[KSores]

i want to overclock my 6700k and my strix gtx 970 but.... i am nervous and do not want to break anything.

pfff frying components from ocing is very difficult actually.

with the gpu it is impossible on the stock bios

and with the cpu it would require a silly high vcore to do so

What CPU cooler do you have?

Make sure your cooling system is working properly, and try not to exceed 85C on either the CPU or GPU, but it's probably best to stay around 70. Under gaming loads, both of these chips are under different amounts of load during different times in the game. The more stress on that component, the harder it will have to work and will increase the temperature. On your GPU, make sure force constant voltage is turned OFF, unless you want all that extra voltage going to your card at all times. Good luck.

May want to upgrade that for a good OC, 4.2 GHZ is probably still achievable
