MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G Overclocking

MSI Afterburner allowed us to increase the power limit to 108 percent and the temperature limit to 92°C for maximum headroom. We also put the voltage setting to 100 percent for good measure.

The core proved to be pretty overclocking friendly on our sample. We were able to add 130MHz to the base clock, giving us a speed of 1,724MHz (1,939MHz boost). This an eight percent increase on MSI's own OC Mode speeds, and a 14 percent increase on reference clocks. It's also in line with what we saw from the Founders Edition and the Asus GTX 1060 Strix OC.

The memory was stable up to 2.275GHz for an effective speed of 9.1Gbps, a 12 percent boost.
