Just a note: you might stress that when using Afterburner make absolutely sure that "Use at settings at Windows start up" box is not checked. If you are running your GPU hot enough to crash it will be in a bootloop that would make recovery interesting to say the least. Now on a fun note I used this software duo to test my 1660 super and was pleasantly surprised that it produced 116 FPS on ultra during the benchmarking in program, the temps rose a little into the frighten me stage but no thermal throttling happened. This 1660 super has been a very stable, good GPU for me.. Thanks for the time and effort expended on these videos, their editing and their ULing.... and for the ride along down the information highway!
@@CyberCPU So after I get my overclock stable, wouldn’t want it to start on windows start up? Thank you so much for the video I’m really happy with my 3060 but I would’ve defenjtly rather got a TI or 3070 but I’ve been waiting 2 years and I found a 3060 MSRP and this is making it sting a little less.
@@mattsmokes2505 No, it's not a good idea to start the OC at boot. I would just apply it prior to launching a game. There's issues that can happen if the OC is unstable and it starts with Windows. It's easier just to launch it before you play games. That way if the system crashes when it reboots it will just start at stock clocks and you can adjust the OC.
I just replaced a 1660 Ti with a 3060. The Gaming X variant I had before would OC +250 +1000 without a hitch in FH5 High settings. Had difficulty with MSFS...would suddenly terminate. +75 +200 was a better setting for it. But what a badass little card! I'm keeping it for another budget build.
finally someone that also tels you the ingame problem havent seen any talk about this not even the biggers tech tubers this for sure will be a video ill send to people if the need it
I just got my hands on this card paired with a i5 12600k and seeing what this overclocking stuff is and you was by far the most helpful and im loving this build
@@CyberCPU It might be cool if you post your OC settings, i'm looking for a second hand 3060 EVGA like yours... i guess i'll look for the OC model (if there is such a model)
For benchmarking I preffer Superposition Benchmark (1080p Extreme). I read somewhere (but haven't verified yet) that this overclock would crash on Ray-Tracing: ON (but the video shows the contrary), so we'll have to set the core clock at 100Mhz. For Ray-Tracing benchmark use Bright Memory Benchmark. I pushed mine to 250Mhz core clock, 1485Mhz memory clock. I own a Lenovo RTX 3060 12GB LHR (Lite Hash Rate) OEM
@smtrejo I'm trying to overclock it for helldivers 2 to squeeze the use out of it before getting a new one. It used to work just fine at 200 core and 1150 mem I'd get 5 to 10 fps more at 1440 now it just crashes and refuses to even start at any changes whatsoever. Only undervolting the gpu works now since the last helldivers update.
Didn’t know that gddr6 comes stock at 7500 mhz on that 3060. My 3070 comes stock at 7000. But maybe due to the lower bit bus on the 3060 vs 3070? Edit: use shadow of tomb raider ingame benchmark. I found if your card is too far overclocked it will crash where as it will pass timespy and heaven.
STR is pretty much my biggest limiting factor in my overclock. Right now I'm on 180 core and the only reason is because of STR. Everything else ran fine at 200 core but shadow crashes. Red Dead Redemption 2 crash's too but only after a couple hours of play.
Yeah, right. I had a water-cooling, until my Motherboard and CPU started reaching 100 degrees temp, and my PC shut down. Cost me 1800 euro to repair. No more water cooling for me, ever. What was i thinking ?... water and PC's DON'T mix... I now have over 100 FPS in most modern games on ultra settings, In some cases even 200+... and a temp of just below 40 degrees on both MB and GPU. even after over 24 hours of gaming. Works for me... No overclocking needed here. But as usual, your video's are fun to watch and damn informative... Keep them coming.
water cooled pcs don't use actual water. they use water that has no minerals in it because it isn't harmful to the pc. were you using actual water to cool your pc????
Run GPU-Z check what memory brand you have on your card. To me it looks like you have Samsung memory because their memory is good in overclocking. Micron memory is usually very very bad at overclocking. Also you should check out undervolting that could yield you even better OC. Also I have found usually it's best to open my side case door open while I'm gaming or benching. Looking forward to your card MOD's.
I might try undervolting. However, GPUz currently says it's voltage limited. I had a fan blowing directly on it mounted to the bottom of the case. So it was getting very fresh clean air. I was thinking about doing a shunt mod on it. However, I don't think it will help. The card rarely goes to it's power limit of 190w.
I just checked the memory in GPUz and it's Hynix. Still gets a pretty good overclock though. 1.3Ghz over stock is definitely good. I wish I could get a 1.3Ghz OC on the core. 🤣😂
@@CyberCPU @CyberCPU Tech Sorry I mixed Hynix with Micron! I have Micron on my Gigabyte 2070 Super very bad mem overclocking & on my Gigabyte 2080 Super I have Samsung memory & it has good overclocking ability. Looking forward for your card experiments! Undervolting sometimes gives better OC you have to find that gold spot. Give it a shot you never know untill you try.
While I love watching and learning this over clocking stuff, I'm also too chicken to try anything like it on my laptop GPU. Keep them coming, you may make a man out of me yet...
Look, even if you wanted to, you cannot harm it. Everything you do has hardware and software protection. It is dumb not to do it, rather than to do it. Just stay away from voltage stuff if you chicken too much (in your words)
Dont forget you need to add a correction formula for the mem speed in MSI after burner to show the correct MT/s (as its not really MHZ thats just marketing as it sounds better) Under the Memory Section in Monitoring settings you need to add X*2 in the correction Formula section so it shows the Correct 15,000MH/s (mhz) for the Mem speed.
Wouldn’t there be a difference in the load on the graphics card if you’re playing at full screen since it will have render a much larger image as opposed to just running it in the background?
The benchmark software is automatically assuming your monitors resolution. It may look like it’s being run in windowed mode, but in reality it’s testing it at its native resolution.
doesn't the gpu fluctuations are just related by the graphic density it has to deliver in each moment ? polygon number and so on ? i'd like to get a 3060Ti but in the same budget my priority must be Vram since i need it for work... thanks for the video !
The OC cards never overclock very well because they are already factory overclocked. You typically get a lot more overhead from a standard card then an OC card. However, the OC cards start out at a higher clock so ultimately you do get the benefit of a better bined GPU. So the final clock speed of the OC card will likely be a little higher even though the overclock is a little lower. If that makes any sense.
@@inflameFX So what did you set on Core and Memory? I have the same card and it looks that 220 core and 1000 memory works fine, but I didn't test much, just benchmark.
At some point memory oc even if it doesn't presents artifacts it becomes detrimental. It won't show artifacts because of memory corrections but no benefits, usually you even get lower performance. My vram can go above from 1000mhz+ but it's optimal value rests at 360+.
I play at ultra on most games, and temp never sees over 74c, on average 64-68c, idle(You Tube+ Browsing) it's at 38-40c. It has a lot to do with case flow. I also grabbed a couple Sony projector fans(the snail type, to help the push/pull flow in the case, that alone brings me 4c lower. My setting's(MSI) are: +10 core v, +188 core clock, +222 mem clock(this can be improved by replacing the suck thermal padding on the memory, I've seen up to 800 after card rebuilds), 100% p. limit/84c t. limit(stuck there, it never see's 80c, ever.), custom 8 node fan curve, hitting 100% at 71c....there are so many version of this card, and every one of them seem different.

