Hi there

Each time i do overclock over +80mhz on gpu clock my screen freezes and goes black for 1-2 seconds, but after that there aren't any problems in games or daily use. Temperature is abut 60-70℃ on load and 30-40℃ on idle

I tried to increase voltage but it doesn't help a bit.
I just want to ask if it is safe to continue using that settings or should i set oc to +80 mhz (it doesn't goes black at all)
Also memory clock is set to 9000mhz

My pc
Cpu: i5-6600k 4.5Ghz
Gpu:Gtx 1060 6Gb Extreme Gaming
PSU:M2 Gold 550W
 
Solution
Screen blinks usually mean the graphics driver crashed. Try reinstalling the latest Nvidia drivers. If the blinks continue, I wouldn't go over 80+ To be safe (they're not much gain overclocking anymore).
