Help needed in over clocking .

[keavlar]

Hey guys, 

I am not sure if this count , but the GPU is part of the overclocking parts I am interested to overclock. 

Before that , i wanted to ask few things. 

1.Is it really worth it.

2.Will my system support it.

3.How to do it properly. 

 

 

I have the Asus Hero IIV as Mother Board . 

I7-4790k 

And Gtx 1070 msi gaming x 

Corsair 750 watt 

And 

HyperX Beast 1600mhz 16GB (which for some reason when i try to over clock to at least 1800 , it doesn't let to start the pc)

 

The only reason , that i am interested to over clock, is to see the difference my self, as well, WHY THE HELL NOT , if you can .

Also, to see if it benefit in PUBG game.  AS it has poor performance, I wanted to know, if it still manageable?! 

So , what would be the best way to do it ?

Using the After Burner for the GPU ?

And ASUS AI Suit ?

 

 

And what Parameters should i insert ?

1. Yes

2. Yes

3:

-Download an overclocking program. my preferred one is MSI afterburner, but some people like EVGA Precision XOC, or others.

-I like to crank power limit and voltage all the way up, since it gives a bit more overclocking headroom, and NVidia protects their cards so strictly anyway that full power limit and voltage is only going from 1.03 to 1.09V IIRC. if you don't feel comfortable, skip this step

- Increase both memory clock and core clock, running a benchmark for a few minutes after every adjustment -- if the system doesn't crash/stutter, then it's at least semi-stable -- overclock higher

- once it becomes unstable, go back to the last stable clockspeed, and run a benchmark for a really long time. at least a few hours to determine stability. you'll also want to run a variety of benchmarks, each for a few hours, to see if the card is stable in every scenario. if not, lower clocks and repeat. if yes, you're done!!

Thanks. 

Can you please advise a benchmark tools? 

I do have the Future Mark 3D bench Mark. The free version though . 

Also, benchmark.unigine.com .

Would you recommend something else?

both of those are great.

if you have any games with a built-in benchmark I'd use those as well. but honestly, Unigine valley/heaven/superposition (one of them) and one or two of futuremark's benches should be mostly good enough.

 

keep in mind that if you do end up seeing random freezes/crashes in games after this, it could be your OC, even if you've thought it's been stable. first course of action in troubleshooting is to undo any OCs

When I overclocked my Cards months ago I used Unigine valley (free) and tested each new clock for 3 hours before placing a Boinc load on it for an hour or so. 

 

Crashes where the screen freezes or just goes to black are perfectly normal and just a force restart will get you back into business.

I would recommend just working on the core clocks as those have the largest influence on the performance of the cards. I found from my overclocking that trying to push memory often results in greater instability than pushing the core clocks. But that is just for me, your mileage may vary.

 

Also, push the clocks in fixed increments so that you can easily remember the last stable clock. 

 

I should mention that you should make sure that none of your PC apps or windows itself wants to update whilst updating, because a crash would often really mess up the system due to the apps being halfway through updating. (My buddy learnt the hard way).

Thx for advice, i actually learned it my self, and not only with PC.

Understood, thx .
