is overclocking core clock and mem clock with power limit 75% SAFE overclock?

[Honey]

hi,
first of i spent 15 minutes by thinking that im posting on safe location or not, because my topic was about overclock for mining. first i thought i should post on crypto thread then i thought its not about overclocking, then i posted here, please forgive me this time, im not a defaulter.

ok, i was thinking to overclock core clock by 150 and mem clock by 200 by decreasing the power limit,
current im doing this on 1060, then i will also try these on other gpus's(1070's)
but before, i always ask before action to be safe,
i heard that overclock decrease life, may be because of HEAT? what if i manage temp to below 62c would it be safer overclock?

is there any disadvantage of overclocking with less power limit?
normal non oc temp was 68 with 65% fan,
i decrease power limit to 75% then core clock to 100 and mem clock to -500, temp went down to 58c,
but before i increase mem clock i would ask you before doing,
please give me guide thanks...

You're all good.

You're all good.

thanks trying these settings on gtx 1070's now,
gtx 1070 temp is below 63c,
and gtx 1060 58c
is 63c good temp for 24/7?

As I said before, you'll be fine.

You are better off leaving the core clock alone , increase the memory clock and decrease the power target. If you also increase the core clock then that's somewhat useless , the card will automatically underclock itself when it needs more power.

Oh ok, just want to be safe, but at that time im getting good performance, will decrease core clock bit.

To make sure you're not going to verify every slider you change:

its nigh-impossible to break a Pascal card through manual OCing, unless you are overvolting AND have poor case ventilation at the same time - and even then, you'll run into other problems long before you brick the card. For reference, I've ran all my GPUs with max OC since day one and not once have I bricked one - and these all ran at 75-86C over the years.

Oh and one thing, DO NOT FLASH your BIOS. Thanks

Thanks for best answer, gave me chill. Many thanks.
