Hey, here are my results overclocking my graphics card this my first time doing any OC so i don't know i i did it ok.

Core Clock: 1528mhz (i added +200).
Memory Clock: 3856mhz (i added + 350).
Voltege: i didn't touched and i don't want to.

This is my temp monitors and clocks: http://srv2.jpg.co.il/7/56239b91ecc4c.png
(As you can see, my GPU maximum temp is 53 - when my room is hoter it get to 56 but not further)
This is my 3dmark test results: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/8928183?
This is my valley benchmark test results: http://srv2.jpg.co.il/9/56239b9200946.png

It's seems that OC is stable, I didn't see any artifacts and the computer/video card doesn't crash so i think i can continue but not sure cuz I saw in other threads that no one up the core clock to 200 without touching the voltage.

I checked it in valley banchmark for two hours and i played in GTA V for a few hours as well.

I checked as well in OCT and something weird happened, this: http://srv1.jpg.co.il/10/56239b92062a1.png

I immediately checked in HWMonitor the core number 0 temp if it really was more than 110 celsius but it wasn't, it was on maximum at 58 celsius, so what the heck??

I've got a Zotac GTX 970 that currently running at 1450 MHz on the clock speed (over stock speed by 200~) and 3650MHz on the memory clock; runs smoothly in all benchmarks you throw at it with no artifacting or stuttering/screen tearing :) also runs max temps of nothing much above 70 degrees celcius

That's a pretty decent clock speed considering you didn't up the voltage any. You should be able to get more out of the memory though. Most of them can handle near 2000 (4000).

The Firestrike score is pretty pedestrian, but you'd need to run some more volts and up the power limit to get any higher.

There's nothing to be scared of in the voltage section, btw.....there is NOTHING in the stock bios version that will allow you to hurt your card. The voltage slider probably says that it'll go up to +87mv, but it won't actually raise it that much. The most you'd likely get out of the voltage slider is +50mv.
