Hi guys! I am a seventy three year old, old guy, who lives in the woods and has time on his hands...I started building a gaming computer for our grand kid's, once a year trip to grandmas house... were Love and Tamales abound!! I love your station, I laugh and learn...very beneficial, and after building a mid range system for about fifteen hundred dollars... I have found I love this stuff, researching, buying, building and believe it or not gaming! hahaha Jay you are a wonderfully entertaining young man, keep going, and now know you have at least one old man watching and learning...from the forests of Oregon, Antonio Armida

'NVIDIA Control Panel' comes with a handy little feature that shows you all the programs on your PC currently using your GPU. Open the 'NVIDIA Control Panel', then go all the way to the top left(where it says 'File', 'Edit' etc) and click 'Desktop' followed by clicking 'Display GPU Activity Icon in Notification Area'. Now you will always have a little icon(for most people in the bottom right) on your taskbar. Left-click it once and it shows a list of things that are hardware-accelerated by your GPU(for me currently it's Firefox because I have HW-accel. turned on there, the NCP, Steam Web Helper and some others). Now you can know what is using your GPU and just close the programs or turn off HW-acceleration in them.

If the things were displayed on a secondary monitor then the performance would've been affected.. and depending on the contents of the hardware accelerated stuff, potentially significantly, as well as causing horrible stuttering in many cases, or 99% of cases if your monitors are different refresh rates. ..But that's out of the scope of the video, so, kinda moot, but still a factor if you have multiple monitors.

Just a tip: At Nvidia CP, at Global Settings, leave Power Management mode to Adaptive (or Optimal), and just set it at High Performance for your games at Program Settings. It's not much, but more lifespan for your lovely GPU.
That does the same thing.. It doesn't matter if you do it for every single program or just enable the global setting which automaticly does it for all programs..
@@ElmoPlayss I think his point is that it will only enable high performance when you're gaming and not all the time. With my GPU, enabling high performance unnecessarily increases my idle temp substantially
@@ownzies100 If the temp increases then it must also be true that idle power draw increases for no good reason too. So that would be another reason not to set it globally. Set it only for games that need that extra performance while leaving global settings and profiles for less demanding games untouched.
I haven't built or modded my own computer since 20yrs ago when I was in college. I haven't bothered modding or tweaking the computers I have bought since then because I simply didn't have time. But now that I have built my own new computer for the first time in forever, I went back and tweaked the now old computer a little bit as a way to learn new techniques without risking the new computer first. Gotta say, just adjusting the two settings in Nvidia Control Panel that Jay mentions made a HUGE difference to the old computer. The video card runs a tiny bit hotter now, but the performance has improved a ton. Just tweaking the old computer settings and picking up a few new parts for it has made a big, big difference. I feel more confident I can apply this new knowledge to get the most out of my new computer. Thanks for making this video Jay!
@@Neiva71 sad but true, OC-ing might give you 2 to 5 fps on games, but that's after loads of benchmark testing etc. Also overclocking might short ( MIGHT) the life span of your gpu.

My favourite way to find the limit when overclocking is: -never touch voltage (longevity) -max out power (if it helps) step 1: set clock to what you'd expect to work (either from the internet, experience or gut feeling) step 2: determine stability. if unstable, that's the new maximum value if stable, that's the new minimum value step 3: set clock frequency to around the average the min and max values you have. step 4: go to step 2. What I've described is a binary search algorithm. The input is a continous value and the output is only the answer to the yes/no question: is this above or below the max and tends to be faster than just brute force incrementing and testing.
Bonus: skew closer to where you'll get a result that takes less time to determine: if rebooting and changing the setting is faster favor higher clocks when searching and vice-versa.
@@AzNbaLLa927 Generally speaking, if you're overclocking: 100%. If you have a beast of a cooling system, find the max you can live with and check if you have any thermal headroom. Overclocking is likely to somewhat increases heat output, even at a constant voltage, in my experience.
I am very glad that I found you this morning. At 73 years old I have decided to take up PC gaming and have no real idea of how to increase the performance of the gaming desktop I bought. You explain things well and help me to avoid taking some preconceived ideas that would have turned into huge mistakes.

