Adjust the game's GPU challenge setting
I'm assembling a new build this weekend. Using BIOS to boost RAM with XMP profiles and the auto OC features on my MSI Mpower Titanium is quite straightforward and secure.
I haven't encountered much information about overclocking GPUs. Is that a separate process?
Apply MSI afterburner, Asus Tweak, His iTurbo, EVGA PresisionX etc., to boost GPU performance. Use OCCT's GPU test with error checking activated for verification. Adjust one clock at a time, testing for 30 minutes each cycle until errors appear. Reduce speed by 10 MHz repeatedly until the program stops reporting issues, then gradually increase by 5 until errors return, followed by decreasing by 2’s until it stops, then by 1 until it resets, repeating until you reach the stable maximum clock speed. Combine all settings and retest for 30 minutes to confirm stability.

It's not overly complicated, just requires some stress testing after the overclock.
I can assist you by finding reliable resources on stress testing. Being unfamiliar with overclocking, I know the basics but often guidance is vague. I’m unsure about the proper setup or timing for extended sessions, such as running it for 24 hours or while sleeping. If it stops upon failure, do I need to actively monitor it more closely? Please let me know if you’d like trusted links.
Apply MSI afterburner, Asus Tweak, His iTurbo, EVGA PresisionX etc., to boost GPU performance. Use OCCT's GPU test with error checking enabled for verification. Adjust each clock individually, testing for 30 minutes at a time, moving slowly and checking for errors. Reduce speed by 10 MHz each step until the program shows errors, then increase by 5 until it stops, repeat with smaller increments of 2 or 1 until stable. After reaching a stable maximum, combine all clocks and test again for 30 minutes to confirm consistency. If issues arise, gradually lower the speeds until stability is achieved. Refer to OCCT website or search for GPU overclocking tools online.
What are the available options for software that can perform stress tests on your CPU and RAM? I'm only interested in the basic tools that are readily accessible for beginners.
