Unsure of how to overclock my gpu safely

[dj12134]

Hey guys,

I recently bought an R9 270 and found it had a default GPU clock of 975mhz so I put it up to 1100mhz. I then saw the GPU memory underneath and panicked because I wasn't sure if that had to go up or down depending on the clock I did,
Some help on this would be great.
Thanks,
Patrick

memory overclock is never worth it, leave that stock

make sure to monitor gpu temps with something like msi afterburner though

make a custom fan profile to keep things cool, if your max temps stay under 80 degrees then you are golden

also, it is always best to just try get as much core mhz with stock voltages as you can ( unless you are under water )