Thank you so much for this i just tried heaven benchmarking before and after these changes and it doubled the score on my GTX 970 from 755 to 1498. Insane performance increase by utilising the fan better! Edit i did the clock increase and got 1609.
I know this is an old comment, but any chance you could share your afterburner settings on the 970? Every time I've tried to overclock mine, it's given me an unstable performance, so I always end up reverting it
@@Rich-qs6kn yeah I managed +500 on memory and about +115 on the core. I was able to push the power up to about 127% on my card I believe. Also ensure you really tweak the fan curve, I set mine to rapidly increase as 64c, so it's st 100% at 70c

If you have an AMD card you can kind of do this. For Vega 56 and the 5700, you can flash the Bios of the card to basically trick them into thinking that they're a Vega 64 or 5700xt.
On Global Settings in NVCP, always leave it set on Optimal Power. That way, your GPU will idle when you're in the Windows desktop and the fans won't run. It gives the graphics card low power consumption and very long fan life. You don't want the fans running when the computer is idle or when you're only browsing the Web or watching vids. Set Prefer Maximum Performance in individual Program Settings instead. That way your graphics card will run at full speed (also with the fans running,) *only* when gaming, but will go back to idle with no fans running when your computer is idling and/or in Windows desktop, or doing light-load things like browsing & watching vids. Thank me later :)
Well with chrome I feel like i've had that tank my FPS real bad and other times it doesn't it is solid advice to try to cut down on multi tasking if you value performance that much
Setting the global Power Management mode to 'Prefer Maximum Performance' will keep your GPU at higher temperatures even when you're idling, the fans will also spin to keep your GPU cool. My GPU normally stays at 28-31 (33 in the summer) degrees celsius when idle. When I had global Power Management mode set to 'Prefer Maximum Performance' the GPU's temps were at around 50 degrees when idle, which is extremely high, considering that it doesn't get hotter than 58-59 when playing games without overclocking. You should instead set the global Power Management mode to adaptive and then in the 'Program Settings' tab set Power Management mode to 'Prefer Maximum Performance' for each individual game that's more demanding.
I have a tip: If you are playing an older game on a newer card ( say Assassins Creed 2 on a RTX 2080), setting on a per game profile basis prefer maximum performance as the power mode can help even out inconsistent frame times/rates. Older games can sometimes stutter due to constantly changing GPU power states.
I do this globally, newer games are so poorly optimized in many cases anyway. Optimal Power always hurts my framerates on any game, even games like Battlefield 4 which I push out a consistent 300 (even in small fights, dips into the mid 200s when many things happen but I've optimized it via config/other methods as well), but if I leave it on optimal power it drops almost to 200 and definitely feels off. Warzone is very bleh when it's not set to Max Performance as well.
heh i took that to the extreme by uninstalling windows 10 and replacing it with an old version of windows 7 with the minimal ammount of background processes, it makes my cpu score 15-20% higher in benchmarks
@@virtualtools_3021 Strange as my background processes don't use anymore system resources at idle on Windows 10 as they did on Windows 7. One thing about Windows 7 though is the dreaded Games Explorer bug that pretty much maxes out your CPU usage when running older games.
I haven't heard the term power user for such a long time! I'm old enough to remember Windows with power user options (the good ol days). And yes, I also remember a time before windows existed... I'm old, I know.
I'm too lazy to put the directions, but you go through control panel and set the cpu to the same setting you did for the gpu. You can also increase the page file size to something like 5500mb to improve the memory. I learned most of this from messing around with cemu BOTW.
Sure, but Jay actually did go into overclocking at around 13:53 in the video. The first guy's right, especially since he did acknowledge that Jay didn't try overclocking it at first.
@@FinalStigma yes but he didn't do it because the other tips didn't work. Jay said from the beginning that he was gonna overclock at the end of the vid
