hi i just overclocked my gpu using guru ii but i want to see some on screen information while gaming ( like fps and gpu load.temp...etc) so can i use msi afterburner for this purpose along with guru ii ? will this cause the gpu to fail since they both r overclocking software ( on of them may override its settings or something? )

overclocking with msi seems alittle bit hard for me as this is my first time to overclock a gpu plus i got some assistance from this link: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/12/17/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_780_oc_rev_20_video_card_review/3#.VTZ76PmUc6X
and i actually managed to use the same values they used, and my gpu runs pretty well,anyway i launched msi while guru ii was already running and no thing bad happened, i only noticed that msi reading only 300 mhz increment though i actually boosted it up to +600 in guru ii !

While running 2 overclocking programs at once, they will conflict and override each other, its best just to use MSI Afterburner on it's own.
You can click on the boxes by the sliders and type in the amount you want to add (+60), press enter after typing the number and then click apply at the bottom :)

the only reason i couldn't use msi is because i don't know how to adjust core voltage using that software, i mean in guru ii u can adjust both min and max voltage so i was able to crank the offset max core voltage to + 0.0375 how can i do the same using msi after burner ?
plus i already used them both together,guru for overclocking and msi for monitoring but i didn't tweak anything in msi, any harm might have happened to my gpu ?
 

You have to go into settings and tick "unlock voltage control", the card should put less voltage in on it's own when idle or under light use. Be careful with voltages and keep an eye on the temps.

msi seems to be using another method for adjusting voltage it shows core voltage in (mv) while guru shows it in (v) so what mv value is equal to 0,0375 v ?
