Hello All,
Hope everyone is well! Have a few basic questions, so sorry in advance..im a partial noob to overclocking.
Asus GTX 1060 6GB DUAL OC
Intel i5-6600k 3.5ghz
16 GB DDR4 Ballistix
Asus Z170-AR
750 W Supernova Gold PSU
Anyways, I decided I wanted a little more out of it after reading up on overclocking with MSI Afterburner. So, downloaded Afterburner after uninstalling GPUTweakII, read Tom's Guide on Overclocking and a few message board posts and changed the Power Limit (as shown in the picture in the post), didn't touch Core Voltage, and changed the Core Clock/Mem Clock as shown.....noticed an improvement in Heaven Benchmark immediately. (Had 1654-74 stock or on OC mode with GPUTweakII in benchmark, now getting 1791. That's the highest I have achieved and this is the highest I've taken the overclock settings. Too scared to further.
And curious, is it better to manually clock through MSI Afterburner, or through GPUTweak II since my card is an OC card (maybe doesn't make a difference)?
My issue is: as seen in the graph below, it went above the 116 Power Limit I set in Afterburner a few times I would guess. A) Is this okay/normal? B) How in the world is it able to go above the threshold I set via Afterburner? It also shows green spikes for "PWR" in the PerfCapReason log in GPU-Z. Am I "throttling" and need to lower the settings? However, it goes to 101% when its set to 100% on stock settings...kinda weird I thought.

2nd Question: As you can see in Afterburner my Base Clock shows 1569 despite me bumping it up by +150...why isn't Afterburner showing the higher core clock? It shows Correct in GPU-Z as GPU Clock is showing right at 1719...

Thank you very much in advance for whoever can help! I truly appreciate it.
