Hey there. Your GPU is a Gigabyte Aorus rx 580 with 4GB RAM. You're considering pushing it to its maximum, but it's not an official overclock. Using AORUS software for this purpose is possible with a single click. If you skip AORUS or their own methods, can you safely use MSI Afterburner to overclock it? And is it safe to do so?

the oc edition simply indicates a higher factory clock speed, but you can still perform overclocking just like before. the marketing image on the box is mainly for promotional purposes.

You can use your card in the same way as Oc edition cards, but the risks might be slightly higher.
