Hi all,
I'm totally new to overclocking and tried to overclock my GTX 970 G1 (Gibabyte). I added 140Mhz to the core clock by increments of 10 to 20Mhz till I saw artefacts, then I went back to +130Mhz. Everything seems OK (temp not over 63°, no artefact, no crash, and a boost of +3 to 4 average FPS in Unigine Heaven). I didn't touch the voltage because it scares me hehe. My question is: Is this type of overclock "safe" and can I keep using it or will it reduce the card lifespan on the long haul?
Thanks a lot!
