I recently purchased a pc for $600 from a friend as my old one didn't function any longer.
specs
MB- Asus SaberTooth X79
Cpu- I7-4820k
cpu cooling Zalman cnps9900Max-b 900-1500\1700rpm
Mem- 4x 4gb Corsair Vengence PC3-12800 in quad channel
PSU Corsair RM850
GPU EVGA GTX 970 and 770
770 dedicated to PhysX only

Ive got it up and running and I know its not the best there is out there but ive never have something like this. Just looking for pointers on whether or not I can overclock cpu and the gpu. What kind of fps I can get at 1920X1080 gaming. Wondering if having the 770 dedicated to the few PhysX games there are is worth even having it in my system at all. I am also new to the oc Scene so I don't really know much other than it can improve fps and speed at more heat and risk. Just wondering what I could safely do with what I have if anything at all. Thanks in advance and I apologize if this isn't in the correct area. this is my first posting here

the 770 in your build is a waste of time. only 1 or 2 games would make an effective use of it. even on games that support nvidia physx your looking at maybe 1-3 fps gains. batman archam knight or asylum (cant remember which) was the only game i saw tested that showed a significant boost of about 10fps

save some money on your electric mate and remove the 770

as for what you will get fps wise. it will depend on the games you play. if there dx9-11 then most of the time you will see between 60 and 100+ fps at ultra settings. although the odd game like witcher 3 will drag the min fps down into the high 30's and 40's... still very playable.
but if your talking cs:go league...

but if your talking cs:go league of ledgands. then you will get all the fps and then some.

Thanks Hexit. Ive tried those games and even some like borderlands/2. Ive found the 770 to drag things down a little in certain instances. As for witcher, long as i keep hairworks off ive gotten well over 80 even in the big town. Was also thinking that since the 770 is directly below my 970, the 970 is sucking up heat from it. forgot to add the 970 is a SC acx 2.0 if that matters any. Again I thank you for your advice. Ill remove it and see.

Any thoughts on overclocking my cpu or the 970 SC? I know each gpu ocs differently. as for my cpu idk what i could safely do using just a zalman cooler. im not trying to be greedy and risk too much. but optimizing what i do have to get the best possible perfomance i think is every persons goal haha. thanks again.

toms has a few oc tutorials as well as a lot of topics asking the same. have a quick search and you will find all the info you need.
as for the gpu. i use precision x to bump the max gpu temp on the fan profile to 90 (it never goes above 75 but gives more headroom for other settings.)
bump the power limit to 110%
as for the core clock +200-220 is typical
as for the memory +450-500 is often easy to get on a 970 regardless of brand and cooler. (none blower units)

anything over that, use small increments and test. if it crashes back off the clocks.
personally i dont recommend you bump the Millivolts as it can increase the gpu wear dramatically if you go to high.

I also have the precision software and have been messing with it some. You said boosting the core clock by 200 to 220 and memory to 450 to 500. Ive set power to 110 temp to full. but if i try to go more than +75 on the core clock or +300 on the memory, games crash or gpu just cuts out and resets to standard. I just wonder if its something ive set in the nvidia options or if this particular card isnt able to oc well.

Also ive heard conflicting posts all over refering to boosting the voltage on Nvidia cards. that the max is built in to the bios. that even if you + it to the max the safety net installed in bios will prevent damage from doing so. mine in both afterburner and precision only go to +37. where i see most say it can go to +87. But ive also read of people with same card getting at least +120 to core stable. and i cannot even hit 100 without out artifacting or gpu reverting to stock and crashing games. I hope im not bothering you with all this haha. but i do appreciate all the input.

it says its 78.2% lol see what i mean? The best ive been able to do and not get any artifacting or crashing is
Power target 110%
Temp target 91C
Gpu clock +85
MEM clock +350
No Voltage +ing
My Default clock is 1165 boost 1317. With the OC its now 1250 boost 1402
memory default is 1753 oc'ed 1928. Its not bad granted but i just cant figure out why i cant come close to any of the OCs that i see for this card around the net. Im not above the reality that its just not a good card for oc and its not really a deal breaker by any means. Just the fact ive read so many posts about this same card getting a much better oc than what i do. And whether its something im doing or im just limited by the cut of silicon that this card got at the time of manufacturing.
From what ive read tho ASIC only matters on efficiency. power and heat. not necessarily oc ability.

yep efficiency power and heat.
all 3 affect the cards oc ability. as your struggling try bumping the Mv to +30.
as your asic is a little higher than the average you may need to bump the power a little to get the same results as people with asic's of 75.
i know this sounds counter intuitive but it seems to be the done thing.

Im not sure if this would matter. i did what you said and still not having any change in stability. i have yet to take out that 770. could that card being in have anything to do with it at all? i have a corsair RM850 psu and its as close as one would be if it were in SLI. I wouldnt think that it would matter other than its drawing power from the psu to be on but idk about uses and if it would affect the 970. on the voltage indicator i can only go to 4 different options +0 +12 +24 and +37. i cant select a specific + on the voltage other than those. also. the power cord used to hook it up comes out and splits for a 6+2 and a 6. Would putting each plug to its own cord make any difference? I did a test using Witcher 3. ran it at 110 power 91 temp target +115 to clock. no memory +. I tried each voltage setting +0 +12 +24 and +37. Each time ran for a little while started to artifact and proceeded to crash. Not sure what else to try, if there is anything haha. I also just did those tests without the 770 in either
