How do you find you stock core voltage

Run GPU-Z while using a benchmark, it will measure your voltage.

I have a evga gtx 970 ssc and i'm looking to overclock it and I just wanted to see what overclock's other have gotten.

I have a G1 Gaming 970.

Running 1.212V (stock voltage) I can get 1560 and 8Ghz, stable 24/7.

With more voltage I can squeeze 1580 and even 1600 but meh, not worth it.

 

I recommend you to go to the "GTX 970 Owneres Club" You'll find lots of custom BIOS to flash your 970 and get the most of it.

1450MHz is about average for core. Don't remember off the top of my head what memory is.

How do you find you stock core voltage

Ahh nope.. I wouldn't suggest that. 1560 is my boost core, if it's too high for your card it will crash. Start in small amounts

 

Here's what you should do:

Sure! You can't mess your card unless you overvolt it.

 

Keep in mind this, it's important:
 

No matter how much you try to apply extra voltage, the stock BIOS on your card has a kind of "safe limit", so you will hit a wall when applying voltage that protects you from wercking your card. 

 

Basically: You can kinda safely mess around with the stock BIOS, its when you start flashing custom BIOS with custom voltage that things get interesting.

 

Watch out for artifacts, and remember to stress test with various tools. (For example: I can run 1600Mhz on Valley, but that doesn't survive a run of 3DMark)

Stability is crucial, you don't want an OC that will crash in the middle of a competitive match in CSGO.

 

Good luck!
