so i have a gtx 1070 super clocked acx 3.0 black edition. and because it is already super clockedcan i still overclock it. i know some cards are more able t han othes but could i get a rough set of number sto tell me what is reasonable. i know you might say to push it up 10 mhz at a time but unless i stress test it for 24 hours i may not realise if it is too high. can someone just answer this. which one of these is tolerable. 100+ coreclock 100+ memory clock, 150+ core clock 400+ memory clock. you can overclock memory more right. if anyone owns this card or a 1070 superclocked please tell me what you have been able to ovewrlock it to

The name is marketing not an measure of expected performance. In recent generations ... going back to the 5xx series, the SC has been repeatedly noted for having weak VRMs and VRM cooling. This stems from the fact that in almost every instance, and unlike competitor offerings, the SC is basically a reference card with reference VRM, little attention to memory and VRM cooling an the substantive difference being it has a better cooler.

When did you buy your 1070 SC ? If it was manufactured before November, it would be the original thermal design which is missing thermal pads. Even if purchased after, depending on how fast your retailer turns stock over, you could still have one that sat on the shelves for a while. So 1st thing to...

you've answered your question half way through. Numbers others may get, simply may not be achievable with your particular GPU. The advise would be to go in increments as you've said, testing along the way for stability. No two pieces of silicon will act the same or achieve the same overclocking results. No quick fix, if you want it to be stable, test test test! :)

So 1st thing to do would be to check and make sure you don't have one of these. If you do, send in for the thermal pad kit and apply the BIOS (which increases fan speeds)

Despite EVGAs damage control and forum postings stating otherwise here and elsewhere, both the SC and FTW lines are affected. Installing the pads take about an hour and there's many vids on youtube showing how.

As for OC settings, you can look at the ones here to get started:

Core Voltage : +100%
Power Limit : 112 %
Temp. limit : 92C
Core Clock : + 120 MHz
Memory Clock : +600 MHz (=9216 MHz effective data-rate)
