Hi, I've got my Gtx 1060 and amd fx 8350 bundle. Others suggested it's a smart move to overclock for optimal performance. I'm curious if that applies to my setup. My specs are: GPU - Gtx 1060 with Evga superclone 6GB, CPU - amd fx 8350 with Wraith cooler, motherboard - MSI 970 gaming. If you're thinking about overclocking, could someone explain the process clearly?

There is always a chance when increasing performance beyond the standard that you need to ensure your system remains fully stable before proceeding with the final speed setting.
If you attempt overclocking, don't anticipate a significant boost in gaming performance—you might only see a 5-10 fps improvement at best. This means you should consider whether the effort is justified.

Begin with AMD Overdrive software. Obtain benchmark data for your system at standard clocks, then view videos of others using it.