When ever someone says "overclocking" it makes me think of putting a nitrous engine upgrade on a pinto. The only time I ever overclocked anything was trying to jump that old AMD CPU's L1 to L4 with a pencil. As far as GPUs, I'm still using a Radeon RX 570 video card.
@@CyberCPU Id have to build a whole new system from scratch. I remember getting a new Power Supply and having to research capacitor placement to heat sinks, the 80 plus ratings, and so on.
I'm at the opposite side 😅 I have an i7 12700F and an RTX 3060 (Windforce 12Gb OC Dual Fan in case it matters, I'm nor an expert). But I've heard from a friend that the GPU might be holding back my CPU and it does lol So how much of an improvement might I get? It's kinda scary for me to start tempering with voltages and overclocking in general (I'm a newcomer to the master race lmao).
Well, the GPU will not allow you to raise the voltage higher than the factory voltage. In reality it's very hard to cause damage to a GPU by overclocking it. You may shorten its life to a certain degree but it's highly doubtful you will break it outright. At worst if you clock it too high the system will just blue screen. No big deal. Just restart and try again a little lower until it's stable.
I cant oc my rtx 3060 ventus 3x 12g oc by overclocking the mem clock...i can overclock the core clock up to 120mhz (Not more, warzone and other Games are Crashing at 130mhz) and my Games Work fine.

