RX 470 Overclock

[JerichoN]

Hi,

I'm looking for an overclock on THIS (1216Mhz) card, I'm new with MSI afterburner, and my "Core Voltage" slider is greyed out, can someone help?

I have got a 1300mhz OC with nothing changed on the core voltage, is this bad?

 

If any of you have OC'ed this card, can you reply with the exact settings?

 

Any help is appreciated.

Nope. It's not dangerous to overclock without changing core voltage, it is very good actually.

you have to go into settings to unlock voltage control

and heres my oc. do note that its not the same for each card

thats not bad. i got to 1325 on stock voltage. for some reason all the 400 series cards alll come heavily overvolted

Is that a reference cooler?

for example i see GTX 980s getting to 1500mhz when my GTX 980 did not overclock at all

reference coolers are fine man, just a bit louder 

With a better cooler you'll get 50MHz more simply because of the lower temps.

Never overclock just by copying someone else's settings.  Back in the day that was a good way to kill a piece of hardware.  These days you won't hurt anything, but it's still a very inefficient and crash prone way of doing things.

Depends on if the architecture or temperature is the bottleneck for further overclocks. Even LN2 cooling can't push the clockspeeds past a certain limit even if the temperatures are way under freezing point imo

Yeah but reference RX 480s could do about 1340Mhz comfortably at 80 to 83C, my AIB RX480 does 1440MHz on stock voltage at 75C
