Hello, I was wondering if I overclocked my 1070 sc acx 3.0 Black Edition that it would lower my lifespan really fast, I look to upgrade my gpu in 3-4 years and was worried that If overclocked it would only last like 2 years or less. Also I was wondering if I had to set my gpu to 100% fan speed 24/7 if its overclocked, and if someone can give me a good fan cycle to make sure it doesn't overheat on idle and in games like whats a good fan speed for idle and gaming? And what should I get my max temp before the overclock cancels off? And whats the max temp my gpu should go to, and does overclocking a gpu raise your processor heat? Sorry, I have never overclocked and am worried.

So can I set my fans on auto while overclocked in game? Or will it overheat and is it dangerous to have your fans at 100%

yeah you can leave them at auto and there ramp up when the temperature rises

Hello Data again, the lifespan does decrease your correct. however how long it will last is like a piece of string, i had an old LGA 1156 socket cpu overclocked to 3.65mhz for 9 years and a radeon R7 200 series overclocked for the same time and they didn't die on me and still work. I only ever run my fans at 100% on the 1070 Ti's when they are overclocked via the EVGA precision XOC software in the video you watched, other than that they are set to default. you can set a the fan curve yourself on default i normally start it at 40 degrees and have it arched upwards. but the fans only kick in when the GPU gets hot. Overclocking a GPU will raise it but not by much, it depends on how much stress the CPU is under, how overclocked it is and what type of cooler you've got and what titles your running. 

This is correct in the sense that more heat is added to that product, when it comes to overclock's depending on the cooling method you have for that product that can help with preserving that life of that product GPU or CPU wise.

There are two things that will damage an IC (integrated circuit), Temp and too much voltage.
 
With Nvidia Pascal and Turing GPU's max voltage is locked so using max voltage on them is within Nvidia's safe zone (this is why Nvidia locked the max voltage for them, so we could not over volt them past safe levels).
 
This leaves temp left to deal with. Nvidia Pascal and Turing have protections built in to limit max safe temp. The GPU will throttle down in clock speed to maintain safe max allowable temp.
 
You should be OK overclocking the GPU. It will not appreciably shorten the GPU's life.
 
As long as you do not do some kind of hard mod to the card or flash to an unlocked BIOS on it (both of which would void the warranty anyway).
 
Keeping the graphics card as cool as possible is always the best bet. Turning up the fan speeds (air cooled) or putting the card on water cooling (best) and making sure you have proper case air flow will ensure you keep the temps withing max spec and also help to keep the card from throttling and stay at a consistent boost speed.
 
Nvidia GPU's are not like unlocked "K" model Intel CPU's where you can push voltage past safe levels. They are locked at max safe voltage from Nvidia and have temp protection built in to slow the card down in speed if max safe temp is reached.
 
Have fun overclocking :)

Yes and yes.
 
Nvidia's Boost 3.0 will automatically push the clock to what it feels is the max clock the card can do and remain stable within the power\temp\voltage parameters of the GPU. You will also see that Boost 3.0 will most likely boost the clock higher than 1750.
 
It does this on its' own and is designed into the GPU.
 
You can push the clock farther manually but you will still be limited by the power\temp\voltage parameters of your GPU\graphics card.
