Locked CPU, so no overclocking there. The only thing would be able to overclock would be the graphics card

I5 4470     -     Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo    -    Asus Strix GTX960    -    12Gb ram    -    Adata SP600 128Gb    -    Seagate 2Tb    -    AsRock Fatal1ty B85 Killer    -    Seasonic M12II EVO 520        

IN WIN 703    -     Dell P2414H    -    LG Flatron M197WDP    -    CMSTORM Quickfire XT with MX blue's    -    Logitech  G502

If I follow you, consider your self lucky, I rarely follow people and when I do it's either because

1) I look up to you

2)I like your picture

3) Or you have an epic ass rig (40 titan x's 9 6700k's clocked at 29GHz that is what I call a epic ass rig, but no one has that soo...)

i use windows 10 now. so >.> but yeah, how much should i do the MSI afterburner with and what should i adjust and look after?

Install MSI Afterburner, then go into settings and check "Unlock Voltage Control" and "Unlock Voltage Monitoring" 

 

It'll ask you to restart the software, do so. 

 

Then on the main page, slide the Core Voltage and Power Limit to maximum then slowly increase the Core Clock and Memory Clock while checking for stability every 5-10 MHz increase. 

 

Do that until it crash then back off by 5-10. Test again, if it doesn't crash. that's as far as you'll get it. 

 

EDIT: You can also use the stats on this page as reference for what you "could" achieve.
