Overclock sudden failure?

So I managed a 2177Mhz overclock on my GTX 1070 with 20% extra voltage and it ran fine for about a month or so now. I have tested using 3DMark, Valley, Heaven, The entire set of Kombustor's tests ,The Witcher 3 and some other games and they all worked fine. Today when I was playing Metal Gear Solid V, my PC just crashed, I thought it was the game so I uninstalled it and reinstalled but it was still there. After that, I tried a game which I knew worked (The Witcher 3), and then it crashed as well. The only way to get the games to work is it put back to default. This doesn't make sense since an 8 hour valley stress test passed just fine a couple days ago.

synthetic test stability does not mean stability in games, also did you make sure there was not a single artifact running the stresstests? i would recomend Heaven for checking artifacts because they are verry easy to spot using it.

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Well, I dropped to 2164 but now I don't even have to increase the voltage one bit

Just set it to 2100MHz and you are golden.

Difference between 2100MHz and 2177, isn't that huge. If there is acctually any performance increase at all.

Something to do with bad scaling after your GPU goes beyond 2000MHz mark.
