Nice, a guy with an actual microphone who seems to actually know what they are doing.
And, he doesn't YELL INTO THE MICROPHONE like so many other content creators.... I think we can all appreciate that :)
Thank you so much.
I managed to decrease temps by 15 degrees while gaining like 10 fps in games. super nice
It‘s cool to see someone finally making a understandable guide on how to undervolt!
After undervolting my 2080ti the fans were basically inaudible because of how much the temperature dropped, but that also introduced me to the terrible coilwhine those cards have...
Weirdly enough it helped taking off the backplate?! This seems to be a common solution for Turing cards from EVGA
Just taking off the backplate made the coil whine go away !?!
Anime Thighs Save Lives Yes! I read about it on reddit and thought I might as well give it a shot before I RND my card the third time because of terrible noise and it reduced the whine massively. While gaming you can‘t really hear it anymore over the fans and AIO pump noise of my CPU
I have the EVGA 2080ti XC2 Ultra
Philipp S I have the same exact card. I’ll look into it. So freaking annoying the noise is but as long it runs good, I don’t mind it. Gonna sell it either way when or if the 3080ti comes out.
can't believe that helped you, I took mine off and it didn't help =/
Mine does not have a backplate nor coil whine .... So +1, I guess :D
I would like to add some advice that I was given on Reddit that may help others. start by resetting your GPU settings in MSI AB to stock. Maintain the curve as you adjust points (the slope that is set by default) on the f/v graph by holding CTRL when making adjustments. lock the voltage at points along the f/v curve by selecting a point, then pressing L. To test a lower voltage at the same frequency, hold CTRL while you increase the frequency of a lower point on the curve, then lock voltage at that point. This netted me a 100mhz increase in core frequency stable under load @ .913v. in particular, the curve of the graph as it reaches its max frequency at a given voltage is important to the result (which is why I suggest holding CTRL while making adjustments)
I had no idea this was a thing but I've always been very aware of my PC temps. Now I'm getting higher FPS and went from 73 to 68 degrees. Thank you so much for the great tutorial and all of the great content. I hope 2020 is a great year for you and the channel as well.
In the past, I was impressed with this channel. Now, I’ve been working with Premier Pro to edit some videos for my family.
I don’t know the word for more than impressed. But, that’s how I feel now. Mad respect dude. You win RUclips. Just know, I am inspired by your channel and will likely absorb some inspiration. That’s what those of us without your talent have to do.
You've been flabbergasted.
My 2080 stock ran between 1890-1910 mhz at 1.050v, 70-78 C at stock. I got it running at 1950-1980 mhz at 0.975v, 63-74C and now i got it at 2025-2075 mhz at 1.037v same temps and after thermal paste replacement 52-66 C with a max fan speed of 68%
I got the Asus rtx 2080 strix advanced
That's impressive :0
@@robertjoergensen yeah, i'm happy how it turned out but because of gpu boost i can't get a stable clock speed like on the gtx 970 that i had 4 years ago. (every 5 °C clock speeds go down about 15 mhz)
If only i could turn off gpu boost i probably would be able to maintain a stable 2070 mhz or more .( with some more tweaking)
Damn that's a nice result man :).I only tried this yesterday on my Aorus gtx 1080ti waterforce card and it only dropped my temp by 3c but power consumption dropped around 35 watts ...Might not be anywhere near as good as yours but hey 55c max load temp in a room with an ambient temp of over 30c down to 52c isn't too bad I guess :).My memory is at stock though so might be overclocking that next but not sure if it's even worth it tbh lol.
shit dude. I have a 2070 SUPER Strix. Do you think it's worth it to re-paste just to replace the stock paste? I would be confident in doing it, it'd be a fun project.
what thermal paste did you use?
2:54 Vega
5:38 Navi
8:37 Turing

Lord this helped me so much!
I've been avoiding playing intensive games due to the jet engine of a 2070 super I have. After undervolting, and adjusting the fan curve accordingly, my card is now at its factory clocks (with a little memory OC) and only hitting 73C with around 40% fan speed. My PC is a DREAM to play on now!
Dude you are so underrated. Nobody on RUclips is as clear, with such high production quality. Period. Much love dude!
