How do I tell if my overclock is safe?

So a couple months ago I got a GTX 1050 with a little bit of a factory overclock. After a while I started to get curious and looked up a few guides on how to overclock. I may just be underestimating my card but I'm pushing it quite far and it worries me a little I'm not gonna lie. Temperatures are fine and its performing great but I'm just worried that there might be some things that I don't know about overclocking that might be vital to the survival of my card? I don't know if I should be worried or not so I'm asking you. I figure better safe then sorry!

If you didn't have to overclock your gtx 1050 yourself then don't worry about.  The gpu company usually tests their products before selling to the public.

I overclocked it further then that on my own. An extra 240 on core and 700 on memory

If temps are fine, system isn't crashing, freezing, or giving you BSODs, and in games you're not experiencing frame skipping or artifacting then you're perfectly fine.

 

If you do start having any of these issues then it'll be time to dial back that OC.

Download something like Unigine Heaven or Furmark and run it for at least 15-30 mins up to 24 hours. Come back and check for any artifacting.

If it's stable with good temps all is well
