Having patience and doing things in small steps can work wonders in providing the best user experience while keeping your hardware safe and benching over and over again. Proceed with caution and at your own risk. Not only EVGA, but I think most vendors won’t warranty any hardware if it shows signs of being used and abused. Consider everything given below as “self-educational” and provided to assist in getting the most out of your shiny new KP card. Taking the time and effort to prepare the VGA properly for more extreme forms of cooling and knowing some of the basics of overclocking, can go a long way to give a better understanding of exactly what is going on when you overclock your VGA at any temperature. This includes not only card PCB preparation for extreme conditions, but having the right software tools + capable supporting hardware( PSU) and a stable platform to test on.

Overclocking/overvoltaging your EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti KINGPIN graphics card on air, water, and LN2 temperatures can be fun and most of all pretty safe for the hardware, as long as it’s done correctly.
