Good afternoon. I am fresh to overclocking and would like to know a few tips and what not on overclocking the GPU and CPU. I will list my specs below and yes I know they are not the best but its what I got for now until I get my new ones later this year.

PSU - Corsair Gaming Series GS700
GPU - Sapphire Dual-X R9 270X 2G D5
CPU - AMD FX 8320 3.5GHz
MOBO - M5A99FX PRO R2.0
RAM - 8GB Kingston HYPER BEAST
COOLER - Corsair H100i
FANS - 7 Total (2) front Pulling (1) back pushing out (4) on H100i top
CASE - Corsair Carbide Series Air 540
SSD - 1TB
 
Solution


4.8GHz is very optimistic for a FX 8320. And they should not be pushed over 60c in temps.

Not too sure on how I can post pictures on here to show you my CPUz and HWMonitor
If I can could you please let me know so I can add a few pictures and you could tell me if I'm heading in the right direction.
