Underclocking an RX 570

[okkee]

Currently running  a 4gb rx 570  off of a 295W PSU and a sata-to-6pin adapter. Would really not  like to burn the adapter  and just wanted to know if underclocking would  help. Yes, i can just  upgrade the psu but that's looking like a May/June thing. Right now though,my biggest worry is frying that adapter.

You are really cutting it thin here. Can i please have the specs of your pc so i can see the power usage. 

 

Underclocking is a very considerable option though

That Dell psu, despite not boosting high wattage, im sure it have good quality.

Now, to undervolt, you can you AMD Adrenaline. Get to Performance, Tuning, and enable power tuning. Set the power slider all the way to -30. This will decrease total power of the card to 80watt maxed out, rather than 135watt.

You can also try reducing its volt, but without decreasing the power, the card will try to increase current and end up consuming higher wattage still and more strain of its power delivery.

So, try to undervolt to 1.12, decrease the power slider and finally, you have reduce the clock to 1050mhz.

Otherwise, the card will try to achieve same clock with reduced wattage, and this could cause crash or weird fps fluctutation, games play will feel stuttery regardless of fps.

And don't worry, even around 1050mhz, that card will still have ample for horse power. Yes, benchmark performance might decrease but not much.
