Hi all, I just built a new pc and I'm trying to get the most out of my older gpu (MSI 2060 Ventus OC) for now. I tried MSI afterburner but I can only put power limit to 106 and temp to 87 max. I then tried upping core clock but it crashes around +150 and I haven't found the limit with memory clock but it doesn't seem to affect fps. I also recently changed the thermal paste which lowered the temps. 37c at idle and 60c at gaming 100%. GPU-z says prefcap is pwr. Is there a way to increase power past MSI afterburner limits? I couldn't find anything in the bios.
