Graphics Card Overclocking Help!

[Thanatos_G]

I am looking to overclock my graphics card, I have a Msi Geforce GTX 970.

 

The problem is I am very inexperienced when it comes to overclocking. 

 

What is a safe amount of boost I can get without frying my GPU.

 

Currently i have my PC running with 2 Corsair SP120 High Static Pressure 120MM Fans on the top of the case.

 

And then the default CPU Fan. With the two twin frozr fans. Not a lot of Extras. And being I don't want to fry my GPU

 

How do I overclock without blowing up my new rig. Thanks in Advanced for any input!

 

Current Complete Rig: 

 

i5-4460

Msi Geforce GTX 970 4GB 

Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (4x4)

WD Caviar Blue 1TB Hard Drive

Crucial BX100 250GB SSD

Corsair 100R Carbide Series

Asus Micro ATX DDR3 1600 B85M-R 2.0

Sentey Modular Power Supply 80+ Bronze (750W)

And of Course the Dual Corsair Fans.

You can't fry your GPU cos it's voltage locked by Nvidia.  Just try any frequency and test for stability.  Stable, go up 25 MHz, unstable, go down 10MHz.  Repeat until everything is fine.
