Hello,
I tried to OC my GTX1070 strix OC edition with msi Afterburner (+5 power, +100mhz clock and memory speeds) and my games instantly became unplayable, drops to 30fps, could barely move the mouse around with heavy lags. I then resetted msi afterburner to default and uninstalled using revo, did a clean driver instal for the gpu, but the condition remains.
Please advise.

you should try to do a CPU and GPU benchmark/stress test first before you start playing games straight away so you will know your OC is stable or not. can you tell us the specs of your PC before we can give any advice. including your cooler.
