Does overclocking a GPU without adding voltage raise temps?

took my evga 980 ti sc acx2.0 from it's 1303mhz boost clock to 1453mhz base and 3801mhz mem, just raised the power limit from 100-110%, everything else is untouched. would this cause temps to rise even though I didn't touch the voltage? from what i can tell the max voltage on the card is 1.187v

I would set a custom fan curve to keep your gpu cooler. You might have a bit more fan noise but a cooler gpu is always a good thing.

in theory, friction is friction. electrons moving through a conductor create friction. the more you squeeze through the hotter it will get, resistance plays a roll here too.
raised the power limit? so the voiltage did increase a bit?
Are you getting noticible temp rises or are you just curious?

you guys are right just ran the same benchmark taking the overclock off and the difference was 4c, is this because of the power limit%? or just in general? example, can i try boosting to 1453mhz without taking the power limit to 110%? or will that cause issues?

on the default fan curve which is 1500 rpm at 75c + the overclock im reaching 80c, without the overclock 76c. this kinda worries me about the summer, because if im sitting on 76-80c now imagine in the summer. should i set a custom fan curve?

with the fans at 65% i'm at 74c tops, i'm still kinda worried for the summer though, if i'm getting 74c now what will i see in the summer?

It really depends on your climate. I would think maybe an extra 5-10C degrees.

yeah I live in the sonoran desert so in the summer I take all the panels off my case and make sure there is airflow around the whole thing. oscilating fan.
your components will never run at room temperature, they will always be hotter.
