Is the GTX 960 2GB overclocking worth it?
Hi, I haven't overclocked any card before, but is it worth doing? How long will it last? I'm not sure how much overclocking is safe. My GPU is an Asus GTX 960 with 2GB STRIX, and my other specs are CPU I5 4460 at 3.2GHz, 8GB RAM, a Gigabyte H81M-H motherboard, a 256GB SSD, a 1TB HDD, and an CX600M PSU with 80+Bronze. I'm just curious where to start.
I boost all my cards since 1. they provide additional speed and 2. they will only remain functional for a few years before becoming outdated no matter their condition.

maximize the power limit, then adjust the core clock by 10 to 20 increments and evaluate your OC(overclock) using a benchmark or game to confirm stability. When instability appears, raise the core voltage by 10 and attempt another clock adjustment. After identifying the peak clock speed, gradually increase the memory clock speed in small steps until you reach a stable maximum.
