Your videos helped me out a lot I've been using MSI Kombuster before this video and I was never able to get a steady overlock when running any games. When I switched to Heaven Benchmark and it overclocked crashed correctly, I finally could fine-tune overlock my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB Founders Edition with an Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV. My final and perfect overclock without crashing, gaming 8 hours straight on any high-demand game (tried and tested): **Core Voltage:* 100%, Reference Design **Power Limit:* 120% **Temp Limit:* 92% **Core Clock:* (Base 1607) + 202 = (Average 2101 MHz, Peak 2126 MHz) **Memory Clock:* (Base 4007) + 568 = (Boosted to 4568 MHz) **Fan Speed:* User Defined + Auto **Fan Curve: (% - °C)* 40-40, 60-80, 84-88, 90-100
Thank you very much for the tutorial man! My current settings on MSI GTX 1070ti Gaming are: Core voltage : +0 Power limit: 133 Temp Limit: 92 Core clock: +200 Memory clock: +575 With a custom fan speed curve at about 80% fan speed at 75 degrees and 100% at 85 degrees. The GPU seems to be stable at these settings. I was able to pull off 15783 points in Heaven Benchmark 4.0 on 1080p Extreme settings. Hope this helps.
@@ogonfer Hi, it's good that you perform series of burn-in tests after the overclocking in order to monitor the stability and temperature of the card. I used Heaven Benchmark 4 and Passmark Burnin Test. If you run the heavy tests for 20 minutes without having the card exceed 75-80 degrees then it is all good. Anyway I believe that even if the card goes too hot it automatically reduces the clock speeds in order to drop down the temperatures. So all in all I belive that, yes, it is a safe thing to do epecially if you perform the stabiltiy and temperature tests after the overclocking.
Hi pal. I Overclocked before see your video. MSI 1070TI Titanium, I Use MSI Afterburner with this settings (hours and hours of test, was a long day!): Core voltage:+15 / Power Limit:133 / Temp Limit: 92 / Core Clock +190 / Memory Clock +504 / Fan speed personalized (40% at 40°C and rise at 100% at 57°C) - The max temp was 61° with FPS Min 86,58 and Máx 156,18 with 98% Use of CPU. My Score at 1080P Medium Was 16012 in Superpotition Benchmark (without OC was 14138 points, 81FPSMin y 142Max). I hope this numbers be useful for others. Thanks for the video. Gretings from Argentina
I know this is an older video at this point, but I have an asus rog strix 1070ti advanced edition and the thermal compound on it was complete dogshit and was cement after like 9 months of running at stock and just using it for gaming. Replaced the thermal paste with arctic silver 5 and got my temps in furmark down from 88c to 65c. So seems like it needed a new thermal paste application. If your card is running hot you aren't going to be able to squeeze as much performance out of your card. If you card is out of warranty I'd say do it because it's not like it really matters at that point. (edit) If anyone is wondering I got +225 on the core and +300 on my memory. I would recommend this card if you can get it for around 300 usd used on ebay or something. Card is the Asus ROG Strix 1070ti Advanced Edition. Make sure to get the advanced edition because those ones are binned.
thanks a lot for the guide boosted my memory clock to 700 and core clock to 220 and they are both stable did benchmarks and game tests much appreciated
First i would like to congratulate you for actually caring about you viewers and responding to comments even after almost a year. Does overclocking damage my pc?
Thanks! We try to keep the community going. Jump on OCC Forums if you want to chat about PCs :). Anyways if you want to get technical, anything outside the manufacture design can and will damage the components. However this is a very broad statement. For video cards and processors these days it is all about voltage and heat generated. The more voltage it takes to overclock, the more heat is created. Since silicon dies have gotten down to 10-14nm, what wasn't a big deal like microvolts, is a big thing. 0.2mv can be the difference between a video card lasting 10 years or 1 month. Since NVIDIA video cards have a very locked down voltage range, its pretty hard to near impossible to damage the GPU Silicon without physical mods or official leaked BIOS from Overclocking conventions. But heat does play a role in the lifespan of the Silicon, so more heat mean it it will fail sooner than before. How long? well depends on everything else, but I would say it knocks a few years off the cards life. But in 6-8 years the card won't be able to play the newest games anyways.... If you are mining or folding@home, that is a different story, cards under 24/7 load will live way shorter lives no matter what you do, they aren't designed for that type of environment. Maybe the Silicon will survive, but the constant load and 80c temps will kill everything else first.
Thanks a lot for the guide! Was easy to follow and reproduce. I got +200/+700 (Samsung) on an Asus GTX 1070 ti Cerberus with temps never breaking 70°C. Went from a 3045 to a 3420 Benchmark score (I5 6500 and still DDR3). That's about a 12% increase just from overclocking the GPU. Was really surprised about the temperatures. I think the Fans never broke 70% either and I tested the OC both with MSI Afterburner and ASUS GPU TweakII.
I used Heaven, but any benchmark that gives you a looping option works. I'm thinking of switching to the Superposition 2017 benchmark for the RTX series.
1070 Ti FE: Memory clock +600, Core clock +200, Core voltage +50, Boost Lock on at all times, steady gaming at 4K (3840x2160) about a year now at those clock speeds
EVGA 1070 Ti FE here. 173+ Core clock & 550-600 + Memory Clock. FAN SPEED 100% cause i could care less about a bit of noise. Perfectly stable no crashes. My benchmark for the card is about 0.001% i haven't done fine tuning to much.
As a conservative setting, I went with 160 core, 480 memory. I ran at 180/500 comfortably but noticed some lines appearing a bit higher, around 190/550, so I figured dialing it down slightly under what would be comfortable would be ideal. Boosting to max possible settings would only gain a frame or two at most, so what's the point of running right on the edge? MSI 1070ti Armor OC
MSI Duke edition here, managed stable +200/+450, found this comfortable and didn't want to try to go higher as I want some breathing room. Tried +500 on mem but crashed. +200 on core seemed fine, didn't need to try higher, might try going up by +20 increments. Got a heaven avg fps of 84.5 @1440p Ultra x2 AA Extreme Tesselation. Pretty pleased to be able to high-ultra @1440p 75Hz on most titles.
@@719gt4 I'm actually at +200 core and +350 mem cause 400 seemed to be a bit unstable after longer tests. Prior to overclocking I wasn't hitting a stable and steady 75 fps. It would be good for 60, but to get higher on AA games on high-ultra I needed to overclock. Basically, I have performance comparable to a stock gtx 1080, which is amazing.
Nice video. Previously I had a 1060 6gb +120/+500oc, but now I upgraded to the 1070ti titanium (+100/+300atm) so its nice to have some general reference with the same card model. I also watched your Boost 3.0 video and congrats. Both videos are great and very well explained.
i have the MSI GAMING of this card and i did +160 and +350 mem .. temps are low 70's, but i didn't try higher just to be safe. i noticed 6 to 8 increase in fps in games which is nice, thanks for the great video.
Thank you for the very well done guide! I'll try to test and push it some more but I've been able to achieve a stable +200 core and + 475 memory on my 1070 TI Palit Dual and I'm very happy about the performance and temperatures! Getting a 102% (UFO) gaming result on gpu.userbenchmarks is really satisfying!
I am an experienced overclocker. Im just scouting videos to see where this card lands "on average" as far as clock offset and mem. I noticed in your video, using MSI afterburner with a "non MSI card" the core voltage offset is not an option for you. In settings there is a option under (general) tab for unlocking the voltage feature with "third party" cards. just gives a little disclaimer because its not an MSI card/ that says; were not responsible warning... hitting (ok) software restarts and good to GO! All other overclocking software seems a tad buggy for a graphics card veteran. MSI afterburner never let me down once.
@@anisinfo4910 I'm not sure what you are saying. But how do you go beyond manufacturer levels? The overclocking software. Whichever one works for you has a limit of 120% and 130% on pascal architecture. This is a limit from the manufacturer. Because Nvidia supports over clocking all the same with third party card manufacturers. However there is something called GPU boost 3.0 which will under volt and under clock if temperature is not ideal (below 65c) which is another wall that protects the card. You cannot void a warranty. Because the cards will save themselves before you can do damage. Master slave bios cards (ftw 2) by evga and some premium over clocking cards. Are designed for overclockers in mind. And give you many more fine tune options. Mostly tailored for LN2 or water cooling. So hope this is helpful and your comment was merely lake of knowledge on your part. Do a simple Google search please next time and take the time to go to some faq per manufacturer websites and read before you comment.
Yeah, It "hidden" in the video. I think I talked about it in the written article more. I will make sure to explain in detail for the RTX 2080 OC guide. Thanks!
Undervolted my blower style MSI Aero 1070TI to 950mv at a steady 1898 Mhz Core Clock and +700 Mhz on the memory. Fan Curve set to 100% at 75 °C and temperatures around 77-82° C with no case fans and in the lower PCI-E slot just 5cm above the case bottom. Ambient temperature 20-22 °C. Unigine Extreme Benchmark Score at 2560x1080 was 2028. Undervolting proved to be more stable than just OC'ing the card.
I went 190 for the core clock MHz and 500 for the Memory clock MHz since I have the same nvidia card just made by zotac and a mini, appreciate the video man!! Would never have even considered overclocking my gpu without your help! xD
@@MrKaleidoscope It played out well for a bit homie, sorry for the late reply lol, it' was working out till my pc started randomly shutting down and restarting during games, checked everything, cables and all, clean whipe and all but still the same issue, narrowed it down to my gpu and possibly my psu going out lol just don't push the power to far past, for a bit after I actually underclocked my gpu cause of my new issue then now just recently un-underclocked it so it's just normal now and things have been eh so far lol
@@BakedNoodles My did the same with that clock. at like 115, and 70 on the memory is the only stable version I got on mine( for long time runnings) I did that speed for two years almost. I just bought a 3070ti tho lol.
@@BakedNoodles did you check temps? mini card is kinda shit when it comes to cooling and pc shutting off during games is common if pc reaches critical temps
@@1738-l1j Yee temps are all good when gaming it just shuts off and restarts when trying to play any game now. I narrowed it down to a hardware issue unfortunately so I'm just gonna have to build a new one.
Only indirectly. More Power draw and more heat (aka hot air dumping into the case). If your power supply is weak on the 12v rail, it can affect a steady 12v line since both the CPU and GPU use it. However I would say generally it does not affect the CPU when overclocked.
I got mine up to 180+ CC and 500+ Memory. It's pretty standard for these cards. 98.4% stable overclock on 3D mark stress test software after testing with Valley unigine software. However, I was playing destiny 2 yesterday and after 3 hours I got a driver crash or something like that. Idk if I should decrease the clocks or keep and test if I get another crash.
GREAT video, thanks a lot. Question for you...you had this hooked up to a different system, but what about those of us who are doing it on our main system? For crashes...I'm afraid to push too high lest my video crash and I can't see what I'm doing to undo whatever setting made it crash...does it revert automatically or something? Yours seemed to...
The only reason I did it on a different computer was to show what happens when it crashes. It does recover most of the time in Windows 10 within 20-30 seconds. Once the screen goes back (I also had no video). If it came back, I would quickly reset to defaults.
I have an MSI Aero GTX 1070ti, I got a +200 Core Clock +550 Memory Clock boost that was stable. This guide helped a lot to make sure i didnt burn my shit out
Hello! This might be late but I have the same graphic card as you! My question is how is this overclock hold up til now? Also, what was your power supply wattage and the fan speed of yours? Thanks
I got +155(2012mhz)/+450(4455mhz) and 63 ºC, Gtx 1070ti Manli with triple cooler. Heaven benchmark settings are: API-directX 11, quality-ultra, tessellation-extreme, stereo 3D-disabled, multi-monitor-disabled, anti-aliasing-x8 and resolution-system. Is it good? I tried higher numbers but Heavens benchmark crash (not computer crash)???
Hey man, needed some answers if you don't mind. I'm running at Gigabyte 1070Ti Gaming, and using MSI Afterburner to OC. So far I've only upped my power/temp limit, but now I'm interested in upping my core/mem clocks. 1) Any reason I can't raise my power limit to 133%? I'm locked to 120%. Also, is there any reason to go to 133% as opposed to 120%? 2) Card is supposed to be good for overclocking, however, I can only reach +125mhz core, and +500mhz mem. It seems that anything beyond that crashes Unigine Benchmark after a few minutes. I've noticed that +125mhz has caused me to stutter a bit, so I'm just setting it to core to +100mhz for now, but I can't say for sure if that's the overclock. Any ideas? 3) How worth is overclocking anyways?
Sure I'll try to help 1:) Your card is limited to 120% power target limit because that what Gigabyted set it at. The MSI card I used in the video is 133%. Basically your card can't draw more than 217 Watts, where as that MSI card has a 240 Watt limit. Higher Power draw means you could avoid power throttling, though I don't think the 1070 Ti has that problem compared to the bigger dies that draw more power. 2:) Every Silicon die is different. Luck of the draw really. Usually Boost 3.0 puts the card in the 1900 Mhz range. Most cards will top out at 2000 Mhz. Not missing much if you 1950 is your limit. 3:) It can be worth it on the memory at least. You will gain 5-10 FPS just from a basic overclock. (Game dependent). So is that extra fps worth it to you or not?
@@overclockersclub Ah alright. I knew that OC potential is basically luck, but I wanted to ask because maybe I was doing something wrong. Unfortunate since my previous 1050Ti OC'd far better. Didn't know about power limit though. It isn't a big deal, but more is always better. Don't really mind my current fps. Thanks a lot for the video! Very helpful for people like me.
@@Kyozaf Super late indeed. I'm not overclocking anymore. The most I've done to my card in years is max out the power limit and the temp limit. Nothing else other than that.
@@rubbun welp its understandable, im not good at this, i cant imagine needing to do stress tests for hours just to get 5% boost. Ive never thought overclocking can be this complicated to me lol
ROG gtx 1070 ti should be 200 core clock and 450 memory clock, this is atleast what works best for me, and i have been using it for a couple of weeks now.
Hey. I've got Asus Strix 1070ti and i cant pass 125 core clock, that's max what i can reach, at 130 i'm getting crush in apex/witcher 3. Memory clock 500. I've never even seen artifacts yet, just benchmark or games close. Any idea what is the reason of that ? It doesnt matter if I increse voltage or not :(