It's entirely possible they were also just hiccups. I've run multiple tests in these programs without changing anything, and had different results each time. A lot of this is because of what you don't see happening: clock speed or voltage drops, (the 3rd-ish test he did where he set force constant voltage), or timing changes, CPU changes, even background tasks running. There's a lot happening on your PC that most people have no awareness of, and a lot of it you can't do much of anything about. Disabling those tasks, Chrome, etc... can itself slow down the PC as it is shutting down processes and cleaning up; or it can simply reduce overhead enough that the PC suddenly decides it doesn't need all that power, and then when you run the test it is continuously re-allocating resources. The third test didn't involve over clocking by the way. It wasn't much change, but it was something. To be honest though, I usually don't bother with any of this. I run my PC with minimal software installation, and leave everything at stock, and don't bother with Turbo mode even. Low footprint, as little 3rd party stuff as possible, (which is usually none), and I don't worry about getting really high FPS or awesome scores on these tests. I do however tend to buy the best hardware I think I can afford, and manage high quality builds with what I can get. Power Supply to GPU, I want everything to be quality, efficient products. With minimal maintenance, and long lifespans. I retired most of my last PC after 10 years, and it still works fine, and plays just about any game out today well enough that I had very little to complain about, and I'll be retiring the last part, the GPU, this week. Not every component was 10 years old of course, but the core components: CPU, motherboard, were.
@@FeriteKnight the point is you can waste hours fiddling around with each and every possible setting going really indepth to squeeze out a tiny improvement... and after all it doesn't improve anything enough to even worry about it at all... I basically followed this video without overclocking but using msi afterburner only and it gave a 2fps increase on an openGL benchmark but in "the real world" testing with GTAV benchmark I even ended up with a worse score due to the things you mentioned so even if I get a 2fps increase in games, what now? it doesn't make any unplayable game or setting playable so it's not worth the trouble.. the only way to improve performance without heavy overclocking is upgarding hardware unless there is something wrong with your components that needs fixing/functioning driver etc. I'm not going to risk shortening my components lifespan by overclocking so I'm also on the same boat as you, only that I most likely do a full upgrade a little earlier than 10 years but it's 7 years with my current build still and I'm even reusing my fairly new SSD
Great tips! I have also been building computers for a little over 30 years. I would like to share a lesson learned. This concerns cooling! Positive pressure inside the case will provide better cooling overall! Positive pressure is achieved simply by having more fans blowing in than out. I know this may cause argument, however this is something I have tested real world many times.
I'm seeing an improvement in cooling with my new Phanteks Pro case over my old Antec Nine Hundred because I put a fan in the vented bottom of the case that also draws in air in addition to the included 200mm front intake fan. I also turned my PSU upside down so that the intake fan for it draws from through the bottom vent as well. I wasn't sure it would make any difference, but it sure is. It's the first case I've tried with a vented bottom now I can see the benefit of it after thinking that such an idea was silly when I first heard of cases like this.
I watched this video a long time ago and appreciate how simple these instructions are. My little brother's PC has a GT 1030 and I've been squeezing the life out of it just so he could play Forza Horizon 4 with the best quality without hindering performance. Thank you!
In some cases you will get a smoother experience when you clock your stuff down, especially in Laptops. My Laptop has a 2.1GHz base clock but can boost up to 3.1GHz. In games, it will hit 90 degrees and clocks down to 1.xGHz for just a few ms. Temps go down a few degrees, but you will notice the performance decrease. I use Intel Extreme Tuning Ultility to clock it down to around 2.3-2.5GHz, depending on the game. It wont 90 degrees anymore and the clock it stable. Also works with GPUs. My RX480 really struggles to hold the clock in the summer because it hits the temperature limit which is at 85 degrees. Reducing the clock from 1342MHz to around 1200MHz DRASTICALLY reduces the power consumption from around 140Watts when stressed at 100% to 100-110Watts. Thats around 30W less the cooler has to handle with which can reduce the temperature 5-10 degrees.
Tbh it's comments like this from Jay suggesting that you need to be brave that make people think overclocking is dangerous. Though, he does suffix that by letting people know that it is in fact not dangerous, at least with an rtx card I think he said.
There is a chrome extension called "The Great Suspender". It "suspends all tabs that are not up front, greatly reducing the GPU and RAM usage of all other Tabs that you don't want to keep open.
This video helped so much. considering i have a RTX 2060 it was spot on. I tested rdr2 i got more fps but it also made them more stable. no pun intended. playing before it would go as high as 100 fps with the settings I use and as low as 55 fps. with Jay's settings it holds at about 85 fps and goes as high as 105 fps thx couple extra drops out of my RTX 2060 😁

