Increasing it by 5 does nothing. You would have to increase it by at least something like 50 to see any kind of results and even so not huge ones, I dont really see a point in overclocking your gpu because at big new shiny games your cpu will limit it anyway. (or at least it should at least to some degree)
Of course if you still want to bother with it here is a link -

your psu is what you're using? you can begin by trying MSI afterburner. adjust the max power and temperature, increasing by 5-10mhz each time, and test overclocking with games like heaven or valley to check stability.

your psu is unknown. you can begin by using msi afterburner. adjust max power and temperature, increase 5-10mhz each time and test overclock with games like heaven or valley to check stability. i'm not sure how to verify it. edits show i raised both by 5 and got valley fps.

I meant by increasing 5-10 and then testing was just for stability, especially since this is your first time. You should continue until sometimes things fail during stressing—whether it's stuttering, artifacts, or crashes. After that, you need to lower back to a safer, more stable overclock. Aim for 50+Mhz, though it really depends on the situation. Sometimes you might be stuck at 55-58 FPS, and overclocking the card can get you into the 60FPS+ range.

Edit: Also, start overclocking the Core Clock first until you hit that limit. If you really want to, then adjust the memory clock, but you won't notice much improvement unless you reach 250+Mhz.
