The Geforce GTX 960 has a fair amount of overclocking headroom. The reference card’s base clock frequency is 1126MHz, with a boost clock of 1178MHz. However, The EVGA GTX 960 SSC base clock frequency is 1279MHz, with a boost clock of 1342MHz.

During our OC tests, the EVGA GTX 960 SSC was able to hit speeds of 1500MHz with ease: no voltage modifications are necessary to achieve this.

However, to get to 1500MHz we had to manually increase the fan RPM to 55%. This was enough to keep the GPU temperature below 61 degrees Celsius at a Boost clock of up to 1529MHz.

Memory overclocking yielded good results. We increased the clock by 450MHz with no adverse effects.
