And I take it the higher I go the more I can play with overclocks?
The morte voltage, the further the core and memory will overclock. Driver crashes, artifacts means the core needs more voltage. Decreased performance (lower fps drops etc) or black screens means the memory is unstable. Add more voltage.
Find your max clocks until stability issues occur then start adding more voltage to make it stable.
Welp, I started BF4 and got a blue screen of death.
Clocks were.
Core 1100mhz
memory 5600
Voltage 1250
Power target 150%
The temp is reaching 81 - 82c but the fan speeds aren't really increasing. Would it be wise to set manual fan controls now to keep under 80c? And I'd love to know where the bluescreen came from.
Add more voltage. Elder is not very demanding compared to bf4 i doubt. Set a custom fan profile as well. Temps are fine around 80c so dontr worry. You're barely overclocked yet.
You can't be serious by adding more voltage. How the heck did the reviewers get a clock at normal voltage and I need to go even higher?
For our overclocking test, we kept to stock voltages and were able to increase the core frequency to 1,115MHz, representing a 6.2 per cent jump. We struggled to maintain stability at 1,120MHz, but found room to manoeuvre on memory, where the 4GB GDDR5 frame buffer on our review sample maxed out at an effective 5,800MHz.
Baby steps my man. Put everything back to stock and start again. Start upping the core only first until you get instability. Then start adding small amounts of voltage until you get stable. Rinse and repeat. Don't take massive jumps in voltage. Go from 1.25v to 1.275v for example.

How long is a piece of string?
Maybe you had a setting drastically wrong by mistake.
Maybe, Am starting to hate this GPU tweak already and much prefer afterburner much like yourself.
Am running Heaven Benchmark at 1440p with
1100 Core clock, 1350 Mv, 5600 Memory clock and 150% power target. No problems, No glitches or things on the screen. So who knows.
Am guessing from here I start increasing core clock till I get a issue then stop just below that, Work memory clock until the same then increase voltage.
Put the voltage back to stock. You're doing it the wrong way around. Voltage should be 1.20v or either 1.25v at stock. Increase core clock until you get problems, only once you get problems start increasing the voltage.
Man overclocking is a pain. Once drivers crash it takes so long to recover and then you gotta load Heaven benchmark back up. Increase voltage and then you slightly touch the memory and it crashes again.
Overclockers must sit here for hours if not days trying to get something stable

Make it simple. Leave memory at stock until you've maxed the core out. Don't do it the hard way if you're still a novice.
Whyscotty is standing in from here on in, LT is needed in the bedroom.
Haha cool, Well thanks for your much needed help anyway.
If scotty is around. All I have to do is leave memory stock, Up core and voltage till I get something I like or get to temps that are stable around 80c with the fans not sitting at something like 100%
