This is my plan. I'm going to be upgrading my Gigabyte 270X for a 290 or 290X in the coming months. So my plan is to try and overclock my GPU without worrying about it burning in 6 months or a years time. Problem is I've never really played with GPU overclocking and the little I tried failed in BSOD a couple of times then I gave up.
So if people give me specs to put into my card to try that would be awesome or if you have one and want a test dummy that's cool to.
Another thing what software should I run? Maybe MSI Afterburner or something else?
My specs:
i5 4670k @ 4.2ghz with Cooler Master T4 Hyper cooler
Gigabyte R9 270X OC Windforce
Asrock Z87 Pro 4
Ripjaw X 16GB CL9 @ 2133mhz
840 EVO 250GB SSD
Thermaltake EVO Blue 2.0 750w (recently found out they can have unstable 12v rails)
The 270X default clock speeds are GPU 1100 / Memory 1400... I have it set it at 1200/1400 plus 5% power using AMD Overdrive without any failures yet but I haven't put it through much load to properly test it.
I have no idea if the voltage helps but it hasn't crashed so I'm gonna run with it unless someone tells me different
