Hello!

So i bought a Gigabyte R7 360 2gb OC edition. I wanted to check out AMD Overdrive, i increased both the GPU clock and the Memory clock to the max, after 5 seconds the screen turned black. I had to restart the computer but then everything was fine, i could play an hour of dying light without any problems and gpu sitting at a nice 41°C under load. I have a 3 year warranty for this video card. Did i lose it because of this?

Your fine, you didnt apply enough voltage for the card to reach those clocks so it shut down. Technically if you increase the voltage then you can void your warrenty because no card is guarenteed go overclock there only going to guarentee the stock clocks. Also any damage done by you is not the fault of the company and so that will probably void your warrenty.

Dear asot ,

Please kindly understand that if you need overclock/manually switch any value of GV-N670OC-2GD with OC II, due to we will not guarantee any overclock result. Therefore, please kindly understand that if the overclock value cause any physical damage, it will void warranty. Thank you for your understanding.
