I just got a MSI R9 270 2gb card today i bought it because of the many favorable reviews and people stating it can be clocked to 270x numbers for a lower price...

i was told to just take the 3 sliders (core,memory,power limit %) and put them all to the right and save a preset.. is this safe/correct? and will there be any dmg to my videocard or pc by doing so?

i have an amd A10 quad core 6700 12 gigs of ram 700 w continuous pc power and cooling psu and 2tb hdd

i currently have it set to +20% 1050 core and 1500 memory just want to make sure this is a safe setting

You generally shouldn't just overclock that much in one go. Better to take it in small steps while running a stress test and looking out for artifacts.

But the card will most likely go to the BIOS limits without issue. Mine sure did.
