I recently got an gtx 970 and im considering overclocking it
looking at msi afterburner i see that i can limit the card by temperature or power, so im thinking about pushing the core and memory clocks to the highest it manages to stay stable (probably 1500mhz boost / 8000mhz or less) and power limit to max (106%) and simply leave the temperature limitation on 80ºc
this way i believe i will always have the maximum power i can get from this card without pushing it above temperatures i dont fell comfortable with, and the card will downclock itself everytime it goes above the thermal limit, giving me the maximum performance year-round
am i doing it right?
my pc:
gtx 970 pny blower fan
i7-3770 3,4ghz
pci-e 2.0
2x4gb 1600mhz
corsair 450W
