Good GTX 970 OC?

I decided to overclock my 970 and after a few hours of stabiltiy tests, I've managed to squeeze and extra +180MHz from the core and +300 for the Memory without touching the voltage.

 

Is this good? I'd apprectiate some other people's results to compare, thanks!

Offset doesn't mean anything if we don't know the base. And you can only change the voltage through BIOS flashing. Mine's running at 1400MHz with 1.1v.

1432mhz is ok-ish for 970. 1500 is good, 1550 is great, 1600+ is the selected few.

I've always done +50 on core clock and +400 on memory for the 3 I've overclocked. Normally hit around 1500 mhz on core clock
