What should i do if i want to overclock this card? i actually already overclocked it +150mhz but if i add any voltage it will crash or freeze. I have boost 1492, + 122% power target and in game it goes to 1592mhz.

Should i even overclock more?

How much do you like the card running properly? If you are getting crashes past a certain overclock, I'd leave it as it is. Overclocking can easily damage the card, especially when it crashes the system as you are trying things. Stability of it also would depend on how good your powersupply and motherboard are.

max temperature i had in GTA V 56 in other games 52 or lower, even in benchmarks doesnt go over that 56.
but i have problem, when im trying to push it more in mhz games keep crashing. any solution for that?
I tried to overvoltage but that make it crash faster. atm 1225mV and max voltage for this card is 1250mV , even if i put +87mV still staying on 1250max. so is that max limit?

ps. (sorry for bad english i hope you understand what i mean)
