Can you disable the voltage cap for the RX 6800 XT?
Your 240mm AIO appears to assist in maintaining optimal temperatures. With your current configuration (2500Mhz/1075mV/2100Mhz memory) and a stock air cooler, the 6800XT is achieving around 9950 score, while the hotspot temperature reaches the low to mid-80s. However, the improvement of only 5% in your setup seems to explain why many people consider it not worth the effort and cost. Still, it would be fascinating to observe the results with a similar clock speed and lower voltage provided by the AIO. Monitor how the clock frequency changes during the BM run (the Afterburner makes this straightforward using Rivatuner OSD and graphing tools). The longer the duration it maintains a hotspot temperature in the 70s—or even the 60s—it should more closely match the clock you intended through extended BM sessions. Remember, it's not just about setting the clock; what matters most is the actual clock the GPU runs at during the BM or game, which changes with temperature and available voltage.
