Hi. I just got my Asus GTX 960 Strix GPU and Im alredy thinking about overclocking it :D
Anyway what overclocking software would you recomend? Ive heard that MSI Afterburner is great, it would work on my Asus GPU, right? Or should I get the one Asus provides? Also do you have any good tips in overclocking?
 
Solution
MSI Afterburner is my favourite Overclocking program.
I can give you some overclocking tips too :
- don't modify the core voltage
- don't touch the power limit
- add 50 MHz bumps on the Core Clock, after every bump run Furmark for 1 hour. (if you're getting artifacts, black screens , blue screens, 85+ degrees - LOWER YOUR FREQUENCY , until your GPU it's stable)
- add 50-100 MHz bumps on the Memory clock

Watch your temperatures with HWiNFO : http://www.hwinfo.com/download.php - when you're reaching 85+ you should stop Overclocking.

Thanks! Are there any real differences between GPU Tweak II and MSI afterburner other than design?
 


There are not many differences between those 2 Overclocking programs, you can use whatever you like more.
