You can overclock it as far as you like, obviously for the temperature lower the better but generally most people are comfortable with anything under 80 degrees Celsius.

 

When it comes to overclocking you can't hurt the card by moving any of the sliders too far in MSI afterburner.

 

Generally speaking when your overclocking it's trial and error so make sure you have a suite of GPU stressing utilities like a ungine or firestrike. Then slowly move core clock slider up about 50 mhz at a time until you get a crash then start inching up the core clock and the voltage sliders until you hit a frequency or temperature that you're comfortable with. 

Most 1080s will hit somewhere between 2 ghz and 2.2 ghz.

if u go too extreme tho u can damage the card if u stress it :v ( however too rare to happen , but it CAN happen , especially with insane memory boosts ;p )
