I need help, I'm unsure whether I should overclock my GTX/AMD.
My graphics card is: GTX 960 2GD5
Core/Memory
1127MHz Core (Boost Clock:1178MHz)
2048MB GDDR5 7010MHz Memory
Video Output Function
Dual-link DVI-I x 1
DisplayPort x 3
HDMI x 1
It only has one fan, which gives me concern. My case does have cooling however, one front fan one exhaust fan on the back and another exhaust fan dedicated for my CPU cooler. My GPU doesn't get too hot during operation however it does sometimes and the fan gets rather loud. I'm not sure whether overclocking my GPU is a good idea.
I also want to overclock my CPU. I'd be more confident in overclocking this because my fans could probably handle the .
My CPU is: AMD FX 8350
I have overclocked in the past and it messed up big time, which is one of the reasons I'm asking now whether I should OC or not.
I also think I've got an air flow issue. I hate a fan blowing in from the front of my case and my CPU cooler is pulling cold air from that stream through a heatsink out of an exhaust fan on the top. Also on the back there's an exhaust fan. Below my CPU cooler is my GPU, it's fans face down and they blow inwards, is my GPU drawing in hot air? I don't have any fans on the bottom of my case.
Note: I have an 500 Watt PSU.
