My first GPU overclock - Thoughts?

[Ser James Acinonyx of Compactis]

So I decided to try to overclock my GPU to a greater extent than my earlier whimpy attempt. I followed JayzTwoCents' guide on Pascal overclocking, and got the following results in Valley Benchmark:

 

Max power: 86%

GPU clock: 2114 MHz

Avg GPU Temp: 65C

GPU Voltage: 1.093 V

Fan speed max: 36%

 

GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 FTW ACX

Clock offset: +150MHz

Voltage slider set to 100% in EVGA Precision XOC

Power target set to max at 112%

Temp target set to max at 91C

 

I was curious to hear if this is a respectable OC, or if I'm just on like 2% of what's achievable.

Forgot to add clock offset

That's a fantastic OC and you got a good chip, not many GP104's go beyond 2,1 Ghz.

2114mhz is actually pretty damn good. Have you ran stability testing for long enough without artifacts?

I did run it for a good 10-12 minutes or so without any obvious artifacts. I'll run a more lengthy stability test when I get home again, and give an update on the results.

I usually start to get artifacts in the second loop of Valley/Heaven. First run is mostly good.

I had more time before I had to go than I thought, so I took a new benchmark. I did get some artifacts, so I dialled back to 125MHz offset, and got a stable 2088MHz over three loops of Valley with no noticeable artifacts. Thinking of going up in increments of 5MHz until I get artifacts again and then fall back one step to verify a stable, artifact-less clock offset.

you can set the voltage slider back to 0% because that doesnt change the maximum voltage anyway, but otherwise nice overclock.

Alright, I've done some more tweaking, and I managed to get a stable 2101MHz over three loops of Valley, with no artifacts, with an offset of +135MHz. Due to a minor hiccup with drivers earlier, whatever fan curve I had was lost, so the fans ramped up to an audible 50%, with temps of right below 60C.

I will consider this a successful OC, for now at least. My only minor gripe is the sound level of the fans, but that could be remedied by tweaking the fan curve at the cost of slightly higher thermals (or if I win the lottery I might watercool the darn thing, lololol).
