Hi i have a MSI R9 380 4GB and i was wondering if i should over clock i have experience with over clocking my cpu (6300) but not a gpu im not sure what the benefits are but im quite nervous about this video card overlloking subject due to one of my friends trying to over clock his 980 ti and ruining it so it would make a wired sound.

So i guess my question is are the rewards worth the risks and if so how an earth would i over clock my 380.

Use MSI Afterburner and don't exceed the recommended settings.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

Risks: not big.

I never heard of overclocking permanently damanging a card. All cards are protected from user error in a sense (locked voltage).

Weird noise? Coil whine? Not a big deal tbh just left my EVGA FTW folding for a day and it soon died down.