Hey @OverclockersClub, I was wondering, if i just keep the clock at 220mhz/500. Will it keep running at that speed constantly even when im browsing the internet, or specifically when it needs to? Cause i was worried that my hardware might wear out faster if it keeps at a constant overclocking speed even when idle.
The overclock just adds to the Boost Clock. It will idle like normal. You can check this by having GPU-Z or Afterburner open and browse the web, you will see it is not running at full speed.
I plan on getting the exact card in a couple of weeks, so i was happy to have stumbled across this video! Are you running on intel? If so, any other tips...my build is almost complete. Intel i7 8700 3.2ghz with msi 370x pro carbon.
I'm a little dubious about results. On my 1070Ti Asus Cerberus card I was able to get a stable, no artifacts +225 MHz core clock and +750 MHz memory clock. Does this seem plausible to you? When running benchmarks the stock card had 130.1 fps average and when OC it was 144.4 fps
Eh 225+ isn't unheard of. That would put the card within the 2100 range which is doable. Memory is a bit higher than most cards. Though I ran 700 for a bit and only had a crash after long gaming sessions. Looks like you got a good card!
Increase the voltage is different than say AMD. if you move the slider, it will "allow" up to that voltage, but if the card has already hit the power limit or other things like temperature it will not change. Only time I saw the voltage move is with a waterblock or a cold start. I believe the voltage limit is 1.068 and normally the card reaches 1.048. Might help in the final tweaks, but I have it alone because It doesn't benefit me. It also doesn't really hurt anything.
nice guide, but couldn't you have gotten a better oc raising voltage? is this not safe? i'm new to oc and just tried your settings on my asus strix 1070ti and get about 10 fps more than stock settings and max temp 65C.
Its a topic of discussion that at lot of people have different answers. Really raising the OC voltage will not harm the card. Nvidia built-in voltage limit is 1.093v (from 1.064v) stop anyone who doesn't hard mod the card to go above this voltage. Personally I found going above stock voltage (1.064v) just created more heat and my maximum core OC was the same, but actually was lower in the long run (longer periods of gaming) due to extra heat created by the increased voltage. I do not recommend increasing the voltage because the 1-3fps that you "may" get from a higher core clock is usually just wasted outside of benchmark runs.
Awesome video really appreciate it, one question being new at overclocking. Do I have to overclock gpu to max to get better quality or can i overclock it a little under what max would be? I have the same MSI 1070ti titanium. Thanks again for the video.
No you don't have to max out the card. Only you get within the 95% it makes little difference besides benchmarks. Whats 1-2 fps worth in difference for an extra 30 watts of heat or 100% fan speed ya know. Personally I just overclock to the max to see what the card can do, benchmark it, than lower it to the games I'm playing. So If I'm only playing games that I already get 100+ fps in, I may just leave it at stock. Like I love playing Battlefield 4. its a dated game (by the gaming world standards) but with stock settings I get over 200fps on the low end @ 1440P. My Acer Predator monitor can only do 165, so I don't see a reason to overclock. Its really game dependent.
My results: ZOTAC 1070 ti Mini MSI Afterburner: Voltage +100, Power +120, Temp = 92 Core Clock +185, Memory Clock +475 Stable for 20+ Minutes in Heaven Benchmark Extreme preset. Further stress testing planned.
@@jackbeames7643 I personally would try for more. With GPUs, just like with CPUs, there's some randomness to the 'silicon lottery' and how well individual GPUs will perform, they are only guaranteed to work with the specs they are sold with. There are safeguards built into the drivers and bios of the video card to protect itself from physical damage, usually but lowering the clock rate, so even if you have the clock rate set to +150, it may not stay there after a few minutes of running a benchmark and the card warms up. Increasing the voltage will increase it's stability at higher clock rates, but also generates more heat. Higher voltages will increase heat even if you don't increase the clock rate, and may trigger the video card's safety measures to slow down the clock rate earlier. Just find the voltage and clock rate that give you the best sustained and stable result. Don't just increase the clock rate and then increase the voltage to make it stable. The increased voltage may cause the card to heat up more and give you a lower resulting clock rate after it's been running for a few minutes.
Muhammad Ali Abdurrahman it’s stable in all games. Only thing is I have i5 8400 and when my gpu was oc my cpu was bottlenecked as my gpu was so fast but that was only on six siege as it’s quite cpu intensive
Thanks for the great guide! A question though, what would you consider safe GPU temperatures. I can tell you have a great cooling system as it hardly went above 45 or so C, but my system isn't nearly as well built yet and I'm getting 82C or so with the same settings. Should I temper it down a bit for longevity?
Honestly 80c~ is fine if you are just gaming a few hours a day. Reference NVIDIA cards are designed to sit at 80-84c. That does not mean that is a good thing, but if NVIDIA thinks its reference cards are worthy of 84c than any card should be. That is not to say heat isn't a factor to components life-span, it very much is, but the card may be irrelevant by the time it dies. I still have a GTX 280 that has been overclocked for years. Still going strong.
Just ordered the EVGA GTX 1070 Ti SC Hydrid water cooled. I will come back and let you guys know how the water cooled max OC did. Cant wait. I love to OC both GPU and CPUs! Its that mad scientist feeling you get and the benchmarks always love getting new hardware! I"ll Be Back!
Nice, thank you for the good Guide! It seems I got pretty lucky with my card: I could achieve +190 MHz Core and incredibly high +700 MHz for the Memory =) UPDATE: I tested now for some hours and +180/+650 MHz seems to be a stable configuration for me. My setup: MSI 1070 Ti Armor with Samsung Memory, Power Limit @120%/92°C, 74°C at full load (90% fan speed, 24°C room temp.) -> I think this is still OK while playing with headphones UPDATE: Luckily the weather got better today and I was able to test it under worst case conditions with 27°C room temp and the GPU went to 77°C under full load, which is totally OK. Unigine Heaven Benchmark @Extreme (1600x900): 145,3 FPS Avg (16,1 % more than stock), min 36,9 FPS, max 309,6 FPS, Score 3660 MB MSI Z370 Gaming Plus i7-8700k @ stock (shouldn't be a bottleneck ;) ) Fractal Design Meshify C Case with 3x140mm and 2x120mm fans for high airflow
I hear that more often, but that only seems to be for the 1080 and 1080ti. This cooler was made for the 1070 series and my 1070 ti does about the same. I have it oc'd to +150/400 but I dont get over 74 celcius. For these series the fans seem to be more then capable
i managed to get my MSI Gaming X to +215 core clock and + 390 on the memory i haven't got any crashes but some animations don't play in some games should i lower the speeds?
depends what your using to overclock your gpu but yes after you do that save it and you should find a autostart settings or something like if you want to always have it activated for example on gpu tweak III its called start with windows. but i would recommend only using the overclock if the game fps is a bit low, so lets say for example minecraft is running at a steady 60-70 fps so no need to overclock but on some other game which is a little demanding on hardware like red dead redemtion and you get 40 fps then you can open afterburn and make sure the overclock profile is enabled
That's why you stress test. No OC can be seemed stable until it's withstood a big stress test. I generally find a clock that seems stable at a glance then run it for 4 hours and come back. If all good I run it again for 12 - 15 hours and assess performance. If it can survive such environments then there are little regular gaming applications can do to push them.
Yea the 1 I have is around 180 Core, 480 Memory with no voltage settings and the difference is pretty solid. Large increase in some games, smallish in others. Seems it can go up to 185 core with 485 memory but some games, it's slightly unstable.
Hi, quick question about the program. I have a 1070ti and under voltage on the right side, it says I have 0 mV. Is that a glitch in the program? Or is there something wrong with the graphics card? The GPU seems to run fine.
That's normal by default for some cards. It just means either you have a outdated version of Afterburner (unlikely) or voltage monitoring is not enabled in the settings of the program.
The curve is a lot harder to use for beginners. Even someone who overclocks all the time, it a pain to use the curve for that extra 5mhz. Unless you are trying to set a record, it really isn't worth the time it takes. However as per a few requests i made a video that covers the curve.
I have a MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, the same as you, but i still get alot higher temps even without overclocking it. The graphics card is brand new, and there's no dust. The airflow through the case is good, i even tried to set it to max, no change. Why?
Its going to be different for every person. My setup was an open case for the most part as my computer is part of my desk. Plus my basement is much cooler. Montana winters are brutal. It was -20f around the time I shoot that video. Now its late summer / early fall. What case do you have?
@@overclockersclub yea I understand. I live in sweden, and its about 24 celcius in my room, my case is called "Fractal Design Define S" the temp goes up towards 82 degrees celcius when im playing bf1 without oc. Thanks for the quick response!
Hmm.. Well if I remember correctly the card did run around 80c with a heavy overclock +200 Core / 500+ Mem while mining. Fans always was running 80% over above. I feel 82c is a little high for that card because of how "beefy" the heatsink is. However the GPU is safe up to 92c and 82c is just fine, it won't hurt the card at all. Just means your overclock may be overall lower because of how Boost 3.0 works.
Hey There, i've tested on uningene ultra, extreme, x8 and full screen 2k (about 2k resolution, its bcoz i have a 2k monitor and used to play on 2k dunno if i did wrong here) My graphic card is a Asus rog strix gaming gtx 1070ti a8g anything over Core Clock 200 / Memory Clock 450, insta artifacts, interruptions and no signal (tested from low to high and separately as ur video) on 190 / 400 was working great for around 7min.. i was glad but uningene shut down RIP same goes for 180 / 350 after 12min it shut down Core clock 180 / Memory Clock 320 it was fine atleast for around 20min then i close test. In the end i've set it for 170 / 300 (2050 / 4303) just in case lol. didnt moved fan bcoz i guess it was fine ( never pass 65 degress ) I wonder if the test on 2k resolution was a good choice? and if i would test in 1080p could get a better overclock result? Thanks for ur video and forum guide!
Yes test at the highest resolution you can. High FPS count isn't the goal. Only to stress the video card. Since Heaven isn't a new benchmark by todays standards you also need to run at the highest you can to get a good load on the video card. Otherwise when you play your actual games, those "stable" overclocks aren't so stable anymore.
Hey man! I just purchased a GTX 1070ti ROG STRIX from ASUS. Is there a different software I have to use to overclock that? I’m looking to bump it up a good 15%-20%
how is his Temp and fan speed so low? I can get about the same overclock but the temp is at 86C and fan speed at 90% (I also have a custom edition with two fans). I cannot really use the gpu like this, since the fan noise is unbearably high
Hello, I have Palit and I am using Thundermaster, everythig seems to me clear, but under nemory offset option there is also "GPU Over Voltage" (maximum is 100%) Do you think I can raise it ? is it safe ? or dont touch it ? I know i can use Afterburner, but this GPU overvoltage option interests me.
The voltage slider doesn't actually raise the voltage. Instead it allows for more voltage is necessary. It is 100% safe because NVIDIA has safeties in the video card. You CANNOT overvolt to unsafe limits without physically modding the card or flashing to the BIOS to a special one. Also you can use MSI Afterburner, it works with all cards. Palit just made its own overclocking software called ThunderMaster.
when your settings to core and mem clock work without crashing, u dont need to touch anything else, i think. just be sure to test long enough and take a look at temperatures. Then adjust fan curve, if needed.
Bit late to the party but i finally decide to OC mine, it's the asus strix though. 200/440 stable, which is weird, the core seems good but the memory won't go higher.
You can have both installed, Just make sure only one is running at a time. I don't know which one will overwrite the other, but it might be confusing to find your settings are not being applied. You do not have to use the MSI Afterburner, I use it because I found it to be the most user friendly. All the these companies have their own software that does the same thing.
Good to know! I gave this card to my nephew without testing his limit, now I can do it soon with him :) Edit: Unigine Heaven 4.0 1080p Ultra: 99.4/2504 Stock and 110.2/2776 with your specs, awesome results!
@@Jehosaphet Not a problem, just remember though it is just a guide, silicon lottery and all that, you could be able to do better or those settings might not even work for you and may just need a little teak, just have a play around from those settings :)
@@franticskunk2461 hi i have a1070ti cerberus to with hpz440 workstation , do u think is safe to overclock it without a gpu cooler , i tried with 190core and 400 memory it didnt crash or anything but i dont know if its safe since it doesnt have an extra cooler , how much degree C do u think is safe
Depends on the card because all the coolers/heatsinks are different. I would just leave the fan on auto and set it so the fan ramps up to 100% @ 80c for an aggressive type fan profile.
On the core clock is it ok to use the curve (outset from testing it from the program and letting it pick) or should i use it like the way you did it and slowly raise it would i get more performance if i did that way or is it about the same? And also i did cinebench to see what i could get on my cpu and it goes to 96-100 degrees C is that bad should i get a better cooler i have a stock intel cooler and its a i7-7700
From the little information I know, I know I have read that for long term use/overclocking it's best to keep the temp of the cpu below 80c. Though your cpu can handle those temps seeing as it didn't overheat, it might not fare well in longer gaming sessions. Good luck, take what I say with a grain of salt I've only built one PC and just now getting into overclocking, good luck.
jasd ferf yeah I know it’s bad for it but I didn’t know how bad it’s not overclocked as it’s not a k processor but every time I play games it goes to 92-100 degrees so I didn’t know if i needed a better cooler cause I’ve heard the intel stock is a temporary one use for just a few months then you have to replace it this pc has had it for almost 2 years and I was wondering if a better cooler would help get it to normal temps

