Core clock/voltage problem
Core clock/voltage problem
Hello everyone
I’m facing an issue with overclocking my GPU.
My system details are:
GPU: Titan X, SLI watercooled
CPU: Intel i7 6700K
RAM: 32GB
OS: Windows 10
I understand the basics of overclocking, but things don’t seem right.
First, I increase the core clock by 10MHz during each benchmark until a crash occurs.
When a crash happens, I raise the core voltage to try and prevent it.
My process looked like this:
Core clock was at 1215MHz → increased by 10MHz → tested again.
This repeated until I hit a crash.
Then it crashed at 1485MHz, so I raised the core voltage again.
After that, I increased the core voltage in 10MHz increments, but the crash continued.
I checked the monitoring system and found the core clock was actually 1505MHz.
It didn’t change to 1505 even after adjusting.
But when I tried to raise the voltage again to avoid a crash, the core clock also increased.
That seems unusual.
I’m using MSI Afterburner and apologize for my unclear English.
Can anyone help me figure this out?
Hi. New GPUs have built-in power efficiency that automatically reduces core clocks when full power isn't required. But this technology is still emerging, and sometimes the reduced performance can affect speed. I suggest using an unofficial overclocking mode in MSI Afterburner with PowerPlay enabled. This stops the down clocking but makes it more aggressive, so you'll need to fine-tune it carefully.
Hey there, give that a solid read.
Check out the guide at the link you shared.
Just remember, voltage and MHz are different things—voltage is V, while core clock speed is in MHz. Also, with turbo boost, you let the GPU handle more volts and higher TDP, which can cause it to ramp up until it reaches the temperature limit (probably). You should have a good understanding after reading.

Hi mate, give it a good look at

I don’t own a Titan, but I think you’re mixing up the voltage and MHz. Voltage is V, while the core clock runs in MHz. With Turbo Boost, you let the GPU handle more volts and higher TDP, it adjusts until it reaches the set temperature—probably that’s what you’re seeing. You’ll get it if you read it carefully.

This will halt the down clocking, though it's a more intense overclock that needs careful adjustment.
