I've had my pc for about 8 months, I've never over-clocked before and don't know whether it worth it to do it.

 

I'm running an:

MSI Z97 MPower Motherboard

Asus Radeon R9 270X 2GB

Intel core I5 4690K

It is very easy to overclock the GPU just use MSI Afterburner. For the CPU i think you should overclock if you have good cooling, but i have never overclocked CPUs before so i am not shure.

We've now got three different subjects going on, an Asian fox and motorbike fetish, two guys talking about Norway invasions and then some other people talking about body building... This thread is turning into a free for all fetish infested Norwegian circle jerk.

I would suggest using the motherboard bios to overclock, not any type of software in the OS. Also, make sure your power supply can handle it. Beyond that, yes, overclock.