@@daredevildare3641 not sure if your comments here are still relevant, but it sounds like a thermal paste reapplication could help you a lot, as it is likely that the current paste has dried up. Look up how to remove/install intel stock cooler and how to apply new thermal paste on youtube its a very simple process
Rob Bomford yeah I have since replaced the stock cooler with a dark rock 4 and now I get a max of 75 C on 100% load but I still get 100% CPU usage and only like 20-40% gpu usage on all games and if I use Vulcan on rainbow six siege I only get 2% gpu usage I have tried underclocking and overclocking the gpu and there is no difference
How should i used the default or old setting if i wont be needing the OC settings,like if im only using the pc for normal surfing?should i save a default profile and and overclock profile?im new to this stuff and im thinking only to use OC if using my pc in gaminng and default for normal use.thanks a lot!
Hi guys my 1070 in Afterburner runs only on 840mV how to change voltage? I tried automatic OC and it produced memory/voltage curve and during that it was changing voltage up to 1093mV and runs even on 2070mhz but now whatever I do, voltage is still 840mV. I can't go higher than +-1800 because it crashing. What to do please? Edit: I have enabled voltage, it just still sitting on 840
Guys, I was testing in a wrong way. Everything is working, voltage and core clock. Problem is that in stress tests it wont go to max overclock, in games its working.
manged to get +200cc/+350mc with my gigabyte 1070ti. im new to overclocking, is that good? should i lower the core clock and increase memory clock more? or vise versa?
That is within the range everyone else gets! You can certainly play with Core vs Memory. It depends on the game really if it will benefit more than the other.
i got mine with 60+voltage power and temp to maximum +200 on core and + 450 memory and fans at 80%. I have an msi gpu and with this settings it reaches 2.1ghz on core and it never crashed once. I tested for many hours and in alot of games and it never crashed. Its like a 20+fps boost on all games. Ofc i dont oc in competitive games like csgo cos i already get 500 fps there so there is no point but on other games like far cry 5, ac origins or the witcher 3 the difference is there and i can feel it since i play on 144hz and i reach 144fps with this overclock. In ac origins i stay on 100 fps in cities and crowded places and above 130 when im in the desert.
i had to do alot of testing and i ended up with 150 core and 500 on memory. if any higher on the core modern warfare starts to show weird graphic glitches but if i had 500 on the memory and like 55 on the core it would do the glitch. im guessing having it to low bottlenecked something? but 150 seems to be the sweet sport
Artifacts are generally memory related. Usually once it heats up small errors start to become big ones. You might be better off at 450+. Depends on the brand but you will see a rang from 400-700+ for the memory. PCB signal integrity also plays a role in memory overclocking.
1070 ti MINI ZOTAC 500 mem 200 core micron memories Good or bad? Best possible for my chip. No artefacts and tottaly stable, good results but cant go any higher whitout crashs and artefacts.