@@Slow_Biden yeah I understand what you mean but you can actually change it on a game by game basis in the Nvidia control panel, I just do it for games that stutter bad
If you download the beta version of afterburner, you can use OC scan which will automatically set your core clock. It's usually pretty bang on to what the card can do.
@@ascap2854 1000 mems doesn't always translate to better performance. some people say that too much mem OC hurts their performance, but it's from GDDR5 age. it's now GDDR6 so just try benchmarking between 400 with 1000. if 1000 works out better than 400, then good. if not, you know what to do
lilkoolaidmann not for me, that thing gives me a mere 24MHz OC.. but manually I can get it to 103MHz, my card is not a great OCer.. but 103MHz works fine.. stable.
To all new and current PC owners that are starting the awesome journey to the inside of the PC case :) - always be aware about the heat that can build up during long gaming/work sessions and the need to vent this heat as efficiently as possible. As Jay said in his video, heat is detrimental to both GPU and CPU clocks over the long periods of time. In the most extreme cases it can even lower the performance of the chipset or VRMs (voltage delivery system). So don't be afraid to add fans to your PC case. If you have a cheap PC case you could be only getting 1 back exhaust fan as a stock option. It can be enough for office PC, but not for a gaming PC. Having 2-3 intake fans that can get air from the front of the case will improve things. You can always check you motherboard manual to see how many fan connections your motherboard is equipped with. If you still need more than your motherboard will support (some cheaper motherboards only support 1 CPU fan and 1 system fan) you can use simple fan hubs (for example XSPC 8 Way PWM Splitter Hub v2) that will let you hook up multiple fans and even control their speed using your motherboard setting. This is not a free solution, but it can be a cheap one, since you don't need RGB or other "magic" fans to do the job. Decent quality "normal" fans will cost you around $10 or even less per fan. It will let your CPU and GPU boost longer and not hit the thermal limit as fast or at all. It will help your chipset and NVME drives to cool better and not to throttle during prolonged use. It will help you extend the life span of your components, since life span of many building blocks of modern electronics is directly connected to operating temperatures. Furthermore, be aware of the dust. Where there are fans and airflow there will usually be dust. Dust can build up and eventually even clog your CPU and GPU radiators. In extreme cases it can even cut the airflow through the radiators down to almost zero. So be sure to open you PC case once every few months and dust off the interior with canned air or something similar, clean the air filters if your case has them. If you like to smoke near your PC then clean it even more frequently as the smoke combines with dust to make a pain-in-the-behind sticky dust that is a nightmare to remove.

This video was honestly helpful in regards to adjustments to Nvidia Control Panel. I've done plenty of overclocking with CPUs and AMD GPUs but I grabbed a 3070. I was able to increase my 3DMark by a few hundred points. Awesome.

My overall time spy score before touching anything was 19853, GPU score 19828, CPU score 19998 and after that little OC you did in the video I got an overall score of 20341, GPU score 20400, CPU score 20014. The average GPU temp before was 63c and after the OC it remained at 63c. Crazy! I'm going to have to go try this out in WZ 😂
@@Boba0514 honestly after testing with GTAV after getting a 4k monitor I must say that lowest settings in 3840x2160 looks a lot better than medium settings on 1920x1080 this might depend on the game but I'd say the base resolution is most important and doesn't use nearly as much vram as I'd originally thought (only a few hundred extra in GTAV)
The automatic OC utility in Afterburner is even easier and less scary for the uninitiated. Does a great job as well, at least with nvidia cards in my experience. Have not tested with red graphics.

