My GPU clocks down when it hit's 67 Degrees C

[3 Lions]

So I've applied an overclock to my MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G (Core voltage 0%, Power Limit 126%, Temp Limit 92 Degrees C, Core Clock +130= 2050MHz and finally Memory Clock +500= 4498MHz or 8898MHz effective) so below 67 degrees  C it's rock solid at 2050MHz but once it hits 67 degrees C the core clock drops down to 2037MHz and I don't understand why as my temp limit is 92 degrees C, surely anything below 92 degrees C should give me 2050MHz all the time. What is the problem?

What is you overclocking software? I know in EVGA precision you can switch between temperature and performance being you goal/priority. Might be in some r softwares too, I wouldn't know

thats literally nothing... its not like it drops down from 2050mhz to 800mhz...

Aren't GTX 10XX cards supposed to adjust their clocks based on temperatures? Maybe you left some feature on when overclocking? (Is it even possible to disable it?).

That's GPU boost doing its thing, I think.

[GTBTK]

your GPU starts managing the max clock speeds/voltages when it hits 43 deg and will step down further every 3 or so degrees

Further to what I just said, that is why watercooling graphics cards is a potentially desirable thing. it keeps the card really cool and allows the boost to turn the clocks up to as high as the card will support it
