I am putting a new build together this weekend. Sounds like using BIOS to OC ram using XMP profiles and the auto OC functions on my MSI mpower titanium is child's play and safe.

I haven't seen much about ocing gpu's. Is that a different type of task?

Use MSI afterburner, Asus Tweak, His iTurbo, EVGA PresisionX ect. to overclock the GPU. Use OCCT's GPU test with error checking enabled to test.

Move only one clock at a time and test after each change.

Start by adjusting the clock speed by 20 MHz at a time testing for 30 mins each time till the the program reads errors. Back it down by 10 MHz each time till it stops erroring, then up by 5 till it errors again then down by 2's till it stops then up by ones till it errors then back it down one then you will have your max overclock for that clock. Writer the clock speeds down reset and move on to the next clock so on till all clocks have reached the max stable clock speed. Put them together and and test for 30 mins again to ensure...

Its not that hard just a bit time consuming as you have to stress test it after OC.

Can you help me with any trusted links on stress testing? Being new to overclocking I obviously am out of the loop. I understand what it is and why, but most directions just say do it. I'm not sure what with or how doing it for 24 hours works. If I leave it for hours or run it while I sleep, does it just stop if it fails or do I need to be doing more active observing than that?

Thanks.

Writer the clock speeds down reset and move on to the next clock so on till all clocks have reached the max stable clock speed. Put them together and and test for 30 mins again to ensure all clocks are stable together. If not start backing down the clock speeds by 1 till it is stable.

EDIT: http://www.ocbase.com/ for OCCT and just google one of the fore mentioned GPU OCing programs.