Thx for the tutorial, managed to get +225 on Core Clock and +750 on Memory Clock for my 1070ti Asus Rog Strix.
Your videos helped me out a lot I've been using MSI Kombuster before this video and I was never able to get a steady overlock when running any games. When I switched to Heaven Benchmark and it overclocked crashed correctly, I finally could fine-tune overlock my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB Founders Edition with an Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV. My final and perfect overclock without crashing, gaming 8 hours straight on any high-demand game (tried and tested):
**Core Voltage:* 100%, Reference Design
**Power Limit:* 120%
**Temp Limit:* 92%
**Core Clock:* (Base 1607) + 202 = (Average 2101 MHz, Peak 2126 MHz)
**Memory Clock:* (Base 4007) + 568 = (Boosted to 4568 MHz)
**Fan Speed:* User Defined + Auto
**Fan Curve: (% - °C)* 40-40, 60-80, 84-88, 90-100
All is right after 1 month?
@@waxzy190Yep, so far no problems and never needed to readjust my settings. I checked my temps regularly and doesn't overheat.

Memory clock: +575
With a custom fan speed curve at about 80% fan speed at 75 degrees and 100% at 85 degrees. The GPU seems to be stable at these settings. I was able to pull off 15783 points in Heaven Benchmark 4.0 on 1080p Extreme settings. Hope this helps.
Are you bulgarian
@@vagatronics Yeah.
are they safe oc parameters? or do we put the card at risk?
@@ogonfer Hi, it's good that you perform series of burn-in tests after the overclocking in order to monitor the stability and temperature of the card. I used Heaven Benchmark 4 and Passmark Burnin Test. If you run the heavy tests for 20 minutes without having the card exceed 75-80 degrees then it is all good. Anyway I believe that even if the card goes too hot it automatically reduces the clock speeds in order to drop down the temperatures. So all in all I belive that, yes, it is a safe thing to do epecially if you perform the stabiltiy and temperature tests after the overclocking.
GTX 1070 Ti; +210 Core Clock/ +600 Memory Clock. Lovely results. Thanks for the guide.
With that 210 core clock did you boost voltage?
good qeustion@@gregman8320
Achieved +200/+750 stable. Pretty happy with the results! Went from a 6618 score on the 3DMark Timespy benchmark to 7414!
Thank you for the video. You made the overclocking very easy. I was able to get stable Core +200 and Memory +500 with around 67C Temps. Great work!
Hi pal. I Overclocked before see your video. MSI 1070TI Titanium, I Use MSI Afterburner with this settings (hours and hours of test, was a long day!): Core voltage:+15 / Power Limit:133 / Temp Limit: 92 / Core Clock +190 / Memory Clock +504 / Fan speed personalized (40% at 40°C and rise at 100% at 57°C) - The max temp was 61° with FPS Min 86,58 and Máx 156,18 with 98% Use of CPU. My Score at 1080P Medium Was 16012 in Superpotition Benchmark (without OC was 14138 points, 81FPSMin y 142Max). I hope this numbers be useful for others. Thanks for the video. Gretings from Argentina
I know this is an older video at this point, but I have an asus rog strix 1070ti advanced edition and the thermal compound on it was complete dogshit and was cement after like 9 months of running at stock and just using it for gaming. Replaced the thermal paste with arctic silver 5 and got my temps in furmark down from 88c to 65c. So seems like it needed a new thermal paste application. If your card is running hot you aren't going to be able to squeeze as much performance out of your card. If you card is out of warranty I'd say do it because it's not like it really matters at that point.
(edit) If anyone is wondering I got +225 on the core and +300 on my memory. I would recommend this card if you can get it for around 300 usd used on ebay or something.
Card is the Asus ROG Strix 1070ti Advanced Edition. Make sure to get the advanced edition because those ones are binned.
Your post made me go down 15°c so, thanks :D
Great guide, easy to follow. thanks!! Managed +160 to core and +700 to memory. Shame the core can't be pushed a bit higher.
thanks a lot for the guide
boosted my memory clock to 700 and core clock to 220 and they are both stable
did benchmarks and game tests
much appreciated
This is a real gamer moment.
First i would like to congratulate you for actually caring about you viewers and responding to comments even after almost a year. Does overclocking damage my pc?
Thanks! We try to keep the community going. Jump on OCC Forums if you want to chat about PCs :).
Anyways if you want to get technical, anything outside the manufacture design can and will damage the components. However this is a very broad statement. For video cards and processors these days it is all about voltage and heat generated. The more voltage it takes to overclock, the more heat is created. Since silicon dies have gotten down to 10-14nm, what wasn't a big deal like microvolts, is a big thing. 0.2mv can be the difference between a video card lasting 10 years or 1 month.
Since NVIDIA video cards have a very locked down voltage range, its pretty hard to near impossible to damage the GPU Silicon without physical mods or official leaked BIOS from Overclocking conventions. But heat does play a role in the lifespan of the Silicon, so more heat mean it it will fail sooner than before. How long? well depends on everything else, but I would say it knocks a few years off the cards life. But in 6-8 years the card won't be able to play the newest games anyways....
If you are mining or folding@home, that is a different story, cards under 24/7 load will live way shorter lives no matter what you do, they aren't designed for that type of environment. Maybe the Silicon will survive, but the constant load and 80c temps will kill everything else first.
Thanks a lot for the guide! Was easy to follow and reproduce.
I got +200/+700 (Samsung) on an Asus GTX 1070 ti Cerberus with temps never breaking 70°C. Went from a 3045 to a 3420 Benchmark score (I5 6500 and still DDR3). That's about a 12% increase just from overclocking the GPU.
Was really surprised about the temperatures. I think the Fans never broke 70% either and I tested the OC both with MSI Afterburner and ASUS GPU TweakII.
Glad you got a good overclock!
What benchmark test u used? Just curious, since im buying the same card
Heaven Benchmark 4.0 like in the video
I used Heaven, but any benchmark that gives you a looping option works. I'm thinking of switching to the Superposition 2017 benchmark for the RTX series.
Very happy to read this. Just installed the very same GPU and was a bit unsure about the overclocking potential.
Thanks for the figures!
1070 Ti FE: Memory clock +600, Core clock +200, Core voltage +50, Boost Lock on at all times, steady gaming at 4K (3840x2160) about a year now at those clock speeds
thats impressive. still going strong?
@@sacraaquila1890 yes very
EVGA 1070 Ti FE here. 173+ Core clock & 550-600 + Memory Clock. FAN SPEED 100% cause i could care less about a bit of noise. Perfectly stable no crashes. My benchmark for the card is about 0.001% i haven't done fine tuning to much.
As a conservative setting, I went with 160 core, 480 memory. I ran at 180/500 comfortably but noticed some lines appearing a bit higher, around 190/550, so I figured dialing it down slightly under what would be comfortable would be ideal. Boosting to max possible settings would only gain a frame or two at most, so what's the point of running right on the edge? MSI 1070ti Armor OC
MSI Duke edition here, managed stable +200/+450, found this comfortable and didn't want to try to go higher as I want some breathing room. Tried +500 on mem but crashed. +200 on core seemed fine, didn't need to try higher, might try going up by +20 increments. Got a heaven avg fps of 84.5 @1440p Ultra x2 AA Extreme Tesselation. Pretty pleased to be able to high-ultra @1440p 75Hz on most titles.
What where your results before overclocking?
@@719gt4 I'm actually at +200 core and +350 mem cause 400 seemed to be a bit unstable after longer tests. Prior to overclocking I wasn't hitting a stable and steady 75 fps. It would be good for 60, but to get higher on AA games on high-ultra I needed to overclock. Basically, I have performance comparable to a stock gtx 1080, which is amazing.
Thanks alot. You made this reqlly easy to understand for me. Not like others video's i just get confused 😊
Awesome!
Nice video. Previously I had a 1060 6gb +120/+500oc, but now I upgraded to the 1070ti titanium (+100/+300atm) so its nice to have some general reference with the same card model. I also watched your Boost 3.0 video and congrats. Both videos are great and very well explained.
Thanks! If you have ideas of things you want to see, let me know!
i have the MSI GAMING of this card and i did +160 and +350 mem .. temps are low 70's, but i didn't try higher just to be safe. i noticed 6 to 8 increase in fps in games which is nice, thanks for the great video.
That seems to be a good number for most people. No point in pushing it further besides for benchmarks.
Thank you for the very well done guide! I'll try to test and push it some more but I've been able to achieve a stable +200 core and + 475 memory on my 1070 TI Palit Dual and I'm very happy about the performance and temperatures! Getting a 102% (UFO) gaming result on gpu.userbenchmarks is really satisfying!
managed to get 230 core clock and 495 mem clock on a asus cerberus and it works really well!
Not working on me with same card
I am an experienced overclocker. Im just scouting videos to see where this card lands "on average" as far as clock offset and mem. I noticed in your video, using MSI afterburner with a "non MSI card" the core voltage offset is not an option for you.
In settings there is a option under (general) tab for unlocking the voltage feature with "third party" cards. just gives a little disclaimer because its not an MSI card/ that says; were not responsible warning... hitting (ok) software restarts and good to GO!
All other overclocking software seems a tad buggy for a graphics card veteran. MSI afterburner never let me down once.
You are telling us to ovoid the warranty to go fo extrta voltage in OC ? of course if no one cares about damaing the GPU ( not PROs)
@@anisinfo4910 I'm not sure what you are saying. But how do you go beyond manufacturer levels? The overclocking software. Whichever one works for you has a limit of 120% and 130% on pascal architecture. This is a limit from the manufacturer. Because Nvidia supports over clocking all the same with third party card manufacturers. However there is something called GPU boost 3.0 which will under volt and under clock if temperature is not ideal (below 65c) which is another wall that protects the card. You cannot void a warranty. Because the cards will save themselves before you can do damage. Master slave bios cards (ftw 2) by evga and some premium over clocking cards. Are designed for overclockers in mind. And give you many more fine tune options. Mostly tailored for LN2 or water cooling. So hope this is helpful and your comment was merely lake of knowledge on your part. Do a simple Google search please next time and take the time to go to some faq per manufacturer websites and read before you comment.
Yeah, It "hidden" in the video. I think I talked about it in the written article more. I will make sure to explain in detail for the RTX 2080 OC guide. Thanks!
Undervolted my blower style MSI Aero 1070TI to 950mv at a steady 1898 Mhz Core Clock and +700 Mhz on the memory. Fan Curve set to 100% at 75 °C and temperatures around 77-82° C with no case fans and in the lower PCI-E slot just 5cm above the case bottom. Ambient temperature 20-22 °C. Unigine Extreme Benchmark Score at 2560x1080 was 2028.
Undervolting proved to be more stable than just OC'ing the card.
Yeah that can happen :)
Got the same card, how did u undervolt it?
Setup a custom curve profile.
Can you make a video about it?
Update: Had to lower the memory overclock to +650 MHz to get it truly stable...
I went 190 for the core clock MHz and 500 for the Memory clock MHz since I have the same nvidia card just made by zotac and a mini, appreciate the video man!! Would never have even considered overclocking my gpu without your help! xD
Thanks for your comment homie, I also have the Zotac card and wondering on this? Can you give an update to how it played out?
@@MrKaleidoscope It played out well for a bit homie, sorry for the late reply lol, it' was working out till my pc started randomly shutting down and restarting during games, checked everything, cables and all, clean whipe and all but still the same issue, narrowed it down to my gpu and possibly my psu going out lol just don't push the power to far past, for a bit after I actually underclocked my gpu cause of my new issue then now just recently un-underclocked it so it's just normal now and things have been eh so far lol

