i dont OC much, but if your gpus are in crossfire , you are using both of those gpus.

while OCing , if your system shuts down , you mostly have high tems and need a better cooler or you need to reduce the oc

if you get artifacts, step the OC down a bit. NOTE- sometimes if it is too high it might cause permanent damage


more than insane stress tests like furmark , i suggest running demanding games like ac unity or dragon age

I don't have much experience overclocking but I believe you should overclock with MSI afterburner, anyone in the comments can correct me if I'm wrong. I did overclock using MSI afterburner once and it was pretty simple, you can even save the overclock profile you want. Download GPU-Z and a benchmark software of your choice and see how they perform under full load. To figure out which one is giving you a problem (like BSOD for example) take one out and see if it does it, if it doesn't see if the other one is causing it. Sorry if I didn't help that much.

do you meant that both gpus are not being used? enabled crossfire profile in amd? usually if crossfired , both gpus are simultaneously used

do you have the latest version of furmark? funny....

anyway if you want to tes your system for now crank up a game to the max and monitor using msi afterburners graphs.

i' leave this problem to some one who has more experience on ocing than me.Sorry!
