MSI Afterburner is simply an overclocking utility. It works with all brands. Same goes with PrecisionX.

So I've been overclocking for a while now so naturally the first thing I did when I got my 970 was OC it.

 

But I'm thinking about turning up the voltage too however while I'm aware of the recommended process and how to do it, I'm wondering what software to use, I'm running a Gigabyte G1 so I assume that the MSI Afterburner isn't going to allow me to overvolt.

 

What program should I be using?

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Alright I was just a bit confused because it said to unlock it only if you had a reference board, or MSI board
