I have an EVGA GeForce GTX 970, but I've not got around to overclocking it yet, so the basic question is what program do I use to overclock it.

Also anyone with any experience with this card, what kind of speeds are you getting out of it?
 
Sorry for the late reply on this, was off work today so thought I'd finally play around with it.

I'm a bit confused by it all tbh, when I fired up GPU-Z, it says my core clock is 1165Mhz, but when I run Valley, it says it's 1500Mhz?

This is a picture of stock.

And this is the overclock I've managed to achieve.

Also a pick of the settings.

Just a little confused why GPU-Z is saying 1 thing while Valley is saying another, I just take it I'm reading things wrong.
With the core clock, If I try 1650Mhz, Valley crashes on me right at the start, I've not played with the memory, once I hit 4000Mhz I stopped.
 
I've tried taking the memory speed back to stock, but I can't seem the push the core +100Mhz.
In valley, once the benchmark starts, I get a split second on display, then a blackscreen for a few seconds before it crashes.

Is there some setting I'm missing? I watched that youtube guide, I got core voltage, power limit and temp limit cranked all the way up. Power and temp are linked and it's set to proritise temp.
