run benchmarks for few h and if its not overheating, causing artifacts or just crashing to bsod. then its a o key

Is it OK for me to overvoltage it?

Yes. there is only a finite amount you can over volt it in apps anyways so you shouldnt do any damage.

I over volted it to 50mV and that's only half way on my thing

So ur saying I can turn the voltage slider all the way up and it won't damage it?

NOOOOOOOOOO, DO NOT DO THAT.

 

Use the least amount of voltage as possible, I'd never mess with the voltage anyway.

 

EDIT: Also don't undervolt it.

Yeah... Don't do that. Power Limit can be cranked up all the way, but I wouldn't crank the voltage slider up all the way unless you are @TheGamingBarrel Voltage is safe to be increased, no harm there just don't go crazy with it. I would help you on what's safe, but I haven't owned a maxwell card, sorry.

I don't know honestly. It would be best if you opened GPU-Z, go to the sensors tab and check VDDC under load. (Run Unigine Heaven or valley in windowed mode for this)Your VDDC shouldn't go above 1.3.

 

Hope this helped.

If it is on stock bios, you can do highest volts, unless its a kingpin, lightning or HOF.

For example I have this 280X, it is a toxic, I only have upto 1.3V Stock, but I could easily do a BIOS Flash and push 1.4V,howveer at this oint it will be getting a bit more than toasty, which is one of the biggest reasons why chips dont overclock well.
