radeon r7 240 Gigabyte radeon R7 240 Overclocking

[Colbea]

So I have had my Gigabyte Radeon R7 24 0and have recently been trying to overclock it since it doesn't perform good on most modern games. I am using MSI Afterburner and set the core clock and the memory clock to 1000mhz. And when I booted up MSI Kombuster it crashed which meant it was unstable. After that fail I tried loads of other different combos and they were all unstable. I watched guides on Youtube and it was still unstable. So that's why I'm here. It would help if anyone new a stable overclock for a GIGABYTE Radeon R7 240 that would be able to run Fallout 4 on low settings.

 

System Specs

-Intel Pentium E5300

-8 gigabytes of ddr3 ram

-Gigabyte Radeon R7 240, 2 gigabytes of ddr3

-Windows 10

every GPU is different. maybe yours cant OC very well.

no single clockspeed and voltage will work for all cards.

Lower resolution if you want to run fallout 4. it should be okay at low settings at 720p (console level)

Agreed. Although manafacturers aside, I would not come to ever believe the quality of silicone and alike things for such card were ever intended for any disruption to factory clocks and so forth since it for being such a cheaply low end card the components probably aren't up to much of an overclock.

if you really wanna push GPU's like that, you'll need to get handy with a soldering iron and understand it probably won't last longer than a month. I killed that GT610 pushing it to the limit of what that card could do, I never even got to take it onto dry ice.

And Will my gpu break or lose performance at the overclock its running at now because it surprisingly only goes up to 40-50 degrees celcius

I did that but it honestly didn't affect the fps at all
