Hi,
I have a some questions regarding overclocking.
I have recently purchased a hd 7850 and I am looking to over clock it to get extra fps on skyrim and crysis 2. The card I have is here:
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-xfx-radeon-hd-7850-core-edition-4800mhz-gddr5-28nm-gpu-860mhz-1024-cores-dvi-hdmi-mdp
I am using an Asrock z77 Extreme 4 mobo woth an intel i5 3570k.
My questions are:
1. Will my gpu OC well on its stock cooler?
2. Will it be worth overclocking?
3. Will the life of the GPU be shortened?
4. What will the safe max temp be?
(I ran Furmark with gpu @ stock speed on 1920 x 1080 with 4X MSAA and maxed a gpu temp of 69C)
5. Should I use bios or Software?
6.What should I use to test stability?
7. Can you point me to a good tutorial?
Sorry for all the questions, Never OC'd b4
Thanks
