Hi,

I've been learning to overclock my gpu which is an msi gtx 970 gaming 4g. I've got my core to +180 and memory to +500, ran witcher 3 for a couple of hours with temps never going above 66c. Eventually the display drivers crashed. Is this normal for an unstable overclock? If so, should I lower my clocks or raise the voltage? What would you suggest? Thanks in advance.

Yep, I went by 10's for Core and 50 for Memory. Also, how do I know if I've hit the aforementioned wall? I'm just curious.
