Hello guys. Thanks for clicking on this thread.

My title says what I'm about to ask. Does motherboard got anything to do with GPU overclocking? 'Cus I'm an amateur and I want to know.

My motherboard is ASUS STRIX H270F GAMING and my GPU is Asus Strix GTX 1060 6GB (Non OC).

Thank you.

Shouldn't hurt anything. And no we said very specifically it won't effect GPU overclocking. It absolutely won't allow any cpu overclocking as it's not a z270 board.

LOL. You amuse me xD. Of course it is functioning properly. If it was malfunctioning I would give it for repair, or order new one. (quits sarcasm) Ok. So you know my motherboard, what model, what so on. Tell me.. if I can overclock my GPU? and btw, do I also need to overclock CPU? I heard this [censored] thing from some of my dumb friend.

Okay. Enjoying, watch the attitude, almost everyone here tries to help.

Supahos your first answer was fine and is perfectly correct:
Very very little, a failing board I suppose...

It has very very little to do with GPU OCing, the perfect board might get you another 5MHz at the top end, but for normal non-competitive OCing it'll not effect it.

The board will however impact your CPU OCing dramatically. Yours does not support overclocking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1151

I'm sorry, but I'm really inexperienced at this.

Let me state what I understood: You're saying 'motherboard' has very very little do with GPU OCing. Ok. And the perfect board might just simply get me an extra 5MHz, right? Alright.

As you know, my motherboard is: ASUS STRIX H270F GAMING

I received a nonOC GPU, I wanted a factory overclocked one, but since it was out of stock, I opted for this.

So here's some other details:

NonOC:

1506 MHz Core - Boostable up to 1746 MHz
1280 CUDA Cores
Pascal Architecture
6GB of GDDR5 VRAM

OC:

1620 MHz Core - Boostable up to 1873 MHz
1280 CUDA Cores
Pascal Architecture
6GB of GDDR5 VRAM

I just want to know if my motherboard can LET my GPU OC safely to that of a factory OC'ed GPU. Thanks.

Anytime you oc something it's not "safe" your mothboard will have zero impact on your ability to oc your gpu. Your gpu will have 90% of the impact with the %9 comming from your power supply.

If you don't go nuts with the voltage the worst than can happen is your card will become unstable which can be fixed by either upping the voltage or lowering the speed.

So is it confirmed my motherboard has nothing to do with my CPU or GPU overclocking? Alright. My PSU is: Corsair Power Supply CX650, 650W, 80 PLUS Bronze, 135mm and I have plenty of fans, and cooling in my case.

Let me know finally. Am I good to go?

Thank you so much, btw. One more thing, I know it isn't safe. Of course I don't want to burn my GTX 1060 :( I love it so much. I should get married to it. JK. Anyways. I just want to match up with the factory overclocked one. That's about it. Nothing more.

I have an Acer tc-220 in which I have upgraded the, ram, GPU, wifi card, and power supply. I'm using a Zotac GTX 1050Ti OC 4gb edition. When using MSI afterburner I can only oc the core 113mhz and a memory oc of 3mhz. I've seen videos on YouTube using this card getting much better OC results than I have, so is it the cheap OEM motherboard and the *** bios/UEFI, or is it that the oc card is already maxed out as it is? Or did I get a bad piece of silicon?
