So yeah my cpu is intel and my gpu is amd and i'm trying to overclock my gpu using amd overdrive, I heard it can overclock amd gpu's, but it won't open saying that it cannot detect an amd processor. Of course it couldn't, I only want to overclock my gpu, not my cpu. As the question asks, how do you use amd overdrive to overclock amd gpu when your cpu is intel?...

You can overclock GPU from AMD Catalyst's build in overclock tool Overdrive without disturbing the CPU at all... Download MSI Kombustor 3 and take a Burn Test to check the stress test temperatures while overclocking.

Download GPUTool to an accessible folder and run it. Download MSI Afterburner (even if you already have Afterburner on your PC make sure you have it updated to the latest version). Navigate to the folder you installed it to (usually C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MSI Afterburner) and open the MSIAfterburner.cfg file using Wordpad. Find the following setting:
Code:
UnofficialOverclockingEULA
UnofficialOverclockingMode
and change (or add) it to:
Code:
UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1