When you are power or thermal throttled you can also undervolt the gpu with msi after burner. This is very helpful for notebooks. I was able to undervolt my geforce 1050 mobile by 170 volts. The simpler way to undervolt is basically use the overclock slider. When you use the slider, msi after burner will shift the whole voltage / frequency curve, so you are using more frequency in smaller voltages. After it you go to the voltage curve window (ctrl + f) and limit maximum voltage you want your gpu to run. I capped mine at 950 mv, which gave 1700 MHz. I could also have capped in the common boost frequency of my card which would be 1500 mhz and ~800 mv. This reduces heat as less voltage is being used and also reduces the power the card is using.
Evga cx3 3070 ti . I did +200 core clock +1600 MHz and adjusted my voltage curve at 900/ 1965 . Static fan speed of 75 and my gpu temps are consistently below 40 C . Should I be ok?
A simple trick I do is setting the RGB to static blue. It runs cooler, clocks higher and I get better fps. I'm talking about 15 FPS minimum. 12/10 would recommend Downloading more VRAM is also a great, free way to boost performance
One of the things I learned back before I got my new rig about a month and a half ago. Is that close anything you're not going to be using while gaming. I mean literally everything. I often just had my anti virus and the game running. It helped the game run better. Now with my new rig I dont really have to care as it's a high end..but it can help greatly.
ya know, i just finished revamping this 7020mt with an albeit expensive 1650oc among other mods. This and a few other videos have led me to messing with a slight overclock of the already OC card, as well as refining my fan curve. Now my fan curve is more like fan spikes, starting a few celsius above idle. Thanks so much for what you do. Even though I'm not quite ready to game just yet (need more peripherals and to move into a new apt), this PC is running LOADS better. I dropped 15c+ off my load temp and I believe that's primarily due to afterburner telling my GPU fans to kick it into high gear. Paired with this crazy negative pressure set up I have (I know, how despicable), my GPU gets fed fresh air directly from the side panel and open PCIE slots in the back of this case. Rear fan feeds fresh air to CPU and PSU. Front fan expels it all (considering the front fan has higher max RPM than rear, and both are running off the same controller). I couldn't be happier. My PC acts like a multipurpose fan, keeping me cool xD Only slight gripes I have with this build at the moment is to direct PSU warm air upwards, with the help of a custom low profile cowl. The point with this cowl is to not let any of the PSU warm air get pulled back in through the rear intake. Not sure how I'm going to make one but my idea is to pretty much just mount it to the bottom two PSU screws. Also, this PC came with 2 optical drive bays, 1 of which used to be occupied by a DVD drive which I've since removed. That leaves me with one Op Drive Bay cover and an open space where the DVD rom was sitting. Although this does act as a viable air intake, I suspect that the Optical cage has so many stamped holes in it that I may need to make a sleeve of sorts to help direct air towards the CPU/PSU instead of flowing in and straight back out the industrial 140mm Noctua that I have sitting up front.

'NVIDIA Control Panel' comes with a handy little feature that shows you all the programs on your PC currently using your GPU. Open the 'NVIDIA Control Panel', then go all the way to the top left(where it says 'File', 'Edit' etc) and click 'Desktop' followed by clicking 'Display GPU Activity Icon in Notification Area'. Now you will always have a little icon(for most people in the bottom right) on your taskbar. Left-click it once and it shows a list of things that are hardware-accelerated by your GPU(for me currently it's Firefox because I have HW-accel. turned on there, the NCP, Steam Web Helper and some others). Now you can know what is using your GPU and just close the programs or turn off HW-acceleration in them.

Just a tip: At Nvidia CP, at Global Settings, leave Power Management mode to Adaptive (or Optimal), and just set it at High Performance for your games at Program Settings. It's not much, but more lifespan for your lovely GPU.
That does the same thing.. It doesn't matter if you do it for every single program or just enable the global setting which automaticly does it for all programs..
@@ElmoPlayss I think his point is that it will only enable high performance when you're gaming and not all the time. With my GPU, enabling high performance unnecessarily increases my idle temp substantially
@@ownzies100 mine stays at 30 or 40 so it's not a problem for me
@@ownzies100 If the temp increases then it must also be true that idle power draw increases for no good reason too. So that would be another reason not to set it globally.

The video card runs a tiny bit hotter now, but the performance has improved a ton. Just tweaking the old computer settings and picking up a few new parts for it has made a big, big difference.

My favourite way to find the limit when overclocking is:
-never touch voltage (longevity)
-max out power (if it helps)
step 1: set clock to what you'd expect to work (either from the internet, experience or gut feeling)
step 2: determine stability.
if unstable, that's the new maximum value
if stable, that's the new minimum value
step 3: set clock frequency to around the average the min and max values you have.
step 4: go to step 2.
What I've described is a binary search algorithm. The input is a continous value and the output is only the answer to the yes/no question: is this above or below the max and tends to be faster than just brute force incrementing and testing.
Bonus: skew closer to where you'll get a result that takes less time to determine:
if rebooting and changing the setting is faster favor higher clocks when searching and vice-versa.
any suggestions for fan speeed %?
@@AzNbaLLa927 Generally speaking, if you're overclocking: 100%.
If you have a beast of a cooling system, find the max you can live with and check if you have any thermal headroom.
Overclocking is likely to somewhat increases heat output, even at a constant voltage, in my experience.

