Hi, so I have been interesting in overclocking my GTX 970 lately (MSI Twin Frozr), but I've been really wondering what the best way to go about it is. I have looked online, and I get that you usually go up in increments with usually the memory core clock first, then the other. The main question I guess I have is what do I do with the voltage? I am using afterburner and all I see is the power limit. If there is also some nice guides I've missed, those would be appreciated as well.

 

Thanks, sorry if I missed something I really shouldn't have missed :P.

Try OC'ing without increasing the voltage at first (you can increase the power % offset though). Once you start getting unstable, then try upping the voltage in low increments.
