Hello,

I'm new at overclocking, and my friends sent me to this website. To learn about how to overclocking works and etc.. I haven't touch my bios, besides OC my RAM 1333Mhz to 1866Mhz but that's pretty much it, on what I have done so far.


System setup:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970-Gaming (AMD)
CPU: AMD 8320-FX 3.5GHz / turbo 4.0GHz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC Acx 2.0

Cooler: Cooler Master V-8 GTS
PSU: CORSAIR CX Series CX850M 80 Plus Bronze

Whoops, sorry. Normally people put their cooler next to their CPU on a list. All good, my bad.

To overclock your CPU you will need an aftermarket cooler. Overclocking on the stock cooler can often lead to overheating.

As to overclocking your GPU, I would suggest using MSI Afterburner, which works quite well.

The Cooler Master V8 GTS is not a stock cooler. It's a aftermarket, and I do have MSI Afterburner install to my computer. But I haven't OC on the program yet.

I would start out at 3.7ghz and run stress tests such as Aida64 before bumping it up some more. I would suggest you keep your temperatures below 60c for the 8320, so keep that in mind as well.

If the system crashes or doesn't boot up, you have an unstable CPU overclock and you'll have to either bump up the voltage, (which greatly increases the temperature) or lower the mhz.

Here's a link if you'd like some more information on overclocking your CPU:
