So i recently got my new pc, and i decided to overclock my gpu. I wasn't really experienced in oc'ing so i searched up some guides in the internet. Then i started overclocking and at the most part it seemed that i was doing just fine. Once i got to a oc that i thought was pretty okay i ran a stresstest using MSI Kombustor 3. I ran the test before i went to bed, the next morning MSI Kombustor 3 was closed and it was just in my desktop. Didn't really think that something wrong had happened so i shut the pc down and rearranged it properly in my desk (the pc was newly bought so it wasn't really placed properly in my desk). When i opened up the pc again there were artifacts showing everywhere in the desktop screen. I quickly turned down all the oc that i did and still nothing happened. i reset my pc but still the same results. Finally, i decided to open up the pc and remove the gpu to take a look. When i put it back in the artifacts were gone and the pc was fine. Would like to ask if my gpu is okay or not and whether i could still try to oc it at lower rates
here are the specs of my pc
i5 7400
asys h110m-d
8gb g.skill ram
palit gtx 1050ti dual oc
