Overclocking PNY GTX 960 4GB

[thekrang]

Hey guy's. A friend of mine just recently bought an PNY GTX 960 4GB, it actually performs really well, but he wants a little more.  He decided to do OC but we haven't done anything with that so, we want your advice or tutorial   the other components are: FX 8350 stock, 990FXA-UD3 and a Corsair CX 600M

Btw, we saw the oc they made in this site: http://www.pcgamewar...cs-card-review/ but they are using another CPU and a Bigger PSU so we didn't want it to do it that way

Download & Install MSI Afterburner then increase the core clockspeed in small increments, run a benchmark or game of your choice to check for stability. If no crashes occur, continue to increase the core clockspeed. Once you encounter a crash, start to increase the core voltage (if available) in increments of 5 mV until you no longer experience crashing. Once this happens, repeat the process.

That easy? but whats my limit because  the psu or the cpu. I also don't want to damage it or burn it. It's a reference cooler

I forgot to mention temperatures, just make sure they are at or under 85C. Also, that power supply is plenty for those two components. I used to run my heavily OC'ed FX-8320 and GTX 970, both of which consume more power than a stock FX-8320 and GTX 960, on my old Corsair CX600, and it ran just fine. So yea, just make sure your GPU does not surpass 85C. If it does, don't worry, just quit the benchmark / game and there will be no damage to your graphics card whatsoever.
