I want to overclock my Palit GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Dual 4GB GGDDR5 128-bit and my AMD Ryzen 5 2600 to 4.1Ghz, but , I have a few questions:
1.I use the R5 with it's stock cooler(Wraith Stealth), it is safe to overclock to 4.1Ghz? The temps will be ok?
2.Will the 1050Ti resist to overclock? How much fps will I gain?
3.Can my PSU run the overclock?(Zalman ARX, 80+ Platinum, 750W)
 
Solution
Question number three first. The power supply will support an over clock.

Question number two, The 1050ti should also over clock. How much depends on how much Palit has already over clocked it. You have to experiment to find out how much headroom their cooler and voltage limits allow.

Question number one, you can over clock the ryzen.
Cooling will be your limiting factor, again that will take experimentation.

This is what you need to ask yourself. Why do you want to over clock?
(A) For overall performance gains.
(B) For Gaming.
(C) For benchmarking competitions.

Each reason will have a different level of over clock.

(A) The PC is relatively new. Should perform well.

(B) Have you experimented with settings in the Nvidia control...
*overclock.

1) Maybe, 4.1ghz and the voltage required to get there might overwhelm that cooler. If you have a good sample that does not require much additional voltage to run at 4.1ghz it might be possible.

2) Resist an overclock? Not it wont resist it. How much FPS you gain will depend on the game and how far you are able to overclock the 1050 ti.

3) Yes. It's far more than enough for that system with an overclock.
 
Increasing core clocks wont affect temps very much at all, increasing voltage in order to maintain higher clocks stable is what adds heat. However pascel cards like the 1050 ti are voltage locked. So with the 1050 ti stability is going to determine how far you can push your overclock not heat.

Basically you can increase mhz until you start crashing, freezing, blue screening, etc. Heat wont be an issue on that 1050 ti.

(A) The PC is relatively new. Should perform well.

(B) Have you experimented with settings in the Nvidia control panel, (per game). Not global settings.

(C) Your system is your system. They all score differently. This is not an everyday overclock.

Have you optimized bios for your individual components?

Have you optimized windows to work with the bios options you have chosen?

Do you already get smooth gaming and computing performance, or are your fixated on an fps counter?

If you think it should be smoother, see the Nvidia control panel.

These are all questions you should ask yourself before you overclock. Everyone has their own reasons, but don't overclock just to overclock.
