Undervolting & underclocking HELP please.

[Mahbub]

Ok so I watched this channel called optimum tech on youtube where the guy says undervolting and underclocking helps helps reduce load temps and lessens electricity consumption without any big performance drop. My GPU is Zotac GTX 1080 AMP Extreme. I want to undervolt and and underclock my GPU safely. Can someone tell me safe underclock and undervolt numbers for this GPU? (I am gonna use MSI afterburner for doing this). Thanks.

I am a novice in the undervolting and underclocking space so I may not be of much help, but my question to you is why do you want to undervolt/underclock? With your statement of parts I assume you are on a desktop not a laptop. The general idea behind undervolting is to reduce temperatures. In a laptop this can be a big deal and I know it was for me in my Razer Blade mid-2019. Running at 95 degrees all the time is not ideal, but in a desktop this shouldn't be a big concern. 

 

If you have a 1080 and are use to a certain degree of performance, undervolting (while not always) can see noticeable differences. If you are having problems with temperatures I would suggest starting with analyzing you cooling situation.

All you have to do is lower the power limit and it should run a lower voltage automatically because of this restriction. This will also limit the core boosts as well. On top of that You can manually lower the gpu frequency further.

Thats all there is to it.

What is the safe steps for that.. i mean like 1% at a time? M doing this first time.. i used the curve to keep my gou at 1900mhz at 950mv.. but what u said sounds easier to do

My 1080 is reaching 76 degree

When Im F@H my 2060s, to save a little energy and run a little cooler, I simply just slide the power limit bar all the way to the left in one swipe.

 

The Gpu I usually do the core speed while idle and never with a load. 50mhz increments are ok.
