Overclocking my GPU
Overclocking my GPU
Well, the motherboard isn't crucial, so it's best to proceed if you have a good 400W PSU or higher. The Asus GPU tweak works fine when paired with Asus cards. MSI Afterburner seems to function well across various cards. Start overclocking slowly, increasing by 10 MHz then stressing it, then adding another 10 MHz, and so on. If you find the core's maximum, return it to stock and test the memory. Once you know its peak, set both components back to stock and raise them in increments of 5 MHz each time. Adjust voltage as needed (if available), but generally you'll see a noticeable jump in voltage with each clock cycle increase—this is likely where you should stop. Keep an eye on temperatures throughout.
I didn't realize overclocking was so complex
😀
When I reach the maximum Core clock, do I bring it back to stock, and repeat for memory clock? Or should I adjust both until my PSU can handle it?
Also, I have an older 450W Chieftec PSU and have been facing issues lately—my computer would freeze and restart, claiming there was a problem with the unstable PSU.
