overclock MAX POWER LIMIT GPU?

[ndkruijff]

Heeellllooooo,

 

I have a RTX 2080 (MSI SEA HAWK X) and I overclocked it with 125% Power Limit +115 Clock +700 Memory.

 

The cards stays under max load on benchmarks of 2 days around the 60C, max 65 never got higher.

 

Does this mean my card is safe cuz the temperature is fine?

 

If yes, can I boost it up to 140% Power Limit? When it is still under 75C on a +1000Mhz Memory +175Mhz Clock is it still safe to use? or is it melting?

 

I really dunno cuz the temperature is fine.

 

Yours Truly,

JunkMeister

you left pc on benchmark for 2 day ? XD your mom will kill you when the bill comes, overclock till it hits 85-90 on max continous load

The power % slider is only a limit for the power the card can draw. It does not mean the card is actually drawing 140% power target. You can see the power % graph in MSI Afterburner (assuming that is the program you use). As long as temps stay around or under 80C, you can do pretty much whatever you want. NVIDIA cards have built in voltage and temperature limits that make it pretty damn hard to kill just from overclocking.

 

edit: you only need to stress test for a half an hour or so for GPUs. Maybe an hour or two if you're being extra careful.

Alright, the slider can max achieve 4% extra, but within the cfg file of PX1 I can change it so my own things can come in.

Thank you man, so I can go as high as I want as long it stays under 80C? just to be sure

Well you probably won’t reach 140% power draw anyways but yeah
