Offset Overclocking

[Nexo]

Is this a good way to offset overclock?

 

Set multiplier to 42 and set offset voltage to like +0.01 and start stress testing till crash. If crash set offset voltage +0.02. And keep repeating the process.

Just wondering if this is a good way.

It was for me. My temperatures dropped by 10C and i am able to get a higher OC on a much lower Vcore. I also use way less power. It takes a while to get it right though, took me about three to four day to get a stable 4.5Ghz OC my first try with work and all.

DANG 3-4 DAYS?

I'd reverse your method. Get it stable at your desired speed and then bump the voltage down. Might work out faster and better for you

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

You're saying overclock to like 4.2 Ghz on stock voltage then go up by one option right? Reverse that, set something that you know in your gut will work, and then drop it from there. Usually you go for the highest overclock possible, then go for the lowest voltage possible at that clockspeed

So basically set my multiplier to 42 then like set the offset voltage to -0.01 to try to get the best out of it?

So let's say you're shooting for 4.2 Ghz, and you set the voltage toooo idk 1.236 for example, and that's stable (purely hypothetical) I would then dial the voltages down to the lowest i can get it with it being stable. See what I mean? I like to overshoot and work my way back down, rather than giving it too little voltage (which can cause a no-post scenario)

I get you but the only part I don't quite get is where do you first find the 1.236 and is that manual?

You set a manual voltage yes, but that voltage i gave you was purely made up. You can work your way there yourself or you can see what other users were using to achieve 4.2 Ghz on their chips. My Database would be a good reference point if you were interested (link in my signature ) You can set the same voltage and clockspeed as other users, and if it's stable try lowering the voltage further for heat and power savings!

Ah I get it now
