GTX 970 stability problem

[breckjensen]

hello,

I have a GTX 970 that has never folded reliably. (I don't think it's card or driver specific issue.) After struggling to it stable I realized that some WUs are pushing the temp up even with core and memory clocks lowered. Also realized that this card does not like to get near 80 degrees. No idea why, but it doesn't.

I set MSI Afterburner to keep the temp at 75. Have had no issues since doing that. Yes, it runs more slowly. I'll take a few less PPD and reliability rather than the constant headache of trying to find the right clock speeds. What's great about this as well is that I can set the fan speed manually, so it'll keep the card at 75 degrees with a loud or quiet fan. The output changes, of course, but it takes out the reliability issues of trying to manage the core and memory clocks.

Please help.

Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
