I have a gigabyte G1 gaming 970 and I have overclocked it. I want my graphics card to run at a temperature where it wont affect lifespan at all. I have it set to throttle at 70C and i'm wondering if i should lower it. it doesn't go above 68C when running 3Dmark at 1512mhz boost and it performs about as well as a GTX 980.
I have a case with high air flow and it keeps the card really cool and the fans ramp up to max because i don't care about noise when gaming.
I was also wondering if overvolting itself will damage components or if it is the heat that does. Heat is not an issue because i can set max temperature before it throttles.
Ambient temps are about 28C give or take a couple degrees
Thanks for help
