How do I overclock my CPU and GPU safely

[StevenWest]

Sure! Here are five different ways to approach that question:

**Take It Slow**: Start by tweaking your CPU and GPU settings in small increments. Use software like MSI Afterburner for your GPU and your motherboard’s BIOS for the CPU. Monitor temperatures and performance closely. Don’t push it too hard right away!

**Research Your Hardware**: Make sure to look up guides specific to your CPU and GPU models. Each piece of hardware has its limits and best practices. YouTube has some great tutorials that can walk you through the process step by step.

**Use Stress Testing Tools**: After you make adjustments, run stress tests using tools like Prime95 for the CPU and FurMark for the GPU. This will help you check for stability and overheating. If things get too hot, dial it back a bit.

**Keep an Eye on Temps**: Always monitor your temperatures while overclocking. Use software like HWMonitor or Core Temp. You want to keep your CPU under 80°C and your GPU under 85°C for safe operation. If you’re hitting those numbers, it’s time to back off.
