Is this safe for my GPU?

GTX PH-1060 3G ASUS

Decided to go balls to the wall with my gpu, applying 200 mhz oc with 100% voltage, I dont mind running 100% fan speed, I even moved my case fan next to the gpu so it provides fresh air. I hit max 60C that way (80+ without).

On the internet I found that voltage is pretty dangerous for components, and my gpu hits 1093 during voltage increase in msi afterburner (100%). Is that harmful? Or am I safe. What are the consequences?

Increasing the voltage increases somewhere 50-80 mhz on top of applied oc.
Out of box it hits somewhere 1820 - 1840 not sure.

Main question, if you have low temps but voltage balls to the wall, still dangerous? or is it the temps you should only worry about?

How long could the gpu last before dying (if voltage is dangerous)? (considering i applied the clocks just yesterday and i have it for 3 months newly bought)
all help appreciated

At higher temps of 1093 mV it would throttle from 2073 to 2050 and stay constant 60-62C.

You can't really change the actual core voltage in newer cards without flashing a different vBIOS.

 

Just upping the power limit in Afterburner is fine, that's not gonna damage your card. I run my overclock with the power limit set to 104% on my GTX 780.

without touching the voltage slider i get 1050 (as seen in pic), so its no big deal the +43 mV?

I wouldn't consider it a big deal. Most people don't need to mess with the core voltage slider unless they're going for a world record overclock or something like that.

You seemed to be hitting the power limit. Have you maxed out the power limit yet?

Well, i want to squeeze every bit of performance I can (with minimal risk). It gets noticable as i have a 75hz panel and fps jumping from 65-70 to 80 feels smoother. 75hz aint much but with 5 years of csgo u can see every frame.


Power limit slider was increased, u can see in pic.

but whatevs, paid 250€ and will get my well deserved full potency of the card
yolo

potential*

 

Also why do you deserve the full potential of it

1 guy said he killed 2 of his gpus fiddling around with voltage

Core voltage and power limit are two very different things.

 

Too much core voltage will kill a GPU. You have to be really careful messing with the core voltage.

Maxing out the power limit is perfectly safe, all it does is let the card use its full power draw.
