Hi Guys,
Would you mind offering some advice on overclocking your new components tomorrow?
Right now I have an i5 3570 with a 1080, which has been limiting performance. I’ve already upgraded my cooler and have some parts ready to pair with it.
Could you recommend safe overclock options for this setup? Even if it’s possible, what are the risks? And should I consider overclocking the GPU?
Thanks in advance!

CPU overclocking should stay below 80°C during gaming and under 85°C when stress testing. The maximum voltage allowed is 1.4V.
For the Nvidia GPU, I typically push the power limit to its highest setting and then generate a fan curve showing performance at 75 or 80°C.

I believe it's optimal to increase clock speed using a board featuring stronger VRM design.