There is also my (lazy) way:
1. Get benchmark/s at stock settings.
2. Limit the power to, say 80%, apply, and use the OC Scanner to find an overclock. Test again - if you are within 2% of stock results, reduce the power limit to 75%, and go again.
3. Repeat until you fall out of 2% of stock results.
I got my 2070 Super Strix from 255 W to
can you explain what an overclock scaner is? im always lazy.
@@andre713ful There is a button in the top left corner of the MSI Afterburner home screen - "OC", with a magnifying glass next to it.
Click it, then click "Scan", and wait roughly 20 mins for it to finish.
This guide is amazing. Undervolted my rx 480 sapphire nitro and got some great results. was able to undervolt about 130mv. 18C degree reduction 87C to 69C. Power reduction was about 35W. 130W to 95W. My card started crashing at 980mv on the top state so i settled with a 1020mv final setting. Original voltage was 1150ish.
I know this video was posted a while ago, but I cannot convey how appreciated these kinds of videos are. I've been struggling with GPU temps on my 1080ti ever since I moved to ITX, I'm using the Raijintek Ophion (non-Evo) and my card would easily hit 76C during most game sessions. Running Unigine Heaven Benchmark for 30 minutes now and it has stayed solid at 68-69C. Thank you!
Just followed your guide and undervolted my mildly overclocked GTX-1660S from 1,038 to 950mv -- loaded temps dropped from 72 to 67 with no apparent ill effects. Thank you!
Got my MSI 2080 Duke from 1050mV down to 925mV, dropped 6-7C. Still holds strong at 1960-1980MHz and I was able to make the fans run slower too. You are an absolute legend!
Few things I had to do in order to make everything work, enable voltage monitoring and voltage control in the Afterburner settings. Once you find that minimum stable voltage point on the graph, press L to 'lock' the GPU to that voltage, then press apply. I had to do this to get the voltage to drop, not pressing L and pressing apply would not lower my voltage. Looks like this makes the gpu stay at 925mV even when not under load, pressing L may not be the correct solution but I couldn't make my voltage lower any other way. Applying the locked profile, then unlocking it and applying it again made it work like in the video.
TL;DR Enable voltage control in Afterburner and try using L to lock/unlock the voltage if yours wont change.
My stock temps from the Gtx 1660 was from 74-80 and when i undervolted to 900mv it went to 60-67 with no fps drops.
Thanks @OptimumTech
I was about to get the 1660 Gaming x or other brands but the Asus Tuf 1660 was the only model in stock.
BTW The HBM memory voltage on Vega is not what you set it to, it is locked by BIOS to 1.1 on V56 and 1.35 on V64. What you set in Wattman when you edit the memory voltage is the Voltage Floor at which the HBM power state applies to the Core. IE if your power state number 5 on the GPU Core is at 1050 mV, and you set memory P3 voltage floor at 1100 mV, the memory power state will start applying past core state 5 and force the voltage to be 1100 mV.
It basically tells the Core voltage when it should go from its stock power state of 800 (V56) or 945 (V64) to whatever you set manually on the memory.
Bit confusing, and especially now that Adrenalin 2020 removed the ability to force a min power state it can be tricky to get your HBM OC to apply when gaming.
Deliverygirl I uh... don't know what you're talking about. Maybe I shouldn't try undervolting my Nvidia card
@@DollyRanch I'm talking about AMD, it's different on Nvidia, and what I mentioned is specific only to Vega.
@@Deliverygirl Nice profile picture you got it, a man of culture
@@Deliverygirl Btw AMD now is not so good for undervolting?
@@enioapolinario8538 Navi is still good for undervolting, just not as much as Vega. But that's because Vega came overvolted like crazy out of the factory. It literally came at maximum possible voltage stock causing throttling and lots of energy waste. I don't blame the reviewers for saying Vega is hot loud and inefficient, at stock settings it sure is!
Big thanks!
Everyone just keeps talking about oc, but barely uv.
I undervolted my Vega 64, it runs at 1700Mhz on the core and 1140Mhz on the HBM2, it uses 210W at full load in MW and runs quiet as hell at 60C with hotspot never going above 95C (at stock settings it would reach 115C easily). Problem is that recently I've started getting coil whine.
The performance is much better than stock (about 20fps more in MW, about 25fps more in BFV, varies from game to game) and it runs cooler and uses a lot less power.