I wouldn't copy my settings but you should be able to follow this guide to find out what overclock your graphics card can run. All GPUs are different. Yours might get a higher overclock than mine or maybe a lower one. It depends on a lot of factors.
This sounds intriguing. I’ve never overclocked anything before. Is this sort of technique for over-clocking perfectly safe for the GPU and all other computer components? It’s not going to fry the CPU or memory components I hope?
Well, overclocking means you are overworking the component for more power, so you could fry it. The best way to avoid that is to always a way to monitor your component. If you see the component is getting too hot, might be a good idea to give it some rest. OC is a great feature, just use it with care. Afterburner is a MUST to have, since it has great and accurate monitoring, so I highly recommend it.

my question is what are my options to possibly boost my EVGA 3060 ti xc to Full potential? I'm just curious if I do have any options to get me up to the constant 150 fps mark. I see sudden drops to even 95 fps and this is WITH low graphic settings and I've done the control panel and power options.

I actually get more FPS. I don't get why the benchmarks are in 1080p when 2K is almost similar and actually looks way better. I play my games in 2K and majority are in high settings with the 3060 12vram. Tough games will be around medium to high settings. Haven't tried OC since ive bought it. Gonna try that when I get a chance. I also have a beefy CPU so could explain why is runs better. But I can't go back to 1080. 2k has much more quality for a maybe like 5 fps difference.

@@micky-oe5ic Maybe a little. When you're overclocking you're relying on the silicone lottery. Manufacturers set the default clock to the highest clock they can get across all quality of cores they have. If 10% of them fail to run at a certain clock speed then they will find a clock that works on those and that will be the default clock for all of them. When you overclock You're simply hoping that your specific core doesn't fall into that lower bin that will not overclock as far. When you're dealing with a factory overclocked GPU that ceiling for the max overclock becomes much lower because you're starting out higher than the non factory overclocked GPU. It's like trying to get higher when you're already standing on a step ladder, if that makes any sense.
@@CyberCPU I ended up undervolting it from 1.044V to 0.937V and now I am maintaining 2002 Clock speed (before it was 1920 I think) and did +700 to the memory speed. So ended up getting more performance but much less heat.. temp came from 72 to 65. And still some power is left to use as its not reaching 100% (now its 90 to 92 max)
I run 200/1000 red dead 55fps then overclocked the ram which I forgot to do from 2133 to 3200 ran at 65-75 on ultra settings 1440 ryzen 3600 dlss off and render at 1200 looks beautiful with a little nvidia shading
hey man, i also have a r5 3600 with a rtx 4060, but im not getting enough fps as i should, like if u play fortnite, i only get like around 120-200 on performance, anything you did to make it perform good?
For me RTX 3060 costs the same as Rx 6600xt. It's a better choice that the Radeon at same price because higher VRAM, better overclock potential, dlss, usable raytracing performance, + tons of features for content creation that AMD doesn't have. The raster performance difference between RTX 3060 and rx6600 XT is just 3% in 1080p according to HUB 50 game benchmark. That means both have basically same raster performance.
got my gigabyte 406 eangle yesterday i oc the card 200 at core and 1000 at memory i am getting 4009 on the same score, i am happy with the oc i loose bit on memory but i get some on core i think silicon lottery wise
I max the settings out. I don't remember specifics and I currently have the system running off a test drive for video research. However, I turn everything up to it's highest setting.
@@ANXIETYR6 I don't know. It's best to compare benchmarks before and after rather then system to system. My system may be vastly different then your's and my configuration in Windows is likely a lot different.
On a side note if you want to make sure your oc is computationally sound i suggest Folding@Home once you think its stable. If F@H chucks it out you're not stable.
I dunno bout anyone else but using this card with my I5 12th gen I get no problems on my game and good fps, even on a heavily modded enb Skyrim, 1080p & 1440p above this tho you could receive drops but it’s my favorite card.
It's not uncommon for an overclocked GPU to cause a blue screen. That just tells you you went up a little high. Back it off a bit and you should be cool.
I love how the 3060 can't even do 1440p 60 FPS meanwhile the PS5 does 4k with ray tracing at 60 FPS(Spiderman, miles morales, etc.,) It's pretty laughable.

