Solved! Does a jogger core/memory clock decrease life span

[bvanmanen81]

Hello,

I just got my GIGABYTE GEFORCE RTX 2070 GAMING OC 8G

As my title says: Does increasing the core and the memory clock decrease the life span. Not overvolting or increasing power target. Is it worth it tot overclock?

Thanks

When done within reason it doesn't decrease the lifespan of your card. On the other hand, if you max out all of the settings it will crash . But you can damage the card like that.

But yes it is worth the time. But start off in small increments without increasing the voltage. I would suggest watching some YouTube videos on GPU overclocking to get an idea of how it is done.

Here are a few.
Is it safe?
