Just a few questions about my GPU overclock.

As the title says I just have a few questions about my overclock. As to specs, I have: a Intel Core i5-2500K (which isn't overclocked... yet), Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970, G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4x4GB RAM, a 128GB SSD with a 750GB HDD, and a Seasonic 80+ GOLD 750w PSU.

Now on to the questions:

1) on MSI Afterburner my settings are currently: Core Voltage +87, Power Limit 112, Temp. Limit 80, Core Clock +138 (any higher and display driver crashes when playing games), and Memory Clock +700 (as high as I can get with no artifacts). And I have run through Uningine Heaven Benchmark 4.0 twice and have had no display driver failures or artifacts. So my question here is are these okay settings? And if not, what should I change?

2) with the Afterburner settings listed above, under load I get a GPU clock of 1556MHz, and memory clock of 4207MHz, Are these good clock speeds for this card?

Anyway, I basically just want to know how I did on the "silicon lottery". Also if any of you have this card and have overclocked it I'm interested in the clock speeds you were able to get.

Thanks. -Alex

Seems good to me. One thing to maybe check is if you're hitting your temperature limit. I believe that the card will automatically throttle if you hit the temp limit, so if you're hitting it you may want to consider reducing the overclock a bit, because if it's throttling you won't be seeing the whole benefit of the current overclock anyway.

Cool, I'm usually not getting above 65c when gaming so I'm good to go there.
