i7 4790k with Z97X Gaming 5 MOBO, 8 Gigs Fury X RAM, Phanteks CPU cooler, Geforce GTX 980. I'm planning to overclock slightly and need guidance on adjusting the clock speed.
Exactly what you wish to overclock is unclear. It could be the CPU, GPU, or both. Each component offers unique overclocking possibilities. Even those with identical configurations may not know what settings work best for their specific system (depends on equipment quality). The safest approach is to begin with tools like MSI Afterburner, watch relevant videos, adjust gradually, and verify stability with benchmarks before proceeding. After mastering the basics, you can tackle CPU overclocking, possibly using XMP profiles, boosting memory, and a minimal CPU adjustment as a starting point.
