Hey
I'll start with my specs :
Gigabyte Z270X Ultra Gaming
Intel i5 7600K @3.80 GHz
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16 GB (1x16)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Mini ITX
Corsair CS650M Modular PSU
Cooler Master 212 LED Turbo
NZXT S340 (Case Fans Included)
BenQ EW2775zH
My question is, Am i able to overclock my CPU and my GPU ? Does my setup meet the requirements for a Overclock ? And if so, will Overclocking boost my performance in Gaming and make my PC less laggy when trying to use heavy programs like Premiere or Cinema 4D ?
I tried using EasyTune to select a "OC" option.

This is the Default setting

This is the "OC" option
I haven't tried playing games with this option set on, does this mean my PC is overclocked ?
I am a sound a lot dumb, i did my Custom Build with the specs and all myself, but Overclocking was always far away from my point of Interest. But if i can get more power at the expense of Electricity rather than upgrading and that caught my eye and i want to try this.

This is my Temp and why is my GPU Fan's RPM value is "0" does it mean the Fan isn't spinning ?

HWinfo can verify the CPU and GPU speeds. Manual overclocking remains the best method for optimization. Your system supports OC and should enhance gaming performance. BIOS -> CPU OCing, MSI afterburner can adjust GPU settings. Refer to the provided links:

Thanks, I managed to increase my GPU's speed. The current clock at 64-70 degrees is acceptable?
I’ll share an update once I complete CPU overclocking.

when under load temperature should remain below 85 and it's fine.