@@BakedNoodles did you check temps? mini card is kinda shit when it comes to cooling and pc shutting off during games is common if pc reaches critical temps
@@1738-l1j Yee temps are all good when gaming it just shuts off and restarts when trying to play any game now. I narrowed it down to a hardware issue unfortunately so I'm just gonna have to build a new one.
Hey man , When overclocking your gpu does it effect your cpu overclock?
Only indirectly. More Power draw and more heat (aka hot air dumping into the case). If your power supply is weak on the 12v rail, it can affect a steady 12v line since both the CPU and GPU use it. However I would say generally it does not affect the CPU when overclocked.
Thanks for the info and getting back to me :)
Thank you for the guide, just got done overclocking mine
I got mine up to 180+ CC and 500+ Memory. It's pretty standard for these cards. 98.4% stable overclock on 3D mark stress test software after testing with Valley unigine software. However, I was playing destiny 2 yesterday and after 3 hours I got a driver crash or something like that. Idk if I should decrease the clocks or keep and test if I get another crash.
Try 155+ on the core. Might yield better results and you won't notice 1fps~ difference.
Thanks, I just went -25 under your safe setting to be super safe and it runs great
GREAT video, thanks a lot. Question for you...you had this hooked up to a different system, but what about those of us who are doing it on our main system? For crashes...I'm afraid to push too high lest my video crash and I can't see what I'm doing to undo whatever setting made it crash...does it revert automatically or something? Yours seemed to...
The only reason I did it on a different computer was to show what happens when it crashes. It does recover most of the time in Windows 10 within 20-30 seconds. Once the screen goes back (I also had no video). If it came back, I would quickly reset to defaults.
I have an MSI Aero GTX 1070ti, I got a +200 Core Clock +550 Memory Clock boost that was stable. This guide helped a lot to make sure i didnt burn my shit out
Hello! This might be late but I have the same graphic card as you! My question is how is this overclock hold up til now? Also, what was your power supply wattage and the fan speed of yours? Thanks
I got +155(2012mhz)/+450(4455mhz) and 63 ºC, Gtx 1070ti Manli with triple cooler.

