Help Me With Overclocking

here is the build I ordered my mobo GPU and SSD have arrived 

I am going to overclock my first build

but I wanted to ask you guys 

what is the best overclock settings for the ram GPU CPU frequency's and voltages 

help ur boy out

well, we can't really help you with just telling the best settings for your setup. no chip is made the same, and thus no chip has the exact same OC potential. you might win the 'sillicon lottery' and get a chip that OC's like a beast on low voltages, or you may have a bit of bad luck and get a hot running chip that needs high voltages for the same OC.

 

if you want to start out, just crank up the clock a bit and start stresstesting. do this untill the system crashes. when it does, add a little voltage and keep on stresstesting. then just see how far you can push it untill it becomes too unstable.

RAM: Set in XMP to 2666MHz

 

GPU and CPU: Varies between chips....

 

GPU: Pull the voltage, temp limit, power limit to maximum, then increase the clock speed slowly while running a demanding game. If it crashed, then reduce the clock speed by 20Mhz and call that stable. same for memory clock speed.

 

CPU: Set voltage to 1.4V, increase multiplier to 38, run AIDA64 stress test for a while. If it doesnt crash or get errors, increase multiplier by 1. If it does crash, lower the multiplier by 1, and reduce voltage by 0.05V, run AIDA64 again for a while. Keep on reducing till it gets errors, then increase voltage by 0.05V, and you are done.

should i even overclock?

yeah you should, it's basically free performance, and these days it is very hard to actually screw it up and damage components

If you already have enough performance (like, vsync always kick in anyway), you dont need to overclock
