EVGA 3080 XC3 ULTRA OC: Help Appreciated!

So as a little preface I started off using the PRECISION X1 tool and doing an OC scan and using the basic reccomendation which was +142 GPU OC & + 200 MEM OC.

So I'm new to GPU Overclocking and I've been following a basic guide where you increase the Core Clock by 10 MHz and running Unigene Heaven and increasing as long as it stays stable and I have a few questions.

This is what I have my PRECISION X1 settings at right now: https://imgur.com/a/G5PkENW 

These are my most recent scores in Heaven: https://imgur.com/a/V6CHisz

My temperatures never go past 75C which is weird(?) not sure as again, I'm new to this.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Any tips or advice on what to do from here? I know I can increase the memory clock just making sure everything else seems legit.

So your scores are going up right? Temperature not going up could be caused by power throttling, you should monitor that.

 

btw I think you can go way more with memory. With GPU OC, make sure you overclock memory first and core after that.

Scores are going up, yep! I can show you a before any OC and after my OC comparison if it would help, also sorry for my smooth brain but what do you mean by "power throttling"? 

My fans still have room to go up so I have no clue how I would make it go higher. 

Also, if I increase my memory clock now would that leave me room to increase the GPU clock too? 

Again, thank you very much!

hitting the power limit.

Yes. It just means your GPU gets to do more per clock cycle (up to a certain level of course)

Dope, thanks!

So it's just drawing as much power as it can so it literally can't give it any more juice (no more clock speed etc?)

So I turned up the Memory Clock by +200 and I got significantly worse results than with it at what it was before... 🤔

I'm so confused LOL

maybe, "power" reading is right there in precison X1

then it's not a stable overclock, reduce it.