I tried higher numbers but Heavens benchmark crash (not computer crash)???
Straight to the point, good video!
My EVGA 1070 ti overclocks all the way up to +220MHz on core and +650MHz on memory. I couldn't ask for more!
Hey man, needed some answers if you don't mind.
I'm running at Gigabyte 1070Ti Gaming, and using MSI Afterburner to OC. So far I've only upped my power/temp limit, but now I'm interested in upping my core/mem clocks.
1) Any reason I can't raise my power limit to 133%? I'm locked to 120%. Also, is there any reason to go to 133% as opposed to 120%?
2) Card is supposed to be good for overclocking, however, I can only reach +125mhz core, and +500mhz mem. It seems that anything beyond that crashes Unigine Benchmark after a few minutes. I've noticed that +125mhz has caused me to stutter a bit, so I'm just setting it to core to +100mhz for now, but I can't say for sure if that's the overclock. Any ideas?
3) How worth is overclocking anyways?
Sure I'll try to help
1:) Your card is limited to 120% power target limit because that what Gigabyted set it at. The MSI card I used in the video is 133%. Basically your card can't draw more than 217 Watts, where as that MSI card has a 240 Watt limit. Higher Power draw means you could avoid power throttling, though I don't think the 1070 Ti has that problem compared to the bigger dies that draw more power.
2:) Every Silicon die is different. Luck of the draw really. Usually Boost 3.0 puts the card in the 1900 Mhz range. Most cards will top out at 2000 Mhz. Not missing much if you 1950 is your limit.
3:) It can be worth it on the memory at least. You will gain 5-10 FPS just from a basic overclock. (Game dependent). So is that extra fps worth it to you or not?
@@overclockersclub Ah alright. I knew that OC potential is basically luck, but I wanted to ask because maybe I was doing something wrong. Unfortunate since my previous 1050Ti OC'd far better. Didn't know about power limit though.
It isn't a big deal, but more is always better. Don't really mind my current fps.
Thanks a lot for the video! Very helpful for people like me.
@@rubbun super late comment but i have the same card like you, are you still overclocking it and if so whats your core and mem clock?
@@Kyozaf Super late indeed. I'm not overclocking anymore. The most I've done to my card in years is max out the power limit and the temp limit. Nothing else other than that.

this is atleast what works best for me, and i have been using it for a couple of weeks now.
sustained freq and temp?
Hey.
I've got Asus Strix 1070ti and i cant pass 125 core clock, that's max what i can reach, at 130 i'm getting crush in apex/witcher 3. Memory clock 500. I've never even seen artifacts yet, just benchmark or games close. Any idea what is the reason of that ? It doesnt matter if I increse voltage or not :(
Hyon1234 Hyon it’s a game of luck, sometimes you’ll get lucky and get a card that can get really high ocs, but sometimes it’s just not as good.
Hey @OverclockersClub, I was wondering, if i just keep the clock at 220mhz/500. Will it keep running at that speed constantly even when im browsing the internet, or specifically when it needs to? Cause i was worried that my hardware might wear out faster if it keeps at a constant overclocking speed even when idle.
The overclock just adds to the Boost Clock. It will idle like normal. You can check this by having GPU-Z or Afterburner open and browse the web, you will see it is not running at full speed.
@@overclockersclub That's awesome, thank you for the swift reply!
best oc video ever
I plan on getting the exact card in a couple of weeks, so i was happy to have stumbled across this video! Are you running on intel? If so, any other tips...my build is almost complete. Intel i7 8700 3.2ghz with msi 370x pro carbon.
Only tip I have is the sweet spot for memory is 3200@CL14. Best bang for the buck for performance. Besides that enjoy the new computer!
I'm a little dubious about results. On my 1070Ti Asus Cerberus card I was able to get a stable, no artifacts +225 MHz core clock and +750 MHz memory clock. Does this seem plausible to you? When running benchmarks the stock card had 130.1 fps average and when OC it was 144.4 fps
Eh 225+ isn't unheard of. That would put the card within the 2100 range which is doable. Memory is a bit higher than most cards. Though I ran 700 for a bit and only had a crash after long gaming sessions. Looks like you got a good card!
Galax/KFA2 1070Ti EX:
+125 core clock (~2025 MHz)
+399 mem clock (4404 MHz)
Undervolted to 0.975 V @ 2025 MHz
~73°C under load (1440p)
same gpu 2038 at 57C max temp
Sorry, also...would you ever do anything with voltage? After having successfully made the other adjustments to core and memory?
Increase the voltage is different than say AMD. if you move the slider, it will "allow" up to that voltage, but if the card has already hit the power limit or other things like temperature it will not change. Only time I saw the voltage move is with a waterblock or a cold start. I believe the voltage limit is 1.068 and normally the card reaches 1.048. Might help in the final tweaks, but I have it alone because It doesn't benefit me. It also doesn't really hurt anything.
nice guide, but couldn't you have gotten a better oc raising voltage? is this not safe? i'm new to oc and just tried your settings on my asus strix 1070ti and get about 10 fps more than stock settings and max temp 65C.
Its a topic of discussion that at lot of people have different answers. Really raising the OC voltage will not harm the card. Nvidia built-in voltage limit is 1.093v (from 1.064v) stop anyone who doesn't hard mod the card to go above this voltage. Personally I found going above stock voltage (1.064v) just created more heat and my maximum core OC was the same, but actually was lower in the long run (longer periods of gaming) due to extra heat created by the increased voltage. I do not recommend increasing the voltage because the 1-3fps that you "may" get from a higher core clock is usually just wasted outside of benchmark runs.
Is it okay to overclock like this for long gaming hours ?
best overclock guide
Awesome video really appreciate it, one question being new at overclocking. Do I have to overclock gpu to max to get better quality or can i overclock it a little under what max would be? I have the same MSI 1070ti titanium. Thanks again for the video.
No you don't have to max out the card. Only you get within the 95% it makes little difference besides benchmarks. Whats 1-2 fps worth in difference for an extra 30 watts of heat or 100% fan speed ya know.
Personally I just overclock to the max to see what the card can do, benchmark it, than lower it to the games I'm playing. So If I'm only playing games that I already get 100+ fps in, I may just leave it at stock. Like I love playing Battlefield 4. its a dated game (by the gaming world standards) but with stock settings I get over 200fps on the low end @ 1440P. My Acer Predator monitor can only do 165, so I don't see a reason to overclock. Its really game dependent.
@@overclockersclub awesome thank you very much keep the good videos coming.

