Im testing my casefans on my pc, to see,hear how loud they are an click sound,hum

What im having trouble finding answers to is max temps before my palit gtx 1060 6gb dual throttles because of the temps

I have seen someone say 83 degress and it will throttle

It's also good to know so i can oc my card, to do that what stress test is the best so i can keep turning fans higher to get it to stay under the temps where it throttles but still be silent

When i reach an oc where i have to make the fans spin so much that they are to loud, i know im at MY limited to how noisy i want my card, i hop it beyond 1900mhz at best no less than 2000mhz

Throttling slowly increases so even if it is "throttling" it may not be very significant.

Overclocking can actually end up about the same or even WORSE so you have to be a bit careful there.

*It's likely that the current, default setting is already pretty close to ideal, but you'll need to Google some articles if you want better information because GPU BOOST 3 is a bit confusing to use if you want the absolute best clock speeds.

I suspect more than 5% (reliably in-game) overclock would be difficult to achieve. I have a GTX1080 but have to wait for the THERMAL PAD fix before I mess around with overclocking.

Here's some more info:

(I have an EVGA card. I have to login to get the program but you may be able to find a copy of EVGA PRECISION that would work with your card. Anyway, there's a "MANUAL" mode in there that will process data and optimize a voltage/frequency curve for you. Since increased voltage greatly affects temperature that might be the optimal method of overclocking, combined with a slightly more aggressive fan speed profile.)

Update:
the link for MSI Afterburner does talk about the voltage/frequency curve, however I'm not sure if you can set it to automatically make the profile for you (which again is done by actually processing until data corruption is observed) the article just show the capability to adjust the overall "curve" but EVGA PRECISION can create each point for you.

Anyway, I'll repeat that raising VOLTAGE is to be avoided if possible since that raises the temperature, possibly enough that it's a worse option than the default profile.

I have a MSI 1060 It is the Gaming X version, (with the pre-shipped "Gaming" setting) and it boosts to around 1936 MHz without touching anything.
And yes the temperature target is at 83°C, but it never comes close to it. ( Advertised are a 3D clock of 1569 MHz and a boost clock of 1784 MHz, so it's close to 150 MHz higher)

So your Palit should sit somewhere around that mark, too (Or atleast well over 1800 MHz) without throtteling.