We all know Jay. Download better GPU. Everybody knows!
az zahar Don't forget to also download some RAM and use loads of RGB!
If you have an AMD card you can kind of do this. For Vega 56 and the 5700, you can flash the Bios of the card to basically trick them into thinking that they're a Vega 64 or 5700xt.
I will do this here as soon as I finish downloading the new RAM now from China.
No just a lot more rgb
Fun fact: By downloading an OC bios you kinda download more performance
On Global Settings in NVCP, always leave it set on Optimal Power. That way, your GPU will idle when you're in the Windows desktop and the fans won't run. It gives the graphics card low power consumption and very long fan life. You don't want the fans running when the computer is idle or when you're only browsing the Web or watching vids.
Set Prefer Maximum Performance in individual Program Settings instead. That way your graphics card will run at full speed (also with the fans running,) *only* when gaming, but will go back to idle with no fans running when your computer is idling and/or in Windows desktop, or doing light-load things like browsing & watching vids.
Thank me later :)

READ YOUR MANUAL..?
Setting the global Power Management mode to 'Prefer Maximum Performance' will keep your GPU at higher temperatures even when you're idling, the fans will also spin to keep your GPU cool.
My GPU normally stays at 28-31 (33 in the summer) degrees celsius when idle. When I had global Power Management mode set to 'Prefer Maximum Performance' the GPU's temps were at around 50 degrees when idle, which is extremely high, considering that it doesn't get hotter than 58-59 when playing games without overclocking.
You should instead set the global Power Management mode to adaptive and then in the 'Program Settings' tab set Power Management mode to 'Prefer Maximum Performance' for each individual game that's more demanding.
Solid
Thank you Jay for this video. With the small afterburner tip of yours, my Time Spy benchmark score went from 3376 to 3941!
I have a tip: If you are playing an older game on a newer card ( say Assassins Creed 2 on a RTX 2080), setting on a per game profile basis prefer maximum performance as the power mode can help even out inconsistent frame times/rates. Older games can sometimes stutter due to constantly changing GPU power states.
I do this globally, newer games are so poorly optimized in many cases anyway. Optimal Power always hurts my framerates on any game, even games like Battlefield 4 which I push out a consistent 300 (even in small fights, dips into the mid 200s when many things happen but I've optimized it via config/other methods as well), but if I leave it on optimal power it drops almost to 200 and definitely feels off. Warzone is very bleh when it's not set to Max Performance as well.

I'd love to see this but for the cpu instead. That might really help me.
I'm too lazy to put the directions, but you go through control panel and set the cpu to the same setting you did for the gpu.

"Here are some simple tips to increasse the gpu speed without overclocking."
The first few tips don't do anything...ends up overclocking
That wasn't overclocking. He increased the temp and voltage limit. Overclocking means increasing clock speeds.
Sure, but Jay actually did go into overclocking at around 13:53 in the video. The first guy's right, especially since he did acknowledge that Jay didn't try overclocking it at first.
@@FinalStigma yes but he didn't do it because the other tips didn't work. Jay said from the beginning that he was gonna overclock at the end of the vid
It's entirely possible they were also just hiccups. I've run multiple tests in these programs without changing anything, and had different results each time. A lot of this is because of what you don't see happening: clock speed or voltage drops, (the 3rd-ish test he did where he set force constant voltage), or timing changes, CPU changes, even background tasks running. There's a lot happening on your PC that most people have no awareness of, and a lot of it you can't do much of anything about. Disabling those tasks, Chrome, etc... can itself slow down the PC as it is shutting down processes and cleaning up; or it can simply reduce overhead enough that the PC suddenly decides it doesn't need all that power, and then when you run the test it is continuously re-allocating resources.
The third test didn't involve over clocking by the way. It wasn't much change, but it was something. To be honest though, I usually don't bother with any of this. I run my PC with minimal software installation, and leave everything at stock, and don't bother with Turbo mode even. Low footprint, as little 3rd party stuff as possible, (which is usually none), and I don't worry about getting really high FPS or awesome scores on these tests.
I do however tend to buy the best hardware I think I can afford, and manage high quality builds with what I can get. Power Supply to GPU, I want everything to be quality, efficient products. With minimal maintenance, and long lifespans. I retired most of my last PC after 10 years, and it still works fine, and plays just about any game out today well enough that I had very little to complain about, and I'll be retiring the last part, the GPU, this week. Not every component was 10 years old of course, but the core components: CPU, motherboard, were.
@@FeriteKnight the point is you can waste hours fiddling around with each and every possible setting going really indepth to squeeze out a tiny improvement... and after all it doesn't improve anything enough to even worry about it at all... I basically followed this video without overclocking but using msi afterburner only and it gave a 2fps increase on an openGL benchmark but in "the real world" testing with GTAV benchmark I even ended up with a worse score due to the things you mentioned so even if I get a 2fps increase in games, what now? it doesn't make any unplayable game or setting playable so it's not worth the trouble..
the only way to improve performance without heavy overclocking is upgarding hardware unless there is something wrong with your components that needs fixing/functioning driver etc.
I'm not going to risk shortening my components lifespan by overclocking so I'm also on the same boat as you, only that I most likely do a full upgrade a little earlier than 10 years but it's 7 years with my current build still and I'm even reusing my fairly new SSD

