Title: Overclocking past 1750Mhz on XFX 7970 safe?
Post by: scrap on January 26, 2014, 02:44:01 AM
so im pushing my card to its max, and the memory clock just keeps letting me increse it, no crashes yet im at 1750 and gonna try 1800, but im starting to wonder if its safe?

my temp is sitting at 75C so its not TOO hot.

should i go past 1750?

How's your VRM temps?

You don't need ram that fast to get where you need to go!

ok it started crashing around 1700 now, and i have to set to 1625, testing different core clocks see what i can get out of it.

still seems pretty high, you think my performence will decrese will 1625 memory clock?
