Basically, what plays a larger factor when it comes to errors and why? Pushing a gpu too far past factory clocks, or not being able to sufficiently cool it at those clocks? On the premise that power demand for the card is sufficient for whatever clocks you’re trying to achieve via offsets, bios flashing, shunt modding, etc.
As far as I understand, it’s pushing performance that causes instability, while temperature simply causes the card to not be able to perform at all. Kind of like stretching the diameter of a water hose to carry more water but risking it breaking at poinrs, vs the water being too hot or cold and simply coming out as steam or being frozen entirely instead. And power delivery being simply how much water is being supplied.
But I’m not certain on just how impactful one or the other is when it comes to reliably pushing the cards performance.
