Auto undervolt is AWESOME!

As the title says, i just tried this out and i immediately dropped 5 to 8 full degrees in applications at the same fan speed without a drop in frames. Seriously, I was playing Borderlands 3 at around 150 FPS before at around 66 degrees C, now running at the same fps but at 59 degrees (both are NOT junction temp although that is also lower). Fan curve seems to be unchanged but since it doesn't get as hot, it runs at a lower speed. TL:DR I should have tried this earlier. Is anyone else getting these results?

I'd avoid "auto" stuff since they either ruin stability or not as far as they could have pushed. As far as I'm concerned though that you either overclock or you undervolt your CPUs and GPUs if you're willing to touch the settings.

That is why i wanted to give it a try just to test it. I likely could drop temps even further by doing this manually but I don't see a reason to. I ran a 20 minute furmark test and played some VR and normal games for multiple hours. Even after turning the system off and leaving it for a while then playing more games, i had no problems. No crashing, no stuttering, no weird gpu stuff, just lower temps. In terms of convenience, im quite impressed. However, I know this is bound to piss some enthusiast off lol. This also gives me a good baseline to see what voltages my gpu is able to run at.

AMD cards tend to undervolt well. I managed to get a -65mv undervolt with a 1430mhz core on my RX 570. (Load temps hit 87c on my fan curve, used to hit 92c). I run it daily at -100mv 1370mhz. Vega and RDNA tend to undervolt better, because AMD is squeezing out every last mhz from the chip.

Good to see it is not just me then.

If i'm not mistaken auto undervolt put the voltage to -50mV, many chips can definitely go further than that.

My stock 5700 xt came out of the box with 2028mhz core and 1200mV temps around 80-85c (2150rpm)

Ive manually set it to 1980mhz and 1100mV temps max 75c (2400rpm) this is what a daily use

and if i set it to advertised speed of 1905mhz i can get it to 1030mV with max temp of 70-75c (2150rpm)

This is at 23c ambient
