What steps should be taken to begin an overclock?
Hi, I own the MSI GX 960 4GB OC card and have a question—anyone else has used this? I'm looking for a decent medium-level overclock that isn't too heavy, since I'm just starting out. Also, would you mind pointing me toward any guides or resources on how to do it properly?
Nope. None of the options fit. All that matters is secondary.
Main focus, first priority, the most crucial step to tackle right away... (iiSlashr had a good point)

Anything about the OC of a GPU, your GPU, or any GPU. The theory remains consistent, though details vary by card. Videos, forums, Google—everything. Once you’ve gone through it all, start again because what you skipped before will now make sense.
By then you’ll grasp what turtlerig means, the necessary software, how to handle power limits versus voltage shifts, understand VRAM, VRM, and the card’s specific constraints.
This detailed article covers safe GPU overclocking techniques.
Your going to want to download MSI AB and insall her. Now you can see where you can use slides to OC your GPU and your VRAM. You can also set fan curves and have OSD and what not. For your card try a VRAM OC first of 500Mhz more and see how she runs. If no artifacts then raise it to 600Mhz and so on. This would be the memory not the core or GPU clock. That is a starting point for you. 💯🖐🤷♀️
