Overlocking Help

[jgoonatilaka]

Allright, So I have got my R9 280 and a 650 watt PSU, am I ready to Overclock? If so what utility should I use? Thanks.

i use msi afterburner. It has tons of features. That or evga. Do you feel ready to oc. It can take a bit to test ot and get ot stable. I use Valley or occt to test.

I'd be surprised if you don't hit 1080-1100Mhz coreclock without even touching voltage...

All my 7950's and R9-280's can, I hope yours does too.

I use MSI

Set Power to a Positive value to stop declocking in 3D games,.. +20 to +50, +20 is most likely enough to stop declocking in lighter load situations.

/Does not add voltage, does not void anything, "Power" is a feature, not something tacked on.

Yeah you should be fine (unless you're using a CPU with a crazy TDP).

MSI AfterBurner is hands down the best GPU OC utility.