Great tips! I have also been building computers for a little over 30 years. I would like to share a lesson learned. This concerns cooling! Positive pressure inside the case will provide better cooling overall! Positive pressure is achieved simply by having more fans blowing in than out. I know this may cause argument, however this is something I have tested real world many times.
I'm seeing an improvement in cooling with my new Phanteks Pro case over my old Antec Nine Hundred because I put a fan in the vented bottom of the case that also draws in air in addition to the included 200mm front intake fan. I also turned my PSU upside down so that the intake fan for it draws from through the bottom vent as well. I wasn't sure it would make any difference, but it sure is. It's the first case I've tried with a vented bottom now I can see the benefit of it after thinking that such an idea was silly when I first heard of cases like this.
Unless if you live in a hot environment where the pc will inhale hot air

Jay actually looks like a ship's captain.
In some cases you will get a smoother experience when you clock your stuff down, especially in Laptops. My Laptop has a 2.1GHz base clock but can boost up to 3.1GHz. In games, it will hit 90 degrees and clocks down to 1.xGHz for just a few ms. Temps go down a few degrees, but you will notice the performance decrease. I use Intel Extreme Tuning Ultility to clock it down to around 2.3-2.5GHz, depending on the game. It wont 90 degrees anymore and the clock it stable.
Also works with GPUs. My RX480 really struggles to hold the clock in the summer because it hits the temperature limit which is at 85 degrees. Reducing the clock from 1342MHz to around 1200MHz DRASTICALLY reduces the power consumption from around 140Watts when stressed at 100% to 100-110Watts. Thats around 30W less the cooler has to handle with which can reduce the temperature 5-10 degrees.
@@CajunReaper95 That's right. And the trick is to find a clock that it can hold stable so that the performance isn't all over the place.
"Those brave enough to move some sliders"

Flash a modified BIOS you downloaded online and only having 1 BIOS on your GPU. That is what i call "brave enough".

There is a chrome extension called "The Great Suspender". It "suspends all tabs that are not up front, greatly reducing the GPU and RAM usage of all other Tabs that you don't want to keep open.

@@i_am_chubs Does not compute.
To all new and current PC owners that are starting the awesome journey to the inside of the PC case :) - always be aware about the heat that can build up during long gaming/work sessions and the need to vent this heat as efficiently as possible. As Jay said in his video, heat is detrimental to both GPU and CPU clocks over the long periods of time. In the most extreme cases it can even lower the performance of the chipset or VRMs (voltage delivery system).
So don't be afraid to add fans to your PC case. If you have a cheap PC case you could be only getting 1 back exhaust fan as a stock option. It can be enough for office PC, but not for a gaming PC. Having 2-3 intake fans that can get air from the front of the case will improve things. You can always check you motherboard manual to see how many fan connections your motherboard is equipped with. If you still need more than your motherboard will support (some cheaper motherboards only support 1 CPU fan and 1 system fan) you can use simple fan hubs (for example XSPC 8 Way PWM Splitter Hub v2) that will let you hook up multiple fans and even control their speed using your motherboard setting.
This is not a free solution, but it can be a cheap one, since you don't need RGB or other "magic" fans to do the job. Decent quality "normal" fans will cost you around $10 or even less per fan. It will let your CPU and GPU boost longer and not hit the thermal limit as fast or at all. It will help your chipset and NVME drives to cool better and not to throttle during prolonged use. It will help you extend the life span of your components, since life span of many building blocks of modern electronics is directly connected to operating temperatures.
Furthermore, be aware of the dust. Where there are fans and airflow there will usually be dust. Dust can build up and eventually even clog your CPU and GPU radiators. In extreme cases it can even cut the airflow through the radiators down to almost zero. So be sure to open you PC case once every few months and dust off the interior with canned air or something similar, clean the air filters if your case has them. If you like to smoke near your PC then clean it even more frequently as the smoke combines with dust to make a pain-in-the-behind sticky dust that is a nightmare to remove.

