Hey guys,

I have msi gaming gtx 770 , and the temperature is constant at 64-67C  even after I overclocked it by +100 on core clock and +400 memory clock.

I am wondering if I increased the core clock to lets say 400 or 400 and memory clock to 800-1000 or the max I can reach and if the temperature is still below 70C will my gpu catch on fire or something?



My GPU has 85C working for month with +100 core and 400 memory OC, but I have to say its GTX 1070. with better air airflow.

OC the coreclock +250 is not necessary why ? memory clock is important for mining.

Above 90 all GPU sooner or later will catch fire.
85C for GTX 1070 seems a bit much, they can run a lot cooler. AMD cards on the other hand...I just read how a dude has been mining with his R9 cards for over 4 years now, temps around 100C Grin.

Its a EVGA GTX 1070 FTW with 3 years waranty so I dont care so much haha
And it has good cooling.
Steady temperatures also when they are high aren´t so bad. Fluctuation like 60-85 C would be much worse right ? Thats what I heard.

Only with Neoscrypt its 85C
Equihash its 79C

Second GPU is 64C because its cooled from the card above xD

Ohhh, it's an EVGA 1070 FTW Cheesy, that explains it. They run cooler after you apply the "Thermal pad mod" to them. https://www.evga.com/thermalmod/thermal_pad_mod_installation_guide.pdf  Smiley
