i am scared to death to screw up my pc with msi afterburner lol

so i just installed it and it shows me

core voltage (mV)
power limit (%) 100
cor clock (MHz) 0
memory clock (MHz) 0
fan speed (%) 30

so tll me what i should do please

set by step
 
Solution


To test the the overclock fully then i would suggest downloading a gpu stress tester like msi kombustor or furmark. They will have a gpu temp graph on screen during the test. If you arent seeing much change it could be your cpu bottlenecking performane of the card. I used to have an old core 2 quad and in many games it would bottleneck my hd 6850 and not let it get more than 80% under load

you could google what other people are getting their core and mem up to without voltage increase and set yours to say 20mhz below that. run msi kombustor burn in test for about 10 or more mins and see what your maximum temps were. that is as much as i know about overclocking on stock voltage. if the temps stay below 70C then i would say you are good. im not a pro overclocker but i know this is generally the safe way to do it

nevermind that i just set it up to 132 for core clock and other one memory clock is set to 530

is this ok for the gtx 660ti or should it be higher?

Only go up a little bit at a time, like 10mhz. Keep an eye on your temps, don't let your gpu pass 80 degrees. If it does or you see graphics glitches, you went to far.