Hey I have a Vega 64 LCE and I keep getting weird blinking artifacts which I think is from my HBM OC, would you mind sharing your settings so I can try it out :D
@@cuteatheart The HBM is always locked at 1.35V on V64/LC, so it's probably artifacting from heat. I have Samsung HBM and I can go as high as 1150Mhz, but after an hour it starts artifacting, so I keep it at 1140 or lower if the game really hammers the HBM.
You might want to repaste your card if you never did, for me that dropped temps massively.
For LC you can probably aim for 1750 core at 1.1V and keep the HBM at 1125.
@@Deliverygirl i have sapphire rx 470 , after installing the new amd driver,i started to gain out of range black screen for seconds and fps drops to 0 and start to work again for while then do the same thing again ,no overclock or any fancy thing ..do you have any idea ?
First of all. cute name.
And 2 nd .if u ever tried fortnite.do u get weird lag when ur jumping off or landing..my Vega is staying at 60-65 duo to cold weather.and it's not that % limit to 0 .the one u can push to 50%
I thought it was card mistake or driver thing.not sure
@@shadyibrahiem1468 Do you have a freesync monitor?
Disappointed I didn't try this earlier! Was able to undervolt -100mV on a single fan EVGA 2060 which was always bouncing off the 83C temp target & throttling (unless I manually locked fan RPM at 95% or higher) After undervolting it now maxes around 80-81C and maintains a slightly higher clock than before, Core clock usually sits 1905Mhz while playing Days Gone at 99% GPU utilization / max gfx settings / 120fps cap, I was so used to seeing the PerfCap readout in GPU-Z showing Thermal triggers during gaming but now it always sits Idle! Thanks for the guide.
RTX 2070 super fe here. I also went conservative @1890 and 925v. Saw an immediate reduction in thermals from 76-80 in Star Citizen down to 50-56 degrees (running around in station)and for once couldn't hear my fans. SC isn't optimized so it was a perfect test bench. Great vid!
Thanks, this tutorial was incredible. Before undervolting my laptop had thermal throttling, now reach 82 degrees max, I can play finaly since I bought it last year
My man, I came back to this video to remember how to undervolt my 3080. Thx bro. Timeless.
Fantastic guide!
Also, for those who are wandering if Vega 56 can overclock while being undervolted, I'll suggest to try this values:
800mv until P4 then 900, 950, 1050 for the boost P state.
Leave the stock clocks unchanged, set only the boost at 1667 mhz. This way it will boost around 1640~1700mhz.
Power limit must be at +15%.
PS: it will not work at all with other values, only the boost clock can be changed, down.
For the hbm, it depends on the manufacturer, I use 960mv and 960mhz, this values will guarantee that the overclock on the memory is actually used.
Really like your content man. I've been binge watching for a few days low key and I really like what your putting out. Very helpful stuff
been waiting for this, uploaded on my birthday too
Yep. Love the production quality and the information as well. Will be applying this. Thanks!
EDIT: In case you're curious, got an ASUS RX 470, 4GB Mining that I'm, in fact, using for mining. Once I'm done repasting it with Thermal Grizzly's Cryonaut Extreme and servicing the fans (if applicable as they use industrial grade ball bearings) I'll test the temps and see if overclocking followed by undervolting is possible or go for the undervolting directly.
IMHO cool temps are more important than overclocking as semiconductor resistance increases with heat and that kills the operational frequency of the GPU (for anyone that doesn't know).
I dialled in a 100MHz OC on my 1070Ti with 80% power target and 70C temp limit. It will typically boost to around 1950MHz, and it stays waaaaay quieter than the old "max all sliders" method.
Hands down best guide I've used so far. Got my 3060 from 83°C to 74°C, much quieter fan during parts of games that would cause it to blow like a jet engine.
Great, thank you for this easy to follow along guide.
I was able to set the voltages of my EVGA FTW3 1080Ti to a maximum of 950mV at 1910Mhz (originally 1044mV) and have it stable. This resulted in the overall temperature of all parts of the GPU being at least 4°C lower. Maximum fan speeds were also lowered by about 100 to 150 RPM, this is sweet!
Thanks bro I was running 70-77c gpu and 90c junction on my 5700xt running uniengine now I'm getting 63-65c gpu and 75-79c junction 👍
Where's Waldo yeah my sapphire ran pretty hot prior to this tweak. great stuff.
