Hello,

 

Before you judge me I'm a complete newbie to overclocking in general, the only experience i have is with the EasyTune software by Gigabyte on my Motherboard.

However I got this Nvidia GTX 1080 which came prebuilt with the waterblock already installed. https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk-tech-labs-gtx-1080-8192mb-gddr5x-water-cooled-graphics-card-wc-14b-tl.html#t=b1

 

However I am getting some FPS lag when I use a 2560x1440p monitor on Ultra settings, I was thinking since ive got the cooling i could put a high overclock on there but where do i start?

 

Cheers for any help you can give me.

You start by having a atleast 4.5ghz oc on your 5820K.

OC you cpu not your gpu there should be no reason the 1080 cant handle 2560x1440p on ultra when i have a 950 that can run 2560x1080p on medium 

I lurk a lot

Okay cheers for the advice, I'll give the cpu overclock another go tonight when i get back from work and try to get it up a fair bit. Currently running 4Ghz on the cpu with the EasyTune software.

Try and lookup some expert guides, you don't wanna use auto voltages, they will be too high at those clock speeds.

worst case scenario he can have the first few cores running at a higher clockrate.
