IS MSI OC Gneie better than normal overclocking?

No it's not better, it will put your vcore a lot higher than it needs to be, that said, if you really don't know what your doing it's a good alternative to messing around in the BIOS not knowing what your doing lol

But yeah once you press the button you don't need to change anything.

As auto overclocking goes, OC genie is one of the best. It's not as good as manual clocking as it tends to use too much voltage, and a fairly conservative clock speed. It does this because it doesn't test it's overclock at all, it just has a look at what hardware you have and applies some settings it knows will work.

There's no harm in tweaking the settings after running genie. Save what the OC button gives you in one of the profiles then go from there. You can almost always lower vcore a bit, or with sandy increase the multiplier a bit further, and if it goes wrong just revert back to the saved settings.

I think this is good advice. My only concern with these programs is voltage. Perhaps the best way is to use the various ocing guides out there to gauge what vcore/vtt/pll/dram voltage you need and once you have a stable voltage via the overclocking program, try scale the voltages back as much as you can. Please also make sure you use Prime Blend as you stress testing tool.
