Hello guys , I'm totally newbi in overclocking (I just bought my new pc yesterday) and I'm thinking to overclock both CPU and GPU is this safe ??
Spex :-
I5 4670K 3.4GHZ 6MB Cache
Asus GTX 770 2GB Direct CU II
and 8GB Ram .. Win7 ultimate x64
Plz I want your experience .. Thanks .
Another thing does overclocking the GPU +70MHZ boost your fps (i'm talking about watch dogs cuz it's what i'm playing right now)
i heard some guys say that it obly boost 2`4 fps so, i thought it's totally not worth it .
Thanks for all the Answers BTW :)

The real question is... why buy a K when you're not going to overclock? :p

But for real, yeah just watch your temp. You generally don't want to hit ~80-85. There is tons of guides to get a baseline then you can tweak from there!
 
google for guides, tons of them online. just read a few first before trying.

be careful of a few things, temps and voltages. research for max safe voltage and temps. don't oc both gpu and cpu at the same time. do one, then move to the next. this is not a 10min task so take your time
