Overclocking with both GPU and CPU
Overclocking with both GPU and CPU
You're using an i7 6700k with 16GB RAM, liquid cooling, and a r9 390 GPU. The PSU is an Evga Supernova 650G with 80+ Gold certification. You're aiming for a stable 4.7 GHz overclock but are struggling to reach it consistently. Your current temperatures are acceptable, but stability remains an issue. For the GPU, you're curious about what factors affect performance when pushing higher overclocks and what temperature limits you should respect.
Also include your mainboard. If you aim for higher performance, you also need the appropriate board to handle increased overclocking. The key elements affecting OC that damage your card or CPU are voltage and temperature. Voltage changes more quickly than temperature, so avoid exceeding a few hundred MHz.

I have an ASUS Z170A MB.
