undervolting

[ishjob]

So I have a evga 2080 ti black edition, im trying to undervolted but it my first time. so far with msi after burner I have it running at 1920mhz at 0.913v. I ran heaven benchmark with out crashing (at 1920mhz and 0.875v it did or somewhere around there) and all they games I play run smoothly. Is this a good? does the card run at a higher MHz?

Unless your over heating or you have an HTPC so you want it to be quite there is not reason to under volt 

But if you want to over clock do something like a 500 mhz off for vram and a 100 mhz off for clock speeds Everytime and over volt unless you need to

You would want to undervolt if you're trying to beat a thermal or power limit. If you find your boost clocks are falling due to high heat then undervolt and re-test for steady boost clocks. If you find you're being throttled by a power limit you can lower voltage to allow more amperage, wattage is volts times amps so  lower volts lets more amps for the same wattage and more power. 250W at 1.5 volts is 166 amps but 250W at 1.3 volts is almost 200 amps!

 

And finally you can undervolt to reduce system power and heat for better efficiency and quieter fan speeds, or you can do it just because you're weird and want it all to run as cool and quiet as possible because you've burnt yourself out on loud hot systems decades ago and now you're old.

so im undervolting because its inside a ncase m1... and it was at thermal limit (84 c) while playing apex and r6