Your gpu runs that hot? mine 30 idle and 58 max
@@one-minutemetal1290 mine runs at 79c max lol. Ambient temperatures also matter.
my gpu runs at 80-83 at 100% usage lmao
@@ZzSlumberzZ yeah in the uk the weather is hotter im running at 68 degrees max but it gets lower over time
I have a noisy evga 1080ti, 1 month ago i undervolted it, and replaced the paste with liquid metal. -12C! 100% worth it
That's a cool guide, but if I may, I think a GPU undervolt bios flash guide could be even more usefull since there isn't much information for beginers on this subject
THANK YOU SO SO VERY MUCH!!!
My Vega 56 kept crashing under heavy load, but my games would still run. This was driving me crazy. Someone on Reddit said I should undervolt my GPU and your video saved the day!
For anyone trying undervolt/overclock your Vega 56/64 card, DON'T use the AMD Driver undervolting, it doesn't work on certain cards, for me it changed absolutely nothing in undervolting but it does overclock.
Use OverdriveNTool, download the newest version and set up a profile and only change the voltage of the last two p-states.
I managed to get 1570mhz on 894mv easily, also don't let your Hotspot temp go over 105c
thanks, my 1080 ti dropped from ~70c to now 60c, and I was able to lower the power draw from around 260 to now 210 watts!
i have RX 5700 XT Blower
Undervolt settings: 1906mhz - 0.997v (media clock's 1840mhz)
I From Brazil so hot... 30 degress media ambient temp's...
My graphis card 74 degress max... i Happy! :D
Wow 74 degrees?! I’m my roommate has the power color blower and it runs in the 90’s. I’ll share this with him
brilliant! this is invaluable for getting my already quiet studio pc even quieter very important in audio production in a small studio
My GTX1060 is running for over a year undervolted to 0.95v from 1.05v stock at 1950Mhz. I've tested it for stability in all benchmarks and variety of games. GPU temperature has drop 8 degrees Celsius in same conditions /ambient temperature as well as the power consumption has dropped atleast 25 watts. Finally, be sure to test with tessellation at maximum for insuring stability in tessellation dependent games .
@Optimum Tech, could we get The Ultimate CPU Undervolting Guide next?
Jesus your explanation on nvidia undervolting is so much better than literally everything else I’ve seen
Earlier, I undervolted my 1080ti using a different guide, reaching 800mv for 1600mhz, going through this guide, I actually managed 900mv on 1898mhz which is just shy of max boost clock, but temps dont even go past 60c.
This has been going for a month now, so far so good.
Loving the new colored mats. Are they just quality construction paper, vinyl?? I'm intrigued :D
On the MSI graph screen, where is the 'Click apply' you speak of?
excellent video. i think lots of tech tubers don't even understand how those GPU boosts work at all, at least they never explain it. kudos for you actually doing it. i also like how afterburner messes up the axes of the U(f) curve :)
Using a Sapphire Nitro+ RX5700XT, I sightly lowered from 1.35v to 1.1v and the frequencies are more smooth, most of the time 2043/2051 temp are lower such as power draw. It seems to be the sweet spot. I didn't try to move lower since I'm very happy with this setting. Thank's for your help.
Thanks bro.
Zotac mini 1060 3gb results:
Before undervolting:
1060mv 1822mhz 71c
After undervolting and rising a little bit clock:
925mv 1885mhz 63c
From 107w to 81w power consuption on max load. Sick!
Wow thank you so much my 2080 ti was overheating way above 90degrees in my 011 dynamic... now its 75 max
OH MAN, this video helped me solve a really annoying instability I've been trying to track down for ages and was completely random. Turns out some time ago when I had no idea what these tools really do I ran OC scanner on my 1080Ti and it set a low voltage at one specific frequency. Ever since then I've had completely random crashes in games and I couldn't pinpoint anything (Drivers, hardware, software). Furmark hit the power limit and stayed under the bugged frequency so it could burn for hours with no issue. Some games ran perfectly (Halo MCC) and some crashed within minutes (black mesa). That single bugged frequency/voltage point has been a thorn in my side for like 6 MONTHS. I even returned Borderlands 3 because I thought the game was badly made. Also my 1080Ti is now 49c while gaming, noice.
