Voltage not increasing when overclocking 1070

[laushik]

So I've overclocked my MSI GTX 1070 gaming x +175 MHz on the core clock and +450 on the memory but I want to go further and when I try adding voltage to my card on MSI afterburner there is no difference in stability. How do I fix this? Btw I have the latest drivers and my card never goes above 72c at full load.

 

system specs: i7 6700k oced to 4.5 ghz

 evga 650w gq 

gskill ripjaws 16 gb at 3000 MHz 

gigabyte z170 hd3 mobo

I've also set the power limit and temp limit to max.

Is it hitting the voltage limit? Check the voltage limit graph and make sure it isn't at 1.

That card already near it's limit out of the box, just sit back and enjoy it.  

 

To force the voltage you probably need a modded BIOS.

Yes it is the voltage limit. On the graph the voltage limit is on 1. What do I do now?

There are known issues with GTX 1070s and 1080s and MSI afterburner. That is why I gave up on overclocking my GTX 1080. For some inexplicable reason it would only save the memory clocks and not the core clocks. It showed as saved, after a restart - nothing...

 

My advice, try EVGA Precision. I know EVGA had some troubles too with their OC software, but that was a couple of months back, it might be better now.

Use EVGA Precision XOC and raise the voltage limit to 100%. That will allow it to max out at 1.092 I believe. Raising the voltage won't necessarily cause it to use a higher voltage unless GPU Boost 3.0 thinks it is necessary to raise the voltage. On older cards raising the voltage actually raised the voltage. On Pascal, raising the voltage CAN raise the voltage, or may not depending on the conditions and load of the card.

I will definitely try evga precision.