I have an i7 12700F and an RTX 3060 (Windforce 12Gb OC Dual Fan in case it matters, I'm nor an expert).
But I've heard from a friend that the GPU might be holding back my CPU and it does lol
So how much of an improvement might I get? It's kinda scary for me to start tempering with voltages and overclocking in general (I'm a newcomer to the master race lmao).
Well, the GPU will not allow you to raise the voltage higher than the factory voltage.
In reality it's very hard to cause damage to a GPU by overclocking it. You may shorten its life to a certain degree but it's highly doubtful you will break it outright. At worst if you clock it too high the system will just blue screen.
No big deal. Just restart and try again a little lower until it's stable.
is it safe to downclock, my temps stay at 82c and i don't like it
Sure, but you likely have other stuff going on. Have you replaced the thermal compound?
Undervolting is a good option if you wanna lower your temperature without any significant performance loss !!
undervolt your gpu is a great way to reduce temps, mine was 76-80° stock (at 100% load) but with undervolt it stays below 70° !
I cant oc my rtx 3060 ventus 3x 12g oc by overclocking the mem clock...i can overclock the core clock up to 120mhz (Not more, warzone and other Games are Crashing at 130mhz) and my Games Work fine. As soon as i overclock my mem clock up to 10mhz my Games are crashing immediatly...i cant See any Performance Boost with this 120mhz CC either...
I have a 3060 msi gaming x. But when i change the CORE CLOCK value the gpu Mhz doesnt change a bit. Can anybody help?
After OC what fan speed limit did you set it to?
I typically always leave my fans at 100% while overclocked to get the most consistent boost possible.
i bought my son a new hp pilion ryzen5 6 core 12 threads and gtx 1660 video card he decided he doesn't want to game on pc..so i;m stuck with it...i don't game or have intrest

Nice..Can i use these settings on my asus phoenix rtx 3060?
I wouldn't copy my settings but you should be able to follow this guide to find out what overclock your graphics card can run.
All GPUs are different. Yours might get a higher overclock than mine or maybe a lower one. It depends on a lot of factors.
This sounds intriguing. I’ve never overclocked anything before. Is this sort of technique for over-clocking perfectly safe for the GPU and all other computer components? It’s not going to fry the CPU or memory components I hope?
Well, overclocking means you are overworking the component for more power, so you could fry it. The best way to avoid that is to always a way to monitor your component. If you see the component is getting too hot, might be a good idea to give it some rest. OC is a great feature, just use it with care. Afterburner is a MUST to have, since it has great and accurate monitoring, so I highly recommend it.
so is it safe to oc vram +1000 for rtx 3060?
Yes. Mine has Samsung chips and overclocks to +1250...
nice that you have more than 100% power limit, set to 111%, :P lucky you. Most of us are stuck at 100%

Sounds like a decent frame rate. Not sure what your question is.
my question is what are my options to possibly boost my EVGA 3060 ti xc to Full potential? I'm just curious if I do have any options to get me up to the constant 150 fps mark. I see sudden drops to even 95 fps and this is WITH low graphic settings and I've done the control panel and power options.

