problem with 1060 overclocking

[Flowroro]

hey guys, im overclocking my gpu atm, and it wont pass 2152mhz, no matter how much more i increase clock by, havent touched memory yet. gpu under load is 40 degrees atm cuz i just installed an aio on it. any ideas? (i tried +500 just to see if its just visual bug on msi afterburner, and if i randomly +500mhz then obviously, my pc crashed)

have you increased the voltage?

no, its locked at 1.05v unless i shunt mod it

Is your card reference design or is it third party

its an asus dual 6gb, and going over works again somehow mysteriously. but thanks for the help

That's a very respectible clock for a 1060, is there any need to overclock anymore??

no but just for fun

How much you raised the power limit?

 

use the voltage/frequency curve instead. Bascially, use it to make the card run with a bit less voltage on the same clock speed. If it works, then you can push on to the next clock speed point, say 2157MHz with the same voltage. The concept is to reduce voltage to allow more current while staying within power limit because that's what limits cards with relatively low power limit headroom. For example, your card shares the same TDP limit of 140W as the founders (reference) card, but the Gigabyte GTX 1060 6 GB Extreme Edition has a limit of 225W. As a result, it should almost always overclock better.
