How far can I overclock my Gigabyte R9 280X 3GB OC Edition?

[_Hydra_]

My PC Specs are:
Mobo: Gigabyte Z97-HD3
Ram- 8 GB RipJaw 1600Mhz
GPU: Gigabyte R9 280X 3GB OC Edition
CPU: Intel Core I5 4590 3.3GHz
Case: CiT Vanquish

The CPU and GPU have stock fans, no extra fans besides the ones that came in the case.

How far do you think I can overclock my GPU?

HERE is some information in regards to overclocking. The article indicates AMD processors but the point is usually the same.

You can also go to the overclocking forums here at Tom's found HERE. There is several really nice guides there as well.

Gigabyte and MSI cards of late have had very similar overclocking abilities.

All in all... do it at your own risk.

Agreed. Something else to keep in mind:
- If you make an adjustment and notice issues, reverse the adjustment. Its usually an indication of something not behaving correctly.
- If you made a change and are feeling weird about it, its probably not a good one.
