How to OC RX 480

[Mac070]

I have the Asus Strix RX 480 and would like to overclock it to get more performance. Its clocked on 1310MHZ right now. How do i go about overclocking it? I already have MSI AfterBurner and Heaven. I just up the clock 10MHZ gradually while running Heaven?
Thanks....

If you have an 8pin and want beyond 1.4Ghz's you will need a special bios upgrade or a program to mod yours to unlock the voltage limit. The 480 is locked below 1.15vddc and it will take atleast 1.2~1.25vddc to hit 1.42~1.52GHz. I do suggest you first overclock under normal means to see if its enough and if your gpu can take the heat.

Do understand these are risky and I take no responsiblity as only pros should attempt these.

Well I'm definetly not going to attempt installing a new bios as I have no experience with that and don't want to ruin my new gpu. I'll at least try to overclock . I'm pretty sure my gpu has plenty of room for over clocking . The strix has a huge heat sink and 3 fans .
