Hi,
Newbie looking for some help overclocking the following system (used for playing BFV (me), overwatch / fortnite (kids)), apolgies in advance for my lack of knowledge:
ASRock - Z97 EXTREME6 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Intel Core i7 4790K
G.Skill - Ares Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (was 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) but seems to be a problem with a couple of sticks, looking into that).
Noctua NH-D15
Samsung - 850 Pro Series 512 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (system drive, via M2_2 slot, not as fast for drive as M2_1 but allows full bandwidth for GTX1080)
Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1080 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 8G Video Card
Corsair - 730T Black ATX Full Tower Case
EVGA - SuperNOVA G2 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
LG - GH24NSC0 DVD/CD Writer
Monitor - Acer XB271HU A
Are there advantages to overclocking with MSI Afterburner vs the software that came with my board (Gigabyte extreme gaming / Auros engine)?
With either software, when I try values that too high / cause system instability, what's the simplest way to step back to stable values (e.g. if system is too unstable to restart the overclocking software in windows)?
What target values should I be aiming at for this board?
I'm just aiming at a good quality playing experience in BFV. A couple of months ago, started getting poor quality experience (hard to quantify - FPS on 2560*1440 drop down to about 90, plus seems to be a lot of 'lag' / player has moved from image by the time I shoot) partly corrected by quick and dirty oc (4.7 G on cpu (one click oc from asrock uefi bios, yup I'm lazy), GPU clock +130 MHz, gpu mem clock +200 MHz, GPU voltage +60%; FPS about the same but not so much lag), looking to do a better job now.

Thanks very much.
