocking GTX 970

[DeathStalkerPC]

Hello,

 

I am very new to overclocking so i watched tutorial how to overclock using MSI after burner. Like in the video I started by adding +50 to the core and doing benchmark ( Valley Benchmark 1.0 ). I was adding up to core +225 and +275, I also decided to add +10 to core Voltage. After doing that I started the benchmark again, but this time Valley Benchmark crashed and freezed my PC. After that I was't able to turn on any game till I restarted my PC. After restart It runed ( with OC ) any game for about 2 min and crashed again. But when I came back to stock core and memory everything works fine. I would like to overclock my card a little bit more, but after that I am scared of adding voltage. I have couple questions:

• How far should I go with my overclock ?
• How much voltage should I add ?
• Is this very dangerous ? ( I do not want to break my GPU )

INFO:

• Windows 10
• GTX 970 MSI
• i5 4460 3.2 x 4

Four i5 4460s? Interesting motherboard you have there.

(Before you rush to correct me, I know you mean four cores).

Sounds like you went too far. Try 100 on the core and see how it goes.
