hey new to the pc world, so eventually got my build finished with a gpu now i want to do an overclock on it. has anyone get any tips and also any base clocks to go off what are stable ive used the auto over clock in the adm program but feel that it will be a weak overclock but maybe you lot know more than me thanks phil
Use MSI Afterburner to boost the processor speed, but only change two things: the CPU clock and the RAM clock. When I pushed my R9 380 with 4GB of memory from Gigabyte up like this: Core Clock went from stock at 990mhz all the way up to 1100mhz before I hit a black screen due to bad artifacts. All about overclocking the core clock...
I'll use MSI Afterburner to overclock, but only two things I care about are the core clock and the memory clock. Here is what happened when I overclocked my R9 380 4GB from Gigabyte: My Core Clock went from stock at 990mhz up to 1000mhz, then kept going up step by step until it hit 1100mhz. I stopped because I saw little visual artifacts and a black screen appeared. This means that when you overclock the core clock, you must do it while running a benchmark test. I recommend using Unigine Heaven Benchmark for this job. To check if an overclock is good or bad, just wait two minutes after every increase and see if there are any artifacts or black screens. If you get no problems with anything, then your overclocking is stable and working well. But if you see artifacts or a black screen, that means it's a bad overclock and you need to go back down to the last frequency that worked fine for you. When I tried pushing my memory clock higher than normal, every single time it got worse (even if I increased it by just one millihertz). My stock memory speed was 1425mhz, which means I simply cannot push it any further with this card. Every GPU has different limits for overclocking, so don't just watch videos about other cards like the RX 580 and try that instead of doing it yourself to see what works for you. Also when increasing memory clock speed up by 50mhz or 100mhz, you can trust me saying it is safe. The process of making a good or bad overclock works exactly the same way with memory clocks too. These two videos helped me out a lot and I recommend watching them first: First video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkwCPGmVszI Second video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1dGwFOdFL Tip for the second video is to pick any benchmark you like, whether it's Unigine Heaven or Kombustor. It doesn't matter which one you use, just click Run on both of them without changing other settings. I used Unigine Heaven. Edit: Read my essay and watch those two videos BEFORE trying the overclocking yourself!
