When I had a Sapphire NITRO+ RX 580 SE Lite, the max temperature was in the 60s at stock, while even when overclocked my Gigabyte RTX 2080 Gaming OC rarely goes above the high 50s. AMD cards tend to run pretty hot as is as well, so I would just leave the voltage alone altogether. That's generally how it's done without actually touching the GPU voltage, and I wouldn't recommend touching voltage at all, especially if one has an NVIDIA RTX card as NVIDIA claims that pushing voltage too much, even if it's slight, can significantly destroy the lifespan of the card. If something goes wrong, turn back the clocks by 5 MHz at a time until it does work properly without glitches. If it works without glitches or crashing, good. Now set core and memory clocks to the highest value you set and run a stress test in Heaven. Reset your memory clock back to default (don't forget the highest value you found) and repeat Step 5 for the core clock.ħ. When you see something like that, tone back the clock rate until the glitches stop.Ħ. Raise memory clock rate by 5 to 25 MHz at a time, clicking Apply after each change, until you start seeing graphical glitches like random patches of color or odd star shaped blotches where they shouldn't be. Install and run Heaven benchmark in windowed mode so you can control MSI Afterburner and still watch for graphical glitches.ĥ. Raise the power limit to the maximum, as well as the temperature limit to the maximum.Īdjusting the fan curve to 100% is recommended.Ĥ. Check "Unlock voltage control" and "Force constant voltage" in MSI AB's settings.ģ. If you don't have it already, install MSI Afterburner and run it.Ģ. I believe that the switch farthest from the video inputs might be the "gaming" or stock BIOS, which is what they should have it set to.ġ. Test them both and see which runs better.