Further stress testing planned.
Same card as you not got core clock 150 and 350 memory should I up it?
@@jackbeames7643 I personally would try for more. With GPUs, just like with CPUs, there's some randomness to the 'silicon lottery' and how well individual GPUs will perform, they are only guaranteed to work with the specs they are sold with. There are safeguards built into the drivers and bios of the video card to protect itself from physical damage, usually but lowering the clock rate, so even if you have the clock rate set to +150, it may not stay there after a few minutes of running a benchmark and the card warms up. Increasing the voltage will increase it's stability at higher clock rates, but also generates more heat. Higher voltages will increase heat even if you don't increase the clock rate, and may trigger the video card's safety measures to slow down the clock rate earlier. Just find the voltage and clock rate that give you the best sustained and stable result. Don't just increase the clock rate and then increase the voltage to make it stable. The increased voltage may cause the card to heat up more and give you a lower resulting clock rate after it's been running for a few minutes.
@@jackbeames7643 hi i got the same card, any update if it was stable in the long run?
Muhammad Ali Abdurrahman it’s stable in all games. Only thing is I have i5 8400 and when my gpu was oc my cpu was bottlenecked as my gpu was so fast but that was only on six siege as it’s quite cpu intensive
I put +225 core clock and +430 mem clock. I think I can boost mem clock a little bit more.

What's your temps?
Thanks for the great guide! A question though, what would you consider safe GPU temperatures. I can tell you have a great cooling system as it hardly went above 45 or so C, but my system isn't nearly as well built yet and I'm getting 82C or so with the same settings. Should I temper it down a bit for longevity?
i thought the 1070 ti was overclocked out of the box .
NVIDIA does not allow AIB partners to ship cards overclocked. All cards start out the same for the 1070Ti. What you are seeing is Boost 3.0 in action.
Honestly 80c~ is fine if you are just gaming a few hours a day. Reference NVIDIA cards are designed to sit at 80-84c. That does not mean that is a good thing, but if NVIDIA thinks its reference cards are worthy of 84c than any card should be. That is not to say heat isn't a factor to components life-span, it very much is, but the card may be irrelevant by the time it dies. I still have a GTX 280 that has been overclocked for years. Still going strong.
+240 /+700 smoth took a bit to get right at some point need to try another +5 on base either im lucky or some got screwed
How come my MSI afterburner says 0 voltage and when i boost in the mid it doesnt move on the left panel. Help.

What was your set OC?
Nice, thank you for the good Guide!
It seems I got pretty lucky with my card: I could achieve +190 MHz Core and incredibly high +700 MHz for the Memory =)
UPDATE: I tested now for some hours and +180/+650 MHz seems to be a stable configuration for me.
My setup:
MSI 1070 Ti Armor with Samsung Memory, Power Limit @120%/92°C, 74°C at full load (90% fan speed, 24°C room temp.) -> I think this is still OK while playing with headphones UPDATE: Luckily the weather got better today and I was able to test it under worst case conditions with 27°C room temp and the GPU went to 77°C under full load, which is totally OK.
Unigine Heaven Benchmark @Extreme (1600x900): 145,3 FPS Avg (16,1 % more than stock), min 36,9 FPS, max 309,6 FPS, Score 3660
MB MSI Z370 Gaming Plus
i7-8700k @ stock (shouldn't be a bottleneck ;) )
Fractal Design Meshify C Case with 3x140mm and 2x120mm fans for high airflow
I would say a golden goose! the Armor cards have horrible coolers, you must have really good airflow in that setup.
Glad you got a good overclock!
I hear that more often, but that only seems to be for the 1080 and 1080ti. This cooler was made for the 1070 series and my 1070 ti does about the same. I have it oc'd to +150/400 but I dont get over 74 celcius. For these series the fans seem to be more then capable
You are right. I was thinking of the 1080Ti.
i managed to get my MSI Gaming X to +215 core clock and + 390 on the memory
i haven't got any crashes but some animations don't play in some games should i lower the speeds?
Yes, see if they problem goes away. If not than i may just be the game(s) or current drivers. Try stock, than 190+ instead of 215 for a while.
so what i do after get those numbers setted, save it? , open afterburn everytime i play , how'd you do it,, thank you
depends what your using to overclock your gpu but yes after you do that save it and you should find a autostart settings or something like if you want to always have it activated for example on gpu tweak III its called start with windows. but i would recommend only using the overclock if the game fps is a bit low, so lets say for example minecraft is running at a steady 60-70 fps so no need to overclock but on some other game which is a little demanding on hardware like red dead redemtion and you get 40 fps then you can open afterburn and make sure the overclock profile is enabled
Is it okay to play hours and hours while OC is active? or is there any problems like stressing out the life of the GPU?
That's why you stress test. No OC can be seemed stable until it's withstood a big stress test. I generally find a clock that seems stable at a glance then run it for 4 hours and come back. If all good I run it again for 12 - 15 hours and assess performance. If it can survive such environments then there are little regular gaming applications can do to push them.
MSI GTX 1070 Ti Gaming - +170 core, +450 memory
How’s it run titles?
Yea the 1 I have is around 180 Core, 480 Memory with no voltage settings and the difference is pretty solid. Large increase in some games, smallish in others. Seems it can go up to 185 core with 485 memory but some games, it's slightly unstable.
How many frames do you gain with an overclock like this?
5-10% overall I would say. It will be game and resolution dependent.
Hi, quick question about the program. I have a 1070ti and under voltage on the right side, it says I have 0 mV. Is that a glitch in the program? Or is there something wrong with the graphics card? The GPU seems to run fine.
That's normal by default for some cards. It just means either you have a outdated version of Afterburner (unlikely) or voltage monitoring is not enabled in the settings of the program.
I have 700+ memory and 220+ core clock running at 2075 mhz

