The temps you are getting are more than fine they are fantastic and nothing to worry about!Īre you sure your power supplies (12v rails)is able to handle your system? Are you also overclocking cpu by any chance? At 1080p i could smash most games maxed without overclocking.Seems a bit weird, I run 2x980ti cards that are superclocked from factory, In Witcher 3 the temps get to 83-84c on auto fan and I have no crashes at all. No point in adding stress to your card if the performance isn't needed for the game you're playing. This is just me, but I have a overclock profile saved for my MSI GTX 980 (1444MHz core clock/7.52GHz memory clock) and only use it if I actually need the extra performance. I do this in +25MHz steps until crashes or glitches in benckmarks or games. Any change you make to the memory clock will be multiplied by 4 (change of 50MHz x 4 will boost you to 7.2GHz as example). 7GHz is know as the effective clock speed. Memory Clock: thing to remember with GDDR5 memory is the 7Ghz quoted as spec is 4 times what it is reporting in GPUz (7000MHz or 7GHz / 4 = 1750MHz). Go up another interval if stable, down if you crash or see graphical glitches. I also like to play a game or two for ten minutes or so for real world stability test (benchmarks are artificial and may not give true stability picture). Simply have the full fan speed kick in at 65C and you'll be fine.Īlso download GPUz from Techpowerup so you can see clock speeds and temps in real time in an easy to read formatĬore Clock: Increase in 50Mz intervals as mentioned, test in Unigine Heaven or Valley Benchmark. I run a custom fan profile so it's not loud all the time. Voltage has little effect on the overclock with Maxwell cards and could actually lower the overclock you obtain before thermal throttle. You will also want to increase the power limit in Afterburner up to 118% and don't bother touching the voltage. I only game at 1080p 60, so I will not need a big overclock, if any at all. I just want to achieve a slight overclock, like the speeds of the EVGA 980 FTW. I have very little experience and I don't really mind not getting a gigantic overclock.
