I am still somewhat new to the whole OC'in of my system. Ran across a few forums on which overclocking tools one can use. There's just too many. I am not complaining tho. I just need to know which is best. I have a Gigabyte mobo that had the EasyTune 6 software with it. I tried to use that, but it didn't seem too useful, seemed light in features. Also have the gtx 760 that has the evga scanner, unigine, and precision x. Those seem to be better, but I haven't seen too many use those. While I have oc my cpu, i'd like to reach higher with my card, enough to run most of the games without instability.

Is there an all in one OC software that you guys prefer or use? Or can you recommend must haves for your systems?

My build is:

amd fx8320 @ 4.3ghz
evga gtx 760 2gb
crucial ballistic 4 gb (2x2gb)
evga 600w bronze psu
corsair h60 cooler
cooler master haf

msi afterburner has kombustor as well it is in the zip you download in the link given above.
after overclocking you can stress your gpu as well to ensure system stability and check that no throttling occure.

Funny thing I had MSI installed but never understood what I was doing when I launched it.

Thanks for the tip Irish/John

That Heaven software looks a lot like Unigine in design and features (software that came with my gtx 760). Is there a difference between the two?

Unigine Heaven is what you are talking about? I'm guessing your GPU came with the paid version? There is a free version and a paid version. There is typically no difference but yes, that is a great test thingamajig. Please post your scores and how high you overclocked. :)
