Hi, i tried for the first time in my life to OC a gpu. read some things first and downloaded the msi afterburner, and Unigin's latest benchmark "Superposition". since i only play in VR i only used the VR benchmark test. i only managed to achieve +100 core and +500 memory, core voltage 100% and power limit 108%, anything above that gave me artifacts.

new afterburner app has a curve that i can adjust... question is should i? and adjust it in what numbers?

Also, my gpu temp during the test is 89-90c with a custom made aggressive fan curve, isn't that HUGE? i read somewhere that another user, with exactly the same gpu and settings, was achieving "fine temps" he didn't mentioned the number though.. did the same test in stock OC settings and the temp was 83c (with auto fan curve).. are those temps normal?

 
Solution
Higher voltage leads to higher temp. So turns down voltage, or just leave it at default. How high you can OC is dependent on the chip hence silicon lottery, though don't expect much with Armor model as they are built cheaply I.e doesn't have robust PCB and VRM. I suspect your card is limited by power more than anything though.
