I haven't OC'd a GPU in the last 10 years and am considering overclocking the memory to maximize hash rate in my gaming rig. It's a single GPU, 1080FW, currently stock but I'll be installing a heatkiller full coverage waterblock in the next month (it's sitting next to the computer).
I didn't used to care about how long the card lasted but I'd like to stretch this one for several years; do the same considerations about CPU OC apply here? Namely, keep temps and collages good and it should be fine. It should be noted I have an X58 hex core OC' D over 4ghz so clearly I'm not afraid of all risk (although it isn't expected to to last as many years)
I'm planning on lowering the power target, declocking the core and increasing the memory for hash rate. For gaming I'd do stock clocks and power target (I play old games)