This video was honestly helpful in regards to adjustments to Nvidia Control Panel. I've done plenty of overclocking with CPUs and AMD GPUs but I grabbed a 3070. I was able to increase my 3DMark by a few hundred points. Awesome.
I've got a new build: i9-13900k (No OC) 32gb DDR5-6000 and the old MSI 3090 out of my last build and I did your exact OC settings in this video with MSI Afterburner (although with how crazy my cooling setup is I know I could do way more) and it actually increased performance quite a bit! My overall time spy score before touching anything was 19853, GPU score 19828, CPU score 19998 and after that little OC you did in the video I got an overall score of 20341, GPU score 20400, CPU score 20014.

When you are power or thermal throttled you can also undervolt the gpu with msi after burner. This is very helpful for notebooks.
I was able to undervolt my geforce 1050 mobile by 170 volts. The simpler way to undervolt is basically use the overclock slider. When you use the slider, msi after burner will shift the whole voltage / frequency curve, so you are using more frequency in smaller voltages.
After it you go to the voltage curve window (ctrl + f) and limit maximum voltage you want your gpu to run. I capped mine at 950 mv, which gave 1700 MHz. I could also have capped in the common boost frequency of my card which would be 1500 mhz and ~800 mv. This reduces heat as less voltage is being used and also reduces the power the card is using.
Evga cx3 3070 ti . I did +200 core clock +1600 MHz and adjusted my voltage curve at 900/ 1965 . Static fan speed of 75 and my gpu temps are consistently below 40 C . Should I be ok?
A simple trick I do is setting the RGB to static blue. It runs cooler, clocks higher and I get better fps. I'm talking about 15 FPS minimum. 12/10 would recommend
Downloading more VRAM is also a great, free way to boost performance
One of the things I learned back before I got my new rig about a month and a half ago. Is that close anything you're not going to be using while gaming. I mean literally everything. I often just had my anti virus and the game running. It helped the game run better. Now with my new rig I dont really have to care as it's a high end..but it can help greatly.
ya know, i just finished revamping this 7020mt with an albeit expensive 1650oc among other mods. This and a few other videos have led me to messing with a slight overclock of the already OC card, as well as refining my fan curve. Now my fan curve is more like fan spikes, starting a few celsius above idle. Thanks so much for what you do. Even though I'm not quite ready to game just yet (need more peripherals and to move into a new apt), this PC is running LOADS better. I dropped 15c+ off my load temp and I believe that's primarily due to afterburner telling my GPU fans to kick it into high gear.
Paired with this crazy negative pressure set up I have (I know, how despicable), my GPU gets fed fresh air directly from the side panel and open PCIE slots in the back of this case. Rear fan feeds fresh air to CPU and PSU. Front fan expels it all (considering the front fan has higher max RPM than rear, and both are running off the same controller). I couldn't be happier. My PC acts like a multipurpose fan, keeping me cool xD
Only slight gripes I have with this build at the moment is to direct PSU warm air upwards, with the help of a custom low profile cowl. The point with this cowl is to not let any of the PSU warm air get pulled back in through the rear intake. Not sure how I'm going to make one but my idea is to pretty much just mount it to the bottom two PSU screws. Also, this PC came with 2 optical drive bays, 1 of which used to be occupied by a DVD drive which I've since removed. That leaves me with one Op Drive Bay cover and an open space where the DVD rom was sitting. Although this does act as a viable air intake, I suspect that the Optical cage has so many stamped holes in it that I may need to make a sleeve of sorts to help direct air towards the CPU/PSU instead of flowing in and straight back out the industrial 140mm Noctua that I have sitting up front.
