Hey everyone!
I'm going to overclock my GTX 970 for the first time and I would gladly use some help. To start off, here are my specs:
Intel® Core™ i7-4790K 4.0 GHz 8MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1150
- CPU / Processor Cooling Fan: Asetek 550LC 120mm Liquid Cooling CPU Cooler - Extreme Cooling Performance (Single Standard 120MM Fan)
- Motherboard: * GIGABYTE Z97X-SLI ATX w/ Intel GbLAN, 2 PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1, 2 PCI, 1 x M.2, 1 x SATA Express, or 6x SATA 6Gb/s
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 (Maxwell) (Single Card)
- 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory
I'm totally new to this and I don't want to screw up. I've read numerous articles and guides, but I'm still a little confused. I'm using 3D mark and ASUS GPU Tweak. I understand that I have to increase GPU Boost Clock and Max GPU Voltage at the same time? What else am I increasing/decreasing? How much can I push it?
Thanks everyone for help. I really appreciate that.
