Hi guys, I am currently trying out cryptocurrency mining and I am using MSI's Afterburner to manage my GPUs. My initial setup has 2pcs. MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X.
I tried overclocking the two 1070's using Afterburner once by setting the Core Clock to +100Mhz and Memory Clock to +100Mhz (I did not change the Power Limit and the Temp. Limit, both at default value of 100% and 83 degrees Celsius respectively) and it worked real-time with no problems, hash rate went up by around 4%.
I then tried overclocking further adding +500 to both Core Clock and Memory Clock, after that the GPU suddenly "failed" so I reset the clocks to default settings and it worked again.
Finally, I tried overclocking the second time, but this time I put the Power Limit and the Temp. Limit to max setting (126% and 92 degrees Celsius respectively) and then set the Core Clock and Memory Clock to both +150Mhz. again and everything is stable.
I would like to know, will I damage the GPU on that one instance of overclocking and it failed? I never changed the voltage as Afterburner is not allowing me to adjust the voltage. Also, why is the temperature not rising that when overclocking at +150Mhz.?
Also, what is the most stable frequency for Core and Memory Clock for MSI's 1070 Gaming X cards?
Thanks in advance for any replies!
