Hey guys, i did an overclock on my EVGA GTX 1060 SSC ACX 3.0 Edition, and i would like to know if my settings are ok or if they're too high, i didn't even touch Core voltage, just the power limit

Core clock : 1716Mhz (old boost 1919Mhz) now boost at 2114Mhz (+210 Core)
Memory Clock : 2002Mhz ( 4004 Effective) now 2252Mhz (4454 effective) +500 Memory

Does my GPU have Thermal pads on the memories? i can't get the Core past +210, how much further can i take my memory? will there be any gains? i got anywhere from 10 to 22fps boost on my games, temps are around 65/67 load

Most OC benefit comes from the core, not memory. Also, your memory should be between 8000-9000. Double it again.

BTW, do note that the stock 1060 core clock is 1506MHz, you have gone 600 above that, so it's a good card. Take good care that the temp doesn't go near 85c.

GOOD, make sure your case doesn't cluttered by wires so case fans will move air more efficient.

It is, in my experience OC GPU for faster 3D rendering, the % speed rise of GPU and VRAM only make the fan die quicker, OC carefully, 10FPS additional isn't worth one graphic card
