is 87MV a safe voltage when overclocking?

also i used the settings these guys used : here

 

• GPU clock +170 MHz
• Power limiter 122%
• Mem clock +470 MHz
• Volatge + 87Mv
• is there any risk involed?

Yes, it's safe. The most you'll get are higher temperatures and decreased lifespan of the GPU.

It means it's unstable, but I would not use Furmark for stress testing. It puts far too much stress on the hardware, and a pass in Furmark doesn't mean it passes in everything else(like video games). Use something else like Unigine Heaven or Valley, or some actual video games.

well i turned the clock speed down to 130 from 170. and didn't crash yet but the temperature kept going up to like 78C and looked like it was still going up so i backed off and went back to stock..

was gonna pick up the GTX 1070 soon
