Can i Overclock?

marvin16 · Sep 28, 2014

Hi, i have a xfx r9 280x , and i know there are 2 models of my gpu black edition and stock, black being an overclocked edition (I believe) I was wondering if i overclock my card will it be exactly the same as the black edition? also i have no idea how to overclock is it easy? and is my psu up for it

Here is my build: http://gyazo.com/5a953bfa1bbc26229ac6e80ed3b37d7e

Can the PSU handel OC?
i have an fx 8350

Also Will overclocking raise the Temps too much?

Yes you can OC the Card easily to black edition level or more its stock speed.

Overclocking is easy just dont mess with the voltage and there are many software's for OC you can download MSI afterburner for free and use it for OC if you are confused you can check up YouTube videos for that.

Your processor is also good for OC but you will need an aftermarket cooler for that.
Reference : coolermaster hyper 212 evo (30$)

I would not at all recommend to OC anything with that PSU its a poor PSU with poor quality Capacitors not at all suitable for OC.

Hope this helps if you have any questions feel free to ask.
