Overclocking help

[CalumA]

Hello everyone, first time here :D. 

my question is that i am wanting to overclock my RTX 3070 gaming z trio 8gb. can anyone of you recommend a settings guide to set all of the voltage and clock speed please. (I'm fairly new to overclocking)

What I'd do is first install msi afterburner Afterburner (msi.com) and then when you get to the clock speed setting you're going to increase that by about 40 or 50 mhz in increments as well as the memory clock speed by about 100mhz every time and after you do that once then do a stress test (like one of you're games, preferably the one that's the most intensive but even a shooter works as this is just a test for stability) and then if that's stable you can go back to msi afterburner and increase the clock speed and mem clock speed by the same increments and repeating the game testing until you can't overclock anymore 

 

or just follow this video but what they forget to mention is about the memory clock speeds and I'd still increase those by at least 50mhz each time. You don't need to but I like to

 

Btw you can also undervolt which is quite easy 

Follow this vid from LTT at 13:40

or this one at 2:30

I would just recommend using OC scanner in afterburner, I personally tested how much further I can manually overclock compared to OC scanner and all I got was 15mhz (which is not even measureable).

undervolting is more effective and you aren't going to get "+50% fps" as they say in this video linked above either way. more like 10%, maybe, if lucky...

when i tried oc scanner it was more or less useless,  however with undervolting i get 100 mhz+ compared to stock straight (ie 2010mhz) with much lower temps, but as said, even that isn't really boosting fps much, reason im doing this is temps simply, i hate parts running hot and with that i get around 60c on average,  which i find acceptable (compared to 70+ without the undervolt)

that has a much bigger impact on fps anyway,  so yeah, definitely want to overclock that. the gpu itself,  nah, as said undervolting gives much better performance typically due to how nvidia boost works (its all about the temps)

ye with my 3060 I managed to get about 2200mhz and went from 360 fps to 500. Only in rocket league tho at 1080p so the fps was already high enough

i tried this and everytime i scan it cancels sadly
