OC GPU but not CPU

[jonnyyyl]

I got a ASRock Z87 fitted with the i7-4771 CPU and the AMD Sapphire Dual X R9-270x Gpu (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?pid=2039&lid=1)

 

I know that I can't OC the CPU, but can I OC the GPU only (and/or RAM) only. If so, what benefits do I gain? and how do I go about doing that?

 

Thanks.

get msi afterburner and follow a YouTube guide. Maybe 10-15% increase in clock speed. dont touch volts just power to max.

edit :
