    Too extreme Overlocked GPU


    I know very well OverClocking is a thing you would need to be extremely careful with etc etc.

    My problem is:
    GTX 1060 6gb
    MSI Shows me:
    4006MHz Mem Speed
    And
    1506MHz Gpu Speed

    While doing not much
    And this is a concern for why my card keeps crashing my games
    The Safe range from out of the box after doing some google searches:

    GPU 1702MHz Gpu Speed
    And
    2002MHz Mem Speed

    This means that my memory is 2x the speed limit it should have out of the box ?
    It stays that way when i start gaming
    But my Gpu i have seen above and beyond 2100Mhz

    I wonder if my overclocking lead to a instable graphics ?

    Checking my EVGA 6GB GTX1060, not overclocked as it works well enough as it is, the PC it's on isn't normally used for gaming however it's currently running a GPU intensive game, just to see what it's doing, In GPUz it's showing.

    GPU Clock at 1987 MHz, default is 1607 Mhz
    Memory clock at 2003.4, the default should be 2002

    On idle it's 139 Mhz GPU and 202.5 Mhz Memory

    4006 MHz seems a a bit too high to me.

    What's GPUz showing? Always an idea to get a second opinion.

    Thank you for confirming that but i can not lower it below 3k on memory

    Edit: It seems Gpu-Z Tracks it at decent safe values at this moment
    MSI Afterburner and Even My motherboards tuner do not allow my memory clock to be forced below 3000 memory speed in MHz

    I wonder if they read the Clock speeds wrong ?
    Or If Gpu-Z Sees something not right ?

    I will do some testing for now with Gpu-z Logging all the speed details
    If i come accross any issues that made me investigate the clock speeds
    I will update this thread or open a new one with more specific details and reason
    Towwards the question at hand For now Thank you very much for your input
