Hello .
I recently just bought a nice Asrock extreme 4 motherboard and i5 3570K (both are awesome!)
I have a Gigabyte GTX 560 factory overclocked to 830Mhz—and I think I can get a bit more performance out of my rig with a little GPU overclocking.
The only thing is, I don't want to put my shiny new motherboard, CPU and RAM at risk.
So my first question is: will a bit of mild GPU overclocking (no voltage increase, I have an antec 300 case, very cool and roomy) put my other components at risk?
If not, what's a good overcloking program to use? Should I use Gigabyte's one?
Should I change only the core clock frequency and leave the other parameters alone? When i'm not playing a game with very high quality graphics, should I turn it back down to defualt? Is changing the core (or other) clock rates frequently bad for the card?
Thanks so much for your replies!
