How do I use oc genie on Msi z97? I toss the manual out.

I've got a pc with an i7 4790k gtx970 and 16 gb ram. Just wanted to know how to use oc genie. Also is the msi gaming app safe to use on the msi gtx 970. Is there any risk of shorter gpu life?

Don't use automated or software-based overclocking tools for the CPU, learn to do it manually via the BIOS. You'll have greater control over the settings you need and can diagnose issues that arise.

If you're new to overclocking, start here; http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/272214-29-wolfram-beginner-guide-overclocking.

Overclocking is perfectly safe if you know what you're doing.

Thanks for the help but I'm afraid to do it myself. I already fried on CPU and a gtx 960...
