[danielnamatinia02]

Hey!

Im running an MSI mother board (a decent one although im not sure which one).
My cpu : i7 4790k
my gpu : galax gtx 970 hall of fame
16 gb of ram

Any tips on overclocking? Anything you can write would great! Thanks!

I mainly want to overclock for better gaming performance and for streaming on twitch

Yeah you probl. can. Send in your mainboard and Ram pls. so its easier to tell you.
It oc Ram and CPU in Bios and the GPU with MSI Afterburner.

You can and should overclock your GPU using MSI Afterburner or any other software. Reference:

You can OC your RAM but the performance gain and the troubleshooting headache usually isn't worth it. Especially on dual or more channel configurations.

IF you have a Z series MB, you can easily OC your CPU mildly. Depending on your usage, benefits vary. ALWAYS USE BIOS FOR OVERCLOCKING CPU.

If you're a gamer, OCing your GPU should be more than enough.

Also, keep your temps below 80c for long life as OCing increase heat output. You can use HWMonitor.