My new Clevo laptop with RTX 2080 was already doing one heck of a job with the thermals on Warhammer total war, only capping at 78C with GPU at max load.
Cant wait to test that out after the undervolting!
Thx for this amazing video. I undervolted my evga RTX 2070 XC Gaming: 1830MHz - 865Mv (normal 1875-1890MHz 1.05-1.1Mv) = drop the temps from 72 -> 64; drop the fan speed from 2235RPM -> 1880 RPM; drop the powercon from 185W -> 135W . Im realy happy!
Worked a treat on my 2070 super, able to run much quieter for the same speed, thank you!
witch settings did u use? pls screenshot and send it to me. Robjako0410@gmail.com
@@robinjako7272 Just did exactly what he did in the video
EDIT: Kept playing around. Got the core to 2040 MHz@1.068mV same +1000 on VRAM. Ran the HZD bench and scored 87 avg FPS. That's 16% faster than the 75 FPS Tech Power Up got with their 2080 Ti at the same 1440p ultra settings.
I did the opposite with my Strix 2080 lol went straight to the 1.068 button and slapped the frequency as high as it would let me lol 2GHz@1.068 with a +1000 offset on the VRAM. Set the fans to max out to at 50%. Any higher than that and they get annoying. Temps are at 74c load and saw an 8 FPS AVG jump in the horizon bench from 72 to 80. Max FPS saw about. 15 FPS jump. Minimums increased by about 10 FPS.
i always feel like a wizard when undervolting lol...same clockspeeds but 25% less power consumption, 20% less fanspeed and 10°C cooler on my 2080ti and finally a worthy buy without earbleeding
After watching this i got slightly better temps on my GTX 1080, thanks my guy for this easy tutorial and I appreciate it lots! keep it up my guy!
I will be following this guide when I get my 5700XT
@AmpEdition I think I'm still going to buy it not worth to buy the 2060 super as it's the same price as the 5700xt, and there are a lot of solutions already that fix some of the issues.
Also Nvidia have been known for ending support on many of their products earlier than AMD, so I wouldn't call it future proofing, many of the problems can be simply solved if you have an understanding of how the BIOS of your motherboard and windows functions, simply not worth the 2060 purchase, drivers will mature and the problems will be solved. At the end of the day when the drivers are at their peak it will eventually beat even the 2070 super, I mean look at the benchmarks the 5700xt already wins in Battlefield 5.
@AmpEdition Alright my 5700xt arrived today, no issues performance is near 2070 super level, compared with my friend my setup even wins in some games, running latest drivers no issues at all.
Thanks, this was a lifesaver to get my NVIDIA GeForce 2070 Super to be quieter in my FormD T1.
From 1044 mV -> 906 mV @ 1875 MHz
Was able to lower fan speed to 40% (the minimum for my founders edition card) while at full load.
Temps during Heaven + Cinebench R23 @ 76-77 C, which is fine for me as I care more about noise.
oh man this saved me a ton of stress. I was playing Ori for a while and the most graphics intense game I have at the moment is Little Nightmares. I'm still looking into making some more tweaks, but just with this the temps on my RX 570 dropped 10 C. Thanks for this guide, it's a huge help.
just did this with my 1070 in the phanteks shift (for my ultrawide 1440p monitor), got it down to 70c average from 75c average with a slight improvement to my Unigine score, thanks for the guide man :)
I gain +10 fps on my rx590 and less temps, thank you so much Ali !!
Thanks a lot for the Video, it was a nice straight to the point guide, and simple to follow.
Now my 1080ti SC2 Hybrid runs 55°C instead of 60, while being even more quiet and keeping the overclocked core clocks (1936MHz for me specifically)!
Thank you very much! My RTX 2080 was running on the temperature limits in my DAN A4. Now it is running like 5c cooler, and a lot more silent.
Thank you for this. I knew about the curve and the basics, but your video made it all click properly for me. Thanks to this I'm able to run my Aorus 2070 Super at 2040MHz Core Clock (stays at this 90% of the time, with the occasional dip to 2025) with +1050MHz on the Memory Clock at 1 Volt (Was running at 1.062 volts previously), which keeps my temps in the low 70s consistently (Before they were high 70s to 80s).
Undervolted my 5700 XT Nitro + to 1999mhz @ 1031mV.
