Set up my EVGA 1070 Ti this afternoon (Micron memory

)and adjusted settings to 80% TDP +200 Core +600 memory. Ran fine with about 525-530 sol/s for about 45 mins then artifacted on me on and crashed system as my monitor was hooked up to this. This something I should RMA if it happens again?
You overclocked the crap out of the card and then want to RMA it because it crashes?

EVGA won't be happy about that. Seriously though, overclocking is not only ever guaranteed, but with most manufacturers it actually voids your warranty. Hard to enforce since customers never admit that they did any overclocking and there's no sure way to check whether they did, but still it's there most of the time, in the fine print.
I agree with that. I do heavy underclocking to save electricity.
