Overclocking broken

It's not broken lol. That's what overclocking does - Increases power consumption.

 

Turn up the fan speed - it's loud, but also probably effective somewhat.

it's also technically safe to run it up to 95c IIRC, so you're probably fine, but don't blame me if it dies.

Spend As Much Time Writing Your Question As You Want Me To Spend Responding To It.

If I'm wrong, please point it out. I'm always learning & I won't bite.

Desktop (Old but I never replaced it):

Delidded Core i7 4770K - GTX 1070 ROG Strix - 16GB DDR3 @2000Mhz

But like it spikes up there immediately, not normally

I have a R9 280 that i want to overclock. Whenever i try to change the clocks on it, the temp soars to 90 Celcius. Are there any suggestions you all have?

By overclocking you increase the amount of power the card draws, which increases heat. Now if it is suddenly spiking to a temp as you have mentioned, that could indicate bad thermal paste as RadiatingLight mentioned. But before we accuse the thermal paste, at what temperature is the card at before you overclock? Does the temp spike when you apply the overclock or when you start a game or benchmark? List your idle and load temps for both factory settings and overclock on the video card

Main system "Kethlon":

Core i7 3820 - Intel Desktop Board DX79TO - 32GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM Dual channel - EVGA GTX 1050 Ti SSC - EVGA 550 B3 - PNY 120GB SSD (boot),WD Blue 1TB (Mass Storage)

See profile for full specs

 

Primary Laptop "Vengeance":

HP HDX16 1370US - Intel Core2Duo P8700 - 4GB DDR2 800MHz RAM Samsung - HGST 1TB 7200RPM (Windows 7, Linux, MacOS 10.11.6) - Nvidia GT 130M 1GB DDR2

 

Downed Laptop "Xarasky":

MacBookPro3,1 - Core2Duo T7700 - 4GB DDR2 RAM 667MHz - Nvidia 8600M GT 256MB VRAM - 640GB HDD (MacOS and Windows)

 

Testing laptop #1 "Leonard":

It doesnt. It keeps going up until i stop the program

What's the highest it's gone up to?

run the same thing at 100% fan speed. what does it go up to then?

What clocks, voltage and temperature do you get when you do not OC and are idle AND benchmarking?

Then, what clocks, voltage and temperature do you get in the same workflow when you are overclocking?
