GPU OC

[Festive]

So I decided to wipe my old OC on my 1080 because Afterburner wouldnt let me change the voltage even though it was enabled so I decided to use the Gigabyte Xtreme Gaming software to try that out instead. Here it lets me change the voltage. I was just wondering what are safe amounts to increase voltage by?  Should I keep increasing by 10mV at a time until temperature is too high or is there a certain number (in mV) that I should use as my maximum and not go over?

Even if you set it at max voltage it will be safe because all graphics card have a vbios that allows the card never to go above a certain voltage. So feel free to put the voltage at 100% and continue on with ur oc.

I actually think you are correct but I would at least like a second opinion to be completely safe. Thanks a lot.

@Godlygamer23 you have any insight on this?

You should be fine turning it all the way up. NVIDIA will not allow the voltage to become unsafe. But if you want to keep your voltage as low as possible, keep increasing the clocks until it either stops boosting, or you experience crashing/other weird things, then start adding little bits of voltage. 10mv should be fine. But the less you add the better because even if it's safe to run the highest voltage setting 24/7, it will increase degradation on the GPU.

Thanks to both of you.
