    So ive been playing with msi afterburner and overclock the 680m on my R4. Im just wondering if i can hurt anything experimenting with the clocks of core and memory on afterburner as long as the temps are kept low? Like.. i've gotten it to 135 core (max it allows) and 600 memory. I played with higher, like 1000, 800, and 700 but it seems to crash at some poitn with that "kernal stopped working" or something error. I was wondering if this can or does damage the card? I know if you play with voltage thats dangerious but what about playing like this? Thanks.

    It can, but as long as you monitor temps you SHOULD be ok. The 680 is a beast , why even over lock right now?
