hey, im new to overclocing and all that, just got my new pc and am messing wih the settings in ASUS's GPU tweak.

My GPU is an ASUS R9 280X, i currently have it up to 1100MHz and it running at a temp of 52C... If im not misstaken, overclocking too much could cause permanent problems so i wanted to ask you guys what you would set my cards overclocking abilities to?

How high could i go and what temp should i stay under?

also, will i see much of performance increase if i only OC the GPU... im stuck with a crappy stock cooler for now so im staying away from OC's to the CPU.

If it helps my motherboard is an M5A97 R2.0...

Hi.. :)

You should stay under temperatures of max 80°C. You can basically overclock the GPU as long as it's stable with just a small voltage increase.
