Hello,

I have a gainward gtx 1060 basic edition (nothing special) can I oc it without voiding the warranty? I am planning on only using msi afterburner and nothing else.

When did you register the card with them. I'd check how long it's been I don't know how many years a warranty is from them.

Depends on where you live but most likely if you dont OC through bios it doesnt void your warranty since there is no way they could know you had oc:d. Besides the gpu will turn itself off before allowing you to do any damage to it.

 

Winning an argument with a woman step by step

step one - talk to her

step two - fight with her for 2 hours even if you are really right

step three - admit that she is right for the sake of your safety

step four - realize that you have accomplished nothing and she still thinks you were wrong and now she thinks you are even more stupid

*the gpu turns off when it reaches damaging conditions

I'm surprised all these kids today that think overclocking and safety cutouts are 100% error proof lol

First of all, I'm 23 and second of all no, they are not 100% proof, nothing is. But they have improved a lot along the years and work most of the time.
