Hello, new to overclocking, basically learning through experimentation.
So I have my i5-7600k OC'd to 4.5GHz on 1.205V with a custom fan curve in the BIOS while my 1060 6GB is OC'd by 140MHz core clock and 350MHz memory clock. Voltage (100%), Power (116%, but it's not uncommon for it to hit 122%) and Temp limits (92) are maxed out on Afterburner for this OC. Fan curve basically has the fan speed percentage reflect the temp in Celcius (eg. 70% fan speed when GPU hits 70 degrees).
Now when I run Valley benchmark, it says the core clock is 2088MHz, which I guess is the projected number, because in HWMonitor it shows the actual core clock running between 1949-1976MHz and rarely hits 2000MHz. The temperature also tends to settle around 74-76.
With all that in mind, would I get actual GPU clock speeds closer to 2088MHz if I bumped the voltage up in the BIOS just a bit? Obviously I'd expect CPU temps to rise, and while keeping both the GPU and CPU temps under control is definitely a priority, I would like to consistently hit 2000MHz on my GPU. I know it's just a number, but what can I say, I'm stubborn like that.
