— basically i have the GTX 970 Gigabyte MINI-ITX OC so nothing wow i gimped over a 1 year on purpose through bios because the damn thing have the black screen issue randomly in games so why 5 stars? when it works it's a beast but took so much time to fix the issue maybe some others still struggle with this issue i feel the urge to help poor fellows. *undervolt to 1.050v from 1.212v* *set to both core clock and boost clock to 1177.5* * set memory clock to 3061* now if everything it's fixed after few heavy game you can start to overclock LOL *MSI AFTER BURNER i have +100 core clock +940 Memory Clock try lower for memory, i have ASIC 74 AND SAMSUNG MEMORY* *final result: CORE CLOCK 1278mhz without any downclocks ; Memory Clock 8000MHZ ***PS: CHANGE THERMAL PASTE it's a 6 year old graphic card mine went from 74c to 60c with Arctic AC MX-4 so a cheap paste

— + i don't really need OC at load stays at ~ 3.7 on 4 cores and 3.9 on 2 cores max 1.3v I dislike about overclocking the fixed voltage even when cores downclocks idle to 1500mhz but i think i have a good batch because does 4.2 below 1.35v maybe with a high end graphic card and 144hz panel worth
