Here's the bios with raised up timings to try for anyone who wants to experiment.

The changed timings are only those altered by The Stilt in his optimizations.

I've a technical question for you: how a "temperature" problem can be solved from "latency" tweaks? I don't get it.

About the bios version - I didn't notice any difference between different bioses in performance, however, i didn't focus on that, so it's possible that I've missed something.
The bios appears the oldest, and change my card frequency: 1100MHz on GPU and 1400MHz on Vram!
-200MHz on Vram and I don't see the latencies...

The "optimized" bios hurts a lot! -15% of FPS!

I define the FAN % to 100% those artifacts go awayDo artifacts go away in your case once appeared but just with changing fan speed - without having to restart game or PC, without having to start game with 100% fan initially?

Nope, once the artifacts appear, the only way to fix is really closing the application and reopen it with changesSame as in my case.
I only use the fans with 100% to determine that it all was really an overheating issue.100% of fan is an issue itself.. Anyway, 1070/1500 is almost close memory clock to safe 1000/1500 or 1200/1400. I would like to use some watercooling for VRAM, but it's not possible to be sure - what if even with watercooling it will not be possible to reach 1600 on memory with 1100 on core? As I've said above, it's better to use 1200/1400 than 1000/1700 (i try to not refer to memory clocks without core clocks, as high core clocks are important to load the memory enough to make the artifacts appeat)

With my custom tool it's clear that from 960x3MB surfaces only 5-6 ones fail, the rest ones keep performing stable on intensive read/write up to 1850 MHz. And so far I've found no way to properly isolate bad areas to let the other 2990MB work on top frequencies.

I purchased this waterblock, but I didn't get it yet. When I do I'll update here with news about how the card performs! (:
