Overclocking help
Heres my GPU:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IGQ4Z3S/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

here my MOBO:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-Z97P-D3-LGA1150-Motherboard-USB3-0/dp/B00K9R1OCW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1476576654&sr=8-1&keywords=gigabyte+z97p-d3


i wanna OC them both, im using the evo 212 cooler on ym CPU...

Anyone know of videos for this CPU and MOBO like step by step as im new to this i have watched a few but i can never find the bit there at as they use a different mobo...
Thanks!

You won't make huge gains overclocking that GPU. May be best to leave it be.

But if you still want to, you may consider a program like MSI Afterburner, start by raising the core clock in 5-10 increments, testing in between. Back off a little when you see artifacting or the temperature goes to high. Repeat for the memory clock.

What is your CPU? You may be able to overclock that and see decent gains.

Great GPU. Make sure to purchase the 6GB version. You can use "Easy Tune" overclocking software for that CPU & motherboard if you don't want to do it manually. You may see a little performance boost in games. I have the i5 6600k Skylake and used Easy Tune to overclock my CPU to 4.5GHz. You can download it from the Gigabyte website.

is this easy tune for my 750? and yeah of course the 6gb :D
Edit could you link me to the easy tune?

I would like overclocking help too, bios over clock is supposed to be most effective but I have no clue how to and am currently using afterburner. Also does amd overdrive support non amd CPUs? I only have an amd gpu and would like to know how to GPU over clock too. I don't have catalyst control center instead I have Intel HD control center ;( need that too

Motherboard Software works in conjunction with the branded board, based on BIOS options.

Gigabyte Easy Tune is not universal.

Never indicated that "Easy Tune" was universal. Not sure where you got that from. His motherboard is a Gigabyte model which supports Easy Tune in Utility downloads. That's all.

Here is the link to download the utility for overclocking CPU only with your Gigabyte motherboard. Remember to download and install the "APP Center" utility first before downloading and installing "Easy Tune". Here is the link: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4958#utility

AMD Overdrive is really not that good and it only supports AMD CPUs.

You OC from the BIOS. If you don't understand why, then don't bother diving into OC'ing at all.

There are a million guides out there on how to properly do Overclocking.
Look for a guide based around your Model of Motherboard, or one very close to that from the same brand.

For GPU or Monitor OC; of course, you do that within your OS.
But for safer GPU OC, use something like MSI Afterburner and then make use of the available Profiles you can save changes to. Then, do not use the Auto OC on OS Startup feature. That way if you do have an unstable OC and lose picture, rebooting the system won't result in your GPU OC being re-applied at OS startup, which you don't want. Once you OC your GPU and testing those settings for stability, save them to a Profile #. Then before you launch a game, apply that profile. Use the GPU Default Profile (or Reset OC) for normal OS usages.

AMD OverDrive only works on Motherboards with an actual AMD Chipset, and of course CPU. You can't use that on say NVIDIA NForce Boards, or any Intel platforms.

With an I5 4690k, I got a 4.5 overclock with 1.285 volts. I would start off at 1.2 volts and increase by +0.025 until your system is stable. I usually test if a system is stable by running either aida64 stability test, prime95 or Intel overclock utility for several hours until system crashes or is stable!

Once the overclock is done, I normally set the voltage from manual to adaptive, so that cpu doesn’t run at full speed when it is not needed.

Most modern Motherboards do have overclocking profiles, which make it easy to overclock a cpu. I prefer to do it manually as I tend to get better voltages that way.

Pcper have some helpful guides on Haswell overclocking.

On a side note that motherboard is easy to use, but the fan headers are centred in the middle of the board which is a little strange.
