consider raising your voltage and power limits for your non reference gtx 1080
consider raising your voltage and power limits for your non reference gtx 1080
Hello,
I’m trying to overclock my Asus Strix GTX 1080 but I’m unsure whether to adjust the voltage and power settings using MSI Afterburner or something else. Could someone clarify what to do and by how much? Thanks.
Voltage boost is essentially as high as it gets while keeping temperatures and noise manageable. The power cap restricts how much power the card can use. With the new GPUBoost feature on Pascal cards, you should be able to adjust the power limit yourself, allowing the card to automatically fine-tune voltage and clock speed without manual changes. If you prefer not to overclock completely, simply increase the power limit until you reach acceptable heat or noise levels.

Essentially, most of the long-term damage to electronics comes from heat, not from electricity itself degrading the circuits.
