Go to solution Solved by DrM,

For cpu, keep voltage under 1.35V and temps under 80C continuous. For gpu, raise core clock as high as it can go, by ~10MHz each time, then OC mem clock if you want (its not as important, might riase frames by 1 or 2 but nothing huge). Not sure about ram. Afterburner is the goto program for oc. For gpu stress teesting, i use furmark and unigin valley, though theres also heaven. for cpu stress test, aida 64. Finally, GPUz and CPUz to make sure the OC worked, and firestrike to benchmark your gpu OC