Works like a charm. Lost about 2 or 3 fps but it is wayyyy more silent, takes 40w less power and its not as hot.
I love undervolting and I‘ve been doing it since my vega 56 and my radeon vii.
GPU Undervolting for Laptops? Max-Q and Max-P ones, pascal and new rtx ones maybe?
Really appreciate your effort in making this video man.. tried this on may laptop which has rtx 2070 maxP and i am getting slightly better temp, but more stable clockspeed and totally eliminate my power limit throttling
This is awesome. Just starting to get into building PCs and I wanted to get a budget gpu, the reviews said it runs loud and hot but one mentioned undervolting improves that so I googled it and you came up. Thanks so much for this guide!
Thank you for this guide! My Emtek 2060 was running like 85 degree c in 1.069V /2400rpm / Medium setting on Assetto Corsa.
But after some playing around the voltage, it's running under 70 degree c in 0.930V / 1700rpm / almost Max setting, no performance lose whatsoever : )
Great video. Keep up the good work. I'm learning so much :)
undervolting my gpu helps alot it lowers heat, noise, and power consumption. I can deal with a bit of lowered performance. I usually dont mess with any afterburner settings in my previous gpus but when I bought my current rtx 2070 super I just can't ignore the heat the noise and the power consumption compared to the gtx10s series. Good video and advise regarding undervolting, I wish I knew this sooner.
This Video deserves MUCH more views! PERFECT production quality!
The thing about undervolting, the fans will actually get louder because they ramp up later..unless you have a manual fan curve but i undervolted my vega 64 and dropped like 10c on synthetic benchmarks. The voltage for p6 and p7 was 1100mv and 1200mv. I undervolted p1-p7. I got p7 and p6 almost 100mv lower. Freaking amazing. p6 and p7 were at 1520 and 1630 with the voltages lowered and i got a +50 on the core clock with a memory overclock of 1100 mhz on the hbm2. If i want overall lower temps i could lower the hbm back to 945 but with the 1100mhz i get like +3 frames lol
other than that i get near 1080ti performance and a little around 2070 performance. Got to fine tune it a little more
also, use msi afterburner. It's more simple, and i find it applies better. WIth the power limit slider up if you want to lower the overall amount of power the card uses, lower the core voltage a tad and try again. lowers my temps about 5c
One thing I recommend doing also with any rtx card is running the free quake 2 rtx game. For some reason, this hits my rtx 2080 super the most. So if you can do a whole run and not crash, it's really stable. Got 1905mhz @ .937v with 50% fan speed peaking at just under 70c. And I also can do 1800mhz @ .850v with 50% fan speed peaking just below 61c.
Best undervolting guide for all the modern GPU architectures
Finally!! A good tutorial how to undervolt. Thank you so much!
I had a GTX 1080 and it just worked. Since I got an RTX card it's like I've been fighting a war on ridiculous fan noise and thermal throttling.
For me, MSI RTX3060 is like the first card ever that i had that's completely silent, the fan speed never goes above 50%
Great tutorial thanks a lot! Always found MSI Afterburner a challenge but this makes it seems straightforward, thank you!!
Keep the frequency the same?
As an old man, the whole point of undervolting (IMO) is achieving the maximum efficiency, even if it means sacrificing 'some' performance.
My GPU runs fine at -90mV at stock frequency. But if I sacrifice 5% of performance, I can run it at a whopping -180mV undervolt. Pretty impressive. Doesn't bother me at all as I play at either 30 or 60 FPS capped with vsync.
Thanks for this. My GTX1070 Mini has been driving me mad in my NZXT H200. I have undervolted to 800mV (and underclocked it to ~1750Mhz) and lost 6deg from peak temperature, but more importantly peak fan speed dropped from 81% to 62% during Unigine Heaven benchmark. Has made a huge difference to volume during gaming. Going to try replacing thermal paste next and see if I can get it down further! :)
Pro tip for 1080Ti users:
Use the max *stable offset* for core clocks without adding any voltage.
Then go to 1050mV or 1075mV and add 25~50mhz *depending on whats stable on your card* and enjoy the higher boost clocks.
