Is it a risky overclock?

[SecretX]

My gpu is a gigabyte R7 360, which has a core clock of 1100MHz and a memory clock of 1500MHz. Testing, I've found that each 50MHz increase on memory clock increase my FPS by 2 (furmark test) and core clock has no real impact on it (there's no difference between 900MHz downlocked, 1100MHz default clock and 1200MHz OCed).

 

How risky would be to run my gpu at 1100MHz core clock and 1600~1700MHz memory clock? It's a brand new gpu btw.

Risky?  If your GPU and Memory Temps are in check and by that I mean under 80 while under load, and the card doesn't crash games or have artifacts on screen, then you should be fine.

What if my GPU reachs 84° under heavy load @stock clocks?

Make a customer fan curve to increase the fan speed.  I know the older AMD stuff runs hot, but I would let my GPU sit over 80 personally.  It will be louder, but run better.

As long as it's not thermal throttling it's technically fine

Furmark is MUCH riskier than your OC, do NOT use it to stress test. Try Unigine Heaven/Valley/Superposition or 3DMark Firestrike/Time Spy

Furmark is a power virus, it can damage the power delivery of your card and stress the power connectors

While Furmark was running, I tried these fan speeds:

 

[fan speed - temperature]

100% - 79°C (174°F)

75% - 79°C (174°F)

65% - 81°C (177°F)

25% - 86°C (186°F) « Thermal Throttling

 

So my conclusion is, raise fan speed above 65% is useless and I don't know why.
