I just installed a new PSU and the GTX 970 into my rig and now I want to overclock my GPU. What should my settings be in MSI afterburner? Also how does increasing the voltage effect the card?
 
Solution
increasing the voltage doesnt have much effect--the card still runs cool and quiet

as for overclock settings just increase a small amount at a time and test--do the memory separately