Why is your core voltage set to 0
I seen a guy say to put that to 100
Please reply
I actually get more FPS. I don't get why the benchmarks are in 1080p when 2K is almost similar and actually looks way better. I play my games in 2K and majority are in high settings with the 3060 12vram. Tough games will be around medium to high settings. Haven't tried OC since ive bought it. Gonna try that when I get a chance. I also have a beefy CPU so could explain why is runs better. But I can't go back to 1080. 2k has much more quality for a maybe like 5 fps difference.

Do I leave the fan speed power limit and temp limit at max?
I have an msi rtx 3060 ventus 2x OC edition with the msi z690 pro A motherboard.
I can't seem to go beyond 100% power limit as the slider in msi afterburner is maxed out at 100%. I tried overclocking +150 on core clock and 1000 on memory clock but it crashes. Can you tell me how to fix the power thing, I even tried putting 110 manually but it doesn't go past 100.
Typically the OC cards are already factory overclocked and don't have much headroom. You typically get way better overclocks on the base versions.
@@CyberCPU so it means I can't overclock it further more?
@@micky-oe5ic Maybe a little. When you're overclocking you're relying on the silicone lottery. Manufacturers set the default clock to the highest clock they can get across all quality of cores they have. If 10% of them fail to run at a certain clock speed then they will find a clock that works on those and that will be the default clock for all of them.
When you overclock You're simply hoping that your specific core doesn't fall into that lower bin that will not overclock as far.
When you're dealing with a factory overclocked GPU that ceiling for the max overclock becomes much lower because you're starting out higher than the non factory overclocked GPU. It's like trying to get higher when you're already standing on a step ladder, if that makes any sense.
@@CyberCPU I ended up undervolting it from 1.044V to 0.937V and now I am maintaining 2002 Clock speed (before it was 1920 I think) and did +700 to the memory speed.
So ended up getting more performance but much less heat.. temp came from 72 to 65. And still some power is left to use as its not reaching 100% (now its 90 to 92 max)
@micky wait I have the same gpu can I use this

hey man, i also have a r5 3600 with a rtx 4060, but im not getting enough fps as i should, like if u play fortnite, i only get like around 120-200 on performance, anything you did to make it perform good?
Check if dlss is enabled@@thecancellar9072
Why do I think this damages the card?
Because it does, higher temps, not normal voltage, etc
damn my 3060 eagle oc cant go over 130 core and 350 memory .-.
So Finally Mr Jason Momoa Started making youtube videos 😂
Still a way overpriced card. Gamers do seem to be willing to pay anything for such cards and continually enable the manufacturer over pricing.
I don't think it is. It was $370. That's actually a pretty good deal I think. That's what I paid for my 1660 non TI.
For me RTX 3060 costs the same as Rx 6600xt.
It's a better choice that the Radeon at same price because higher VRAM, better overclock potential, dlss, usable raytracing performance, + tons of features for content creation that AMD doesn't have.
The raster performance difference between RTX 3060 and rx6600 XT is just 3% in 1080p according to HUB 50 game benchmark. That means both have basically same raster performance.
@@DutchDriverr it is. I still love my non-TI 3060. Play games on it all the time. Works great.

@@ANXIETYR6 I don't know. It's best to compare benchmarks before and after rather then system to system. My system may be vastly different then your's and my configuration in Windows is likely a lot different.

overclocking to achieve 10% boost , it is not worth it, better to buy new GPU
Was test
my pc got bluescreen dont try this at home.
It's not uncommon for an overclocked GPU to cause a blue screen. That just tells you you went up a little high. Back it off a bit and you should be cool.
That's super common when testing. Like he said, try not to go too high on the core clock. You can play with the memory clock way more and be stable.
180 - 1100 without problem and also my cpu fan is at 0%
Is that dangerous?
+200 +1400 => 2fps in 4K (3060 eagle 12gb), no sense for OC
mmmm
how did you manage to unlock the power consumption ?
Msi Afterburner is now Malware now
Based on what?
How
I love how the 3060 can't even do 1440p 60 FPS meanwhile the PS5 does 4k with ray tracing at 60 FPS(Spiderman, miles morales, etc.,) It's pretty laughable.
That's the power of lowering graphical fidelity to keep framerate higher.
