Hello ! I'm just a beginner here. I have a 3080 TI with three units, which is an overclocked version of the 3080TI. It seems like it gets too hot.

In some tougher games, the game will suddenly stop after a few hours, and then I have to lower the graphics settings. That works fine, but I don't want my GPU overheating every time. So I thought about using MSI Afterburner to bring the clock speed back to normal. But nothing seems to work.

When I change the "core clock" slider, apply it, and save it to my profile, the GPU speed shown in MHz stays the same (1710). If I restart my PC, those changes disappear even though I saved them.

On YouTube, others seem to have success with this method. I tried adjusting the settings to enable voltage control, but it didn't help much. Making a custom curve for fan speed did work, but it wasn't enough—especially when I had Total War 3 running on ultra with crashes after hours.

Hope this helps!

MSI Afterburner hasn't received any updates or fixes for a year now, and development seems to have ceased completely.

Oh, well it all makes sense then :') thank you very much for your help ! I will try reverting that "factory" overclock to the standard values for a 3080TI with rivatuner !
And yeah the GPU shouldn't revert the modifications since i'm actually trying to lower the clock speed x)
thanks !

Is there a setting for Afterburner configured to activate during PC startup? I don't recall using it recently, so I'm unsure if this is necessary.

yes i do, that's the program i use for my fan control
😛
i'll have to look for something that works with my 3080TI because rivatuner won't help either -.-

I'm using Tweak III, which I think is from ASUS. I'm not sure if it supports non-ASUS cards.

I'm not certain about the details of your card, but remember that adjusting the Core frequency offset doesn't guarantee the video card will actually follow through or perform it.
