OC tools

[Stupid_Newbie]

Im wondering what OC tools/programs are recommended?

I just got my system below running, and was just messing around checking stuff out. Figured id get MSI afterburner as I have used it before, and my card is MSI. But it doesnt allow shader clock mod, voltage mod, or a core clock over 840 (stock is 810 for the card). I see a lot higher overclocks around the web. So what tool should I look at?

For the video card?Just use MSI Afterburner.

To break the CCC clock limit in AB,you'll have to follow the instruction here:

And you can't adjust shader clock independently with AMD based card since the shader clock runs at the same frequency with the core clock.

what he said, you have to paste in that eula string and set a value

What about a good temp program for CPU etc with OSD?

sorry, I've never had much luck with OSDs...no advise there

also, I have found all these OC tools to have their own flaky annoyances. Others may disagree but IMO there is no single go-to program that really gets it right. I find myself using smart doctor for voltages, afterburner for fan profiles (don't forget to disable ULPS in the registry every time you update drivers or afterburner will crash the box) and CCC for the +20 power cap. Of course they all interact and fuck with each other...very annoying.
