Okay, so I am overclocking my AMD Radeon 8570.

I am using MSI Afterburner and MSI Kombustor.

My card has a normal core clock of 775MHz

I am overclocking and wondering if someone can walk me through it.

Thanks

only adjust the core clock, memory clock and fan speed. increase the core clock bit by bit and each time test it out on a stress test.

It's not hard, just open up Afterburner, find something that says "Core Clock (Mhz)",the number next to it should say 775. All you need to do now is double click on the 775 and type in the number you want to overclock to (You can also use the slider, but I think it's easier to just type in the number). I'd suggest only increasing the clock speed 10Mhz at a time to avoid any damage or issues. To get the most out of it, simply increase the number +10Mhz, and run a stress tester and see if it holds up.
If everything runs smoothly, up it another 10Mhz and repeat the process until you run into instability.

So, lets say you overclocked from 775Mhz, to 810Mhz whenever you receive a BSOD instability or crashes, all you need to do is reboot the system, turn down the clock speed to 800Mhz or decrease it about 10Mhz and continue to use the system like normal. If it runs smoothly an does not have any issues, you have found what is called your "sweet spot".

More accurate intervals would be 100 each time. After your first freeze, decrease the previous number by 50 and try.

Are you kidding? You're going to smoke your GPU doing that.

I'm not kidding. I've overclocked cards many times before, and he will not get anywhere by overclocking 10 mhz at a time then benchmarking.

Well I wouldn't risk my GPU overclocking to those extremes.

That's hardly extreme. I've overclocked my card from 960 to 1350. Nonetheless, no damage will be done to the card unless you overvolt it.

What I mean't by "extreme" was upping it 100Mhz at a time, not the actual clock speed it is overclocked to.

It's not extreme in the slightest. Bumping up by 10 is a waste of time.
