Hey guys i was wondering i keep hearing all around diferent answers but will over clocking dmg my graphics card or the heat. Say i over clock but i keep the GPU cool will it be perfectly fine????

The main two causes of IC damage are heat and voltage . But if you are keeping stock cooling , you'll be limited by heat before voltage becomes an issue , so i wouldn't worry too much about that . You generally don't want your gpu to go over 85C at load.

If you don't put too much voltage through there it'll be fine.

If the GPU gets particularly hot (my personal limit is 80 C) it can be damaged, but these cards have coolers meant for this. 

 

It depends on the specific card, as well as case airflow to a small degree

 

EDIT: voltages can damage it too, but I am not experienced enough to know specifics.

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Solitaire.

it will do a lot of dmg to teh gpu's hp!!!! But yeah, if overclocking just broke your GPU regardless of cooling nobody would do it.

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.
