Overclocking and looking for help

[WaitDontSh00t]

I know...another OC'ing thread. I'll admit, I feel extremely stupid when it comes to overclocking. No matter how many videos I watch, I just feel like I am failing at it. I wish somebody can just do this for me as I'm stressing over it!

I also know that, nobody has to help me, but I would TRULY appreciate if someone could. I'm trying to get the most performance out of my system as I can. If anybody can help me out with my situation, that'd be amazing. 

 

My Specs: 

i7-6700k @ 4.5Ghz (Who knows if I even did this right?!)

Asus Maximus VIII Hero Alpha

Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB 3000Mhz

EVGA 980Ti Hybrid SLI

Corsair RM1000i PSU

 

---------------------

 

If I'm looking at this correctly, I believe my stock speeds for the Clock are 1304 and the Memory is 3505 (With Boost Clock [I think that's what it's called?]). I am also using EVGA Precision X. The only the I've changed so far is the Power and Temp target to max. I also downloaded Heaven, Valley, and MSI Kombustor Benchmark.

My first run on Heaven, without changing clock or memory offset was: 

FPS: 71.3

Score: 1796

Min FPS: 29.9

Max FPS: 1385

Quality: Ultra, Tess. Extreme, AA x8

Resolution: 3440x140

 

------------------

 

At this point, I'm assuming working on the core clock first? I found 100Mhz to crash, so I dropped down to 80Mhz. The benchmark passed.

FPS: 73.1

Score: 1842

Min/Max FPS: 31 & 139.7

 

--------------

 

Now what do I do? Does this mean I found my stable core? Do i increase or decrease it still? What should I do now with the memory? I haven't touched voltage either, since I'm terrified of even touching that setting, should I be?

 

Any help or tips would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

If it didn't crash, that is stable, yes. Don't increase, and decreasing is your option if the temp gets too high. Memory, idrk  too much about, but 3505 is fast speeds, so I wouldn't mess with it
