Hi Guys :)

Really want to ask you guys what percentage should I put the sliders on Crimson for my Rig?

I bought not to long ago:

Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151 OVERCLOCKED

Asus Maximus VIII Gene Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Micro ATX

Panram Ninja-V 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz

PC Powercolor Radeon R9 390X 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express

Samsung SM951 256GB M.2 PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMe Solid State Drive

x2 Seagate 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache HDD -

Antec EDGE 650w 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular Power Supply


What I'm looking for is safe to optimum settings I can input on the sliders. GPU Clock, Power Limit and Fan Speed. It'll be good to get a professional opinion.

Cheers!:D
 
Firstly, I wouldn't use crimson for overclocking. Download MSI afterburner.

Secondly, there are no universal settings for overclocking. Even with the exact same make and model, every card is different. It's a gradual process of increasing things and testing for stability and temps.
 
As above, drag the power limit to the max. There's no "optimum" setting for core/mem speed however as each 390X is different.
 
Thanks guys very helpful. Ill be testing it see if its all stable. But if I put the power lvl to max what should the GPU Clock speed be rounded of too?

If every card is different wont it burn out my card?
 
Mine clocked at 1120Mhz with nothing more added. Above that and it quickly required a LOT more power and tinkering. For the sake of 50Mhz or so and considerably higher temps. I just left it at 1120.
 
also disable power effiency in crimson settings

Not really any need for that.

The power limit is basically just how much power the card is allowed to draw, meaning if the card reaches that power limit, it will underclock itself. As you're overclocking ideally you want this limit gone so it doesn't affect the overclock.
