Hi guys,
I have a EVGA GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0 and I love it! I did overclock it but not OV and its core is reaching base clock of 1486 Mhz but in Unigine Benchmark, this speed get to 1626 Mhz because of GPU Boost. the memory is well within its limits with 3755-3760 Mhz. Am I the only one able to get such high clocks or is it just the Maxwell architecture that is very tolerant? Please tell me if you have the same card, what clock speeds (with and/or without GPU boost) as well as memory clocks. I also have coil whine but it's very, very faint and it doesn't bother me one bit as when I play all the fans are ramped up and I wear headphones.

That's quite usual for a gtx 970, these cards are very good at overclocking and reach the 1350mhz-1500mhz range easily.
As long as your card doesn't crash then it's all fine ;)
If your happy with your card don't bother to overvolt. ;) The cards are great overclockers already without it.

-good luck
