What is the best overclock for a GTX 960?

My experience with the 960 (although mine is an SSC, a step below your FTW) is that you'll reach the point of artifacting long before you get to a temperature threshold or voltage max. My best overclock on the SSC is +47MHz core, +500MHz memory.

IS 80 C okay for GPU?

No, 80C is a safe temperature limit for any modern graphics card, your card and your components in your case should be fine with the card being 80C. However, make sure your case has good airflow, don't block any of its fans or put them right next to the wall, you case will get hotter much quicker like that.

If you're not comfortable with voltage tweaking, I'd say leave the card the way it is right now. It's not like you'll be able to get more than about 10-15% more frames from a 960 2GB.

NelizMastr

If I wasn't comfortable I wouldn't have posted in the first place, I'm just looking for some guidance

Jurrunio

What voltage does it currently run at? I remember the Asus Strix was locked to 1.212V from a hardware level, which means you need to hardware-hack the VRM controller instead rather than using software.

Jurrunio

don't know what that is, How can I unlock my power to get more thus overclock higher?

Well, it's kinda stupid for a Maxwell card, but I did it. I got my GTX 960 up to 1.5Ghz! (And yes, it's stable)

If you look at it as: I got an 82 offset on my core clock then it loses some of the impactfulness

Coaxialgamer

Nice , but that's fairly normal for a 960 . A friend of mine got his well past 1600mhz ( though it was a good chip )

It looks normal though personally I'm so used to my 1070 at 2.1GHz that 1.5GHz just seems low.
