Hi,

Yesterday I've overclocked my ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 STRIX OC Edition. Here is the report. I'm using i7 3770, RAM 16 GB DDR3, PSU Antec TP 750. I've overclocked at the highest level through ASUS GPU TweakII and its performing well. Just need to increase few percentages fan speed. Please advice me if its safe to overclock at certain level and whether my power and voltage config are well enough to run overclock without any issue. I've already played Ghost Recon Wildlands few hrs at around 50-70 FPS after overclock without having any issue. Please also check my other voltage in AID64. Just do let me know if everything seems alright to you.

Thanks

Yes this what i wanted to test, my English is not that good to explain it perfectly, my point was if increasing voltage will rise temperature dramatically so it will downclock core automatically. You shouldnt be worried its normal. So if u had some cheaper gpu, by adding 0.100v would increase temperature that would downclock your core speed. But your Strix has good cooling so u shouldnt worry, u will gain much more clock speed from rising voltage.

I dont see anything bad by adding 0.100, never heard someone had any issue with it. However once u increase your voltage your temperature most likely to increase too. As u may notice once temperature going up, clocks goes automatically down. For example with my gpu i could only achieve 12mhz extra on +100 voltage, temperature increased by around 8C which made my gpu downclock because of it. Strix has very good cooling potential so it may be just fine. You could try to use for example furmark to test. Decrease your voltage back to stock (0) and find stable core clock. Run furmark until temperature reach the highest point, write down clock speed at highest temperature. Do the same with +100 voltage and increase clock speed until it stable. Let it reach highest temp and write down core clock then compare. So if results are like 12mhz its not worth it :)
Personally i think +100 is safe, but for better cooling gpus.

Hi Makentox,

When I back to stock and run furmark the core clock increase up to 1999.5 MHz. When temperature reached at 60 core decrease at 1987 MHz. After overclock the core clock increase up to 2100.5 MHz. When temperature reached at 60 core decrease at 2088 MHz. Here are images. Please check and advice at your best.

Wow strix has some really good cooling 60 is damn low. So in your case keep that voltage at 0.100 extra, even tho u put it all the way up its not maximum u can have, if you go to msi settings you can go advanced with even higher voltage, this when things can get serious. So 0.100 is safe and i never heard anything bad about it.
But when u put voltage to stock did u increase core clock as high as possible to keep it stable? Just weird that max temperature both on stock and +0.100v is the same.. But i guess fan did its job to cool it down.

Actually I increased the fan speed when overclocked. So in stock it 1687 RPM and in OC 2122 RPM. I just tried with stock voltage and stock fan speed, just increased the power +16. Now the core is 2088MHz after 61C it decreased at 2075. Please see the images. I also noticed when I played Ghost Recon Wildlands at manual OC (2100 MHz) and custom fan speed mode, the temperature never goes above 58. I just want to confirm whether it is safe to play games at the certain level of manual OC.

This is the point, u had to test it with the same fan speed (auto by default),or put both times on 50% fan speed and test it again.
But its really not that important, your question was if 0.100 will hurt, answer is - it wont :)=

Hi Makentox,

I want to ask one more thing. Why is the Core decreasing from 2100 to 2088? .Is there anything to worry about? Is this for the temperature goes above 60C or Do I need to re-configure voltage and power?

I just found another interesting part. When the temperature keep below 56C then max core is 2113.5 MHz when it reaches at 56C it decreases at 2100 MHz. So controlling temperature is the primary noticeable thing in overclocking.