@@4EverSuzuki pardon, it was 7733 not 6312 :D
why would u not overclock from the curve u will get a higher oc and why no voltage?
The curve is a lot harder to use for beginners. Even someone who overclocks all the time, it a pain to use the curve for that extra 5mhz. Unless you are trying to set a record, it really isn't worth the time it takes. However as per a few requests i made a video that covers the curve.
I have a MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, the same as you, but i still get alot higher temps even without overclocking it. The graphics card is brand new, and there's no dust. The airflow through the case is good, i even tried to set it to max, no change. Why?
Its going to be different for every person. My setup was an open case for the most part as my computer is part of my desk. Plus my basement is much cooler. Montana winters are brutal. It was -20f around the time I shoot that video. Now its late summer / early fall. What case do you have?
@@overclockersclub yea I understand. I live in sweden, and its about 24 celcius in my room, my case is called "Fractal Design Define S" the temp goes up towards 82 degrees celcius when im playing bf1 without oc. Thanks for the quick response!
Hmm.. Well if I remember correctly the card did run around 80c with a heavy overclock +200 Core / 500+ Mem while mining. Fans always was running 80% over above. I feel 82c is a little high for that card because of how "beefy" the heatsink is. However the GPU is safe up to 92c and 82c is just fine, it won't hurt the card at all. Just means your overclock may be overall lower because of how Boost 3.0 works.
@@overclockersclub so could something be wrong with my gpu cooling?
I wouldn't go that far. 81c is within a normal range.If the card was at 100% fan and 86-90c than yes I would say there is a issue.
Thank you, very good and informative video.
and one always has to have that program going when overclocked? Is there no way to overclock without having a program in the background running?
A overclocking program yes, NVIDIA doesn't have it's own.
Hey There, i've tested on uningene ultra, extreme, x8 and full screen 2k (about 2k resolution, its bcoz i have a 2k monitor and used to play on 2k dunno if i did wrong here)
My graphic card is a Asus rog strix gaming gtx 1070ti a8g
anything over Core Clock 200 / Memory Clock 450, insta artifacts, interruptions and no signal (tested from low to high and separately as ur video)
on 190 / 400 was working great for around 7min.. i was glad but uningene shut down RIP same goes for 180 / 350 after 12min it shut down
Core clock 180 / Memory Clock 320 it was fine atleast for around 20min then i close test.
In the end i've set it for 170 / 300 (2050 / 4303) just in case lol. didnt moved fan bcoz i guess it was fine ( never pass 65 degress )
I wonder if the test on 2k resolution was a good choice? and if i would test in 1080p could get a better overclock result?
Thanks for ur video and forum guide!
Yes test at the highest resolution you can. High FPS count isn't the goal. Only to stress the video card. Since Heaven isn't a new benchmark by todays standards you also need to run at the highest you can to get a good load on the video card. Otherwise when you play your actual games, those "stable" overclocks aren't so stable anymore.
@@overclockersclub got it, thanks for ur quick answer
Hey man! I just purchased a GTX 1070ti ROG STRIX from ASUS. Is there a different software I have to use to overclock that? I’m looking to bump it up a good 15%-20%

Great informative video. Thanks, man.
how is his Temp and fan speed so low? I can get about the same overclock but the temp is at 86C and fan speed at 90% (I also have a custom edition with two fans). I cannot really use the gpu like this, since the fan noise is unbearably high
Hello, I have Palit and I am using Thundermaster, everythig seems to me clear, but under nemory offset option there is also "GPU Over Voltage" (maximum is 100%) Do you think I can raise it ? is it safe ? or dont touch it ? I know i can use Afterburner, but this GPU overvoltage option interests me.
The voltage slider doesn't actually raise the voltage. Instead it allows for more voltage is necessary. It is 100% safe because NVIDIA has safeties in the video card. You CANNOT overvolt to unsafe limits without physically modding the card or flashing to the BIOS to a special one.
Also you can use MSI Afterburner, it works with all cards. Palit just made its own overclocking software called ThunderMaster.

Yea u can udevolt it.The temperature has almost 80 percent of the overclock ability.
when your settings to core and mem clock work without crashing, u dont need to touch anything else, i think.
just be sure to test long enough and take a look at temperatures. Then adjust fan curve, if needed.
Bit late to the party but i finally decide to OC mine, it's the asus strix though. 200/440 stable, which is weird, the core seems good but the memory won't go higher.
Every card is different but 400 to 600 is normal for a 1070 Ti.

Oh i have the same card,, might have to try it.
I only can handle 200/490 in strix advanced
If I have Aorus Graphic engine and MSI afterburner should i uninstall the Aorus engine and OC on msi afterburner instead?
You can have both installed, Just make sure only one is running at a time. I don't know which one will overwrite the other, but it might be confusing to find your settings are not being applied. You do not have to use the MSI Afterburner, I use it because I found it to be the most user friendly. All the these companies have their own software that does the same thing.

How are you getting 65 temp with 37% fan speed? I cranked my fans to 100% and ran the same benchmark on ultra and it ramped up to 71-ish.
At the time of filming I was living in Montana and the winters are very cold. - Isaiah
If i overclock with 20% how much should i higher the fan speed?
Depends on the card because all the coolers/heatsinks are different. I would just leave the fan on auto and set it so the fan ramps up to 100% @ 80c for an aggressive type fan profile.
@@overclockersclub thanks

Gracias, gave me a good starting point for my own.
Jehosaphet I’m at 220 core 650 memory 1070ti cerberus running wel
On the core clock is it ok to use the curve (outset from testing it from the program and letting it pick) or should i use it like the way you did it and slowly raise it would i get more performance if i did that way or is it about the same?
And also i did cinebench to see what i could get on my cpu and it goes to 96-100 degrees C is that bad should i get a better cooler i have a stock intel cooler and its a i7-7700
From the little information I know, I know I have read that for long term use/overclocking it's best to keep the temp of the cpu below 80c. Though your cpu can handle those temps seeing as it didn't overheat, it might not fare well in longer gaming sessions. Good luck, take what I say with a grain of salt I've only built one PC and just now getting into overclocking, good luck.
jasd ferf yeah I know it’s bad for it but I didn’t know how bad it’s not overclocked as it’s not a k processor but every time I play games it goes to 92-100 degrees so I didn’t know if i needed a better cooler cause I’ve heard the intel stock is a temporary one use for just a few months then you have to replace it this pc has had it for almost 2 years and I was wondering if a better cooler would help get it to normal temps

@@daredevildare3641 not sure if your comments here are still relevant, but it sounds like a thermal paste reapplication could help you a lot, as it is likely that the current paste has dried up.

Rob Bomford yeah I have since replaced the stock cooler with a dark rock 4 and now I get a max of 75 C on 100% load but I still get 100% CPU usage and only like 20-40% gpu usage on all games and if I use Vulcan on rainbow six siege I only get 2% gpu usage I have tried underclocking and overclocking the gpu and there is no difference
So no boost on the core voltage?

J SJ yeah make a profile for your normal stuff and a second profile with your overclock valeus
the card will never boost until it is asked to run hard and has the thermal/voltage capacity to boost higher, so you don't need to do anything to it.

+170/+680 score: heaven 3559
manged to get +200cc/+350mc with my gigabyte 1070ti. im new to overclocking, is that good? should i lower the core clock and increase memory clock more? or vise versa?
That is within the range everyone else gets! You can certainly play with Core vs Memory. It depends on the game really if it will benefit more than the other.
i got mine with 60+voltage power and temp to maximum +200 on core and + 450 memory and fans at 80%. I have an msi gpu and with this settings it reaches 2.1ghz on core and it never crashed once. I tested for many hours and in alot of games and it never crashed. Its like a 20+fps boost on all games. Ofc i dont oc in competitive games like csgo cos i already get 500 fps there so there is no point but on other games like far cry 5, ac origins or the witcher 3 the difference is there and i can feel it since i play on 144hz and i reach 144fps with this overclock. In ac origins i stay on 100 fps in cities and crowded places and above 130 when im in the desert.
150 on base clock and 350 memory. Probably get memory more. I have zotac mini so temps where concerning but they stayed at 69•c
Multimedia Room just redid it. I got 600 memory 180 on base. With temps at 69
i had to do alot of testing and i ended up with 150 core and 500 on memory. if any higher on the core modern warfare starts to show weird graphic glitches but if i had 500 on the memory and like 55 on the core it would do the glitch. im guessing having it to low bottlenecked something? but 150 seems to be the sweet sport
Artifacts are generally memory related. Usually once it heats up small errors start to become big ones. You might be better off at 450+. Depends on the brand but you will see a rang from 400-700+ for the memory. PCB signal integrity also plays a role in memory overclocking.
