Underclocking my 2070 super?

[Goliath_1911]

So recently i got my self a 2070 super, it`s a zotac 2070s amp extreme oc , it`s clock speed went up to 1950 mhz,and memory speed of 7000, it gets a bit hot and noisy, with a custom fan curve it hits 70c at 70% fan speed at full load. i would like to lower its noise level, but it will probably go into higher temps that way? Should i underclock it,and by howmuch? am using msi afterburner

That would be fine, since 70c is nice and cool. maybe a temp target of 78 would improve noise.

or you could just drop the power limit, and then overclock to claw back performance.

Why would you "underclock"? You need to undervolt, without dropping clock speeds. You can even pull out a little more performance with undervolting& OVERclocking, if your card is stable enough.

i never bothered with overclocking anything so i don`t know much about it . thought underclocking would help ,will look into the undervolting tho, any help would be appreciated!! 

also i will adjust my case fans speeds because they were all depending on the cpu temp to ramp up and down which barely goes up to 53 C , so i put the temp source for them as the PCH and increased the exhaust fan curves to be a bit more faster than intake(3 intake,2 exhaust) , will see if that improves cooling a bit since they should now increase in speed atleast

again any help would be much appreciated !! thnx