Mine stay at 2050mhz on core and 6277mhz on mem at 1075mV 😋 *using the evga sc2*
I just got a Powercolor Rx 580 8gb! Most people say that it is very loud so hopefully u can do this right and fix it instead of tuning the fans and increasing the temps!
holy shit what an incredibly informative and easy to follow guide. Can't wait to get home and try this myself
Great tutorial! was able to get my 2060 to 900 mv while overclocked to 1920 MHz. Occasionally will go above this to 925 mv and 1935 MHz, but I am fine with that as I am getting a max of 65C while running Time Spy Extreme! It even now takes a 25% fewer Watts than what it is rated for on Amazon. I could tune the voltage more to make it tighter but what I achieved is going to do plenty! Thanks!
Hey JR I need major help with my 2060, my CPU runs relatively cold when gaming going at 60C-70C but the main thing for me is my GPU which has been running hot at 80C-85C. Any tips?
Perfect timing (and volting)
So things haven't changed too much since the last time I messed with voltage and clocks. Nice to know. Just looks a bit simpler than before.
Came for problem with wine coil, ended up with -20 heat in warzone 2. Before 65, now 45. Did exact same thing, one slighty further then yours and no crashes. So thanks. Wine coil bit lesser to.
OMG... how didn't I know about this?
I've got a significant GPU temp reduction
Thank you
Dropped like a bunch of degrees on my rtx 2080 and actually increased in game performance by like 10 FPS now that it’s consistently boosting to 1980mhz
I know I'm really late commenting here, but I wanted to thank you for a great guide. I got my 2070 GPU from pretty noisy to almost silent with this plus playing with the fan curve. Keep up the great work. =D
One thing I'd suggest to add if you ever update this for the 40 series and RDNA3 cards is to add a quick walk-through for editing the fan curve in Afterburner; doing so is not as obvious as you'd think in the latest version of Afterburner.
Awesome, I just undervoltrd my 2080 ti down to 1.018 from 1.087.
Amirhosein Herandy hey im kinda really late but how much was the improvement in noise and temp?
Asus ROG Strix 2080 Ti stock settings, just custom fan curve... 975mv-1.03v, 1875-1890mhz, 60-62c and 260w average power consumption @100% load.
MSI Afterburner frequency curve.... 843mv, 1905mhz fix, 54-55c and 215w average power @100% load.
Not bad
This is great exposure to Undervolting not just to Radeon but also Nvidia. Even if you don't get any extra performance out of it, you do get a sizable temperature and noise reduction for very little work - much more worth it than 5% or so performance imo
Just did my undervolting using Shadow of the Tomb Raider menu and benchmark! 70C->66C (6% reduction) while at a 10% reduction in fan speed. 1920MHZ at 925volt. 900volt unfortunately caused crashing in the benchmark. RTX 2080 Duke thanks for the guide!!!
I've actually wanted to do that for quite a while! Thanks for the tutorial!
this is awesome my temps went from 69-71 degrees down to 63 degrees max and my clock speeds went from 1905 to 1950mhz
My ASU’s Phoenix 2060 would hit 83 degrees in unigine in 5 minutes and I under volted it while putting fan speed to 100% and I hit a mere 58 degrees
If the 83 c was also at max fan speed that is some heavy duty cooling you got there mate!
Michael Gimenez idk how the temp dropped like that but it was at 100 percent fan speed before as well and keep in my this is a single fan card
[RX460 bios modded to RX560] Nice video with your tips i could improve my old UV/OC. Another thing that i noticed is when trying to optimize the memory controller voltage (keep core freq under 1Ghz ) HWINFO will show (GPU Aux Voltage VDDCI) if your target is 800mV but the card floors it at 875mV. Later when setting the P7 the IMC automatically go up to 950mV if needed, even if 875mV is your setting. My modded card has a softpowertable to increase min voltage from 715mV to 731mV; P7:1297mHz@1150mV P6:1249@1056mV P5:1200@994mV Memory: 2000mhz the card is powered from just the PciEx.
I can picture JayzTwoCents watching this and twitching an eyeball.
Hmmmm curious to why?
Yeah why
Really good video, helped me a lot with my RX 5700 XT, I didn´t need 2000 Mhz so I just underclocked to 1900 Mhz and undervolted to 1000 mV and it works just fine (also got -14ºC so thats awesome).
Thanks so much for this. Used this guide to undervolt my 2070 super and got a good 7 degree drop.
Why mV DID YOU set YOURS ?
And at what FREQUENCY ?
