I just put a new system together and am trying the overclock utility for the first time.
I'm not sure what is going on with the ASUS utility because it seems to be exceeding my boost clock by quite a bit. Do these values seem ok?

Edit: Trying to get image to work.

Nvidia's current boost is somewhat unpredictable at times as many variable will effect it. My Zotac 1070 Amp has 1797 as stated boost clock but will boost to 19xx depending on load, temps without even overclocking it.

Temp wise it's the auto fan setting. If you want lower temps you'll need to use a custom fan profile.

I'm no fan of the zero fan at idle auto fan configurations. Seems silly to start playing a game with a heat soaked heatsink. I use a fixed fan speed in my OC profile. I just enable my profile and let my gpu/heatsink cool down before I game. When not gaming zero fan is fine.
