start with memory speed and then the coreclock or first the coreclock and then memory speed?

It doesn't matter. I tend to overclock both things at the same time: Overclock the core clock a bit, then the memory clock, and repeat.

 

Here's a short GPU overclocking guide:

- Increase the core clock by a bit at a time (maybe 25MHz at a time) and same goes for memory.

- Then you stress test your GPU (run Unigine Valley Benchmark) for some time.

- If the application doesn't crash, then your overclock is stable but if Unigine Valley Benchmark crashes, then your overclock isn't stable. 

 - If your app crashes, you have two options: either add more voltage or decrease the core/memory clock.

I do the same thing. OC both at the same time.

 

This is my sweet spot for my GPU, max GPU clock read by HWinfo is 2037.5MHz, but when I run Unigine Valley 1080p Ultra it shows 2075MHz and the memory is 4400MHz.
