Considering my card is a special case, I'd recommend you use MSI Afterburner. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

I can't argue this because you're always taking a risk anytime you overclock something from the norm. But that's what makes tweaking fun, and dangerous if you're not careful
