I've been trying to find someone to assist me in overclocking the card past the 350 watt limit. I need help undervolting and boosting clock speeds and memory speeds using AMD Adrenaline software. Also, someone should review my undervolt settings to ensure they're safe. Additionally, I require guidance on getting MSI after burner to function properly so I can raise the voltage instead of lowering it. I've already invested in a 1000 watt power supply and a new MSI motherboard with PCIe supplemental power to achieve around 400 to 600 watts based on thermal capacity. Please help me.

Radeon and Ryzen offer quite comparable overclocking configurations. The curve optimizer for undervolting combined with PBO for overclocking behaves similarly on Radeon, all managed through firmware. At the non-firmware level, such as with MSI Afterburner, undervolting mainly reduces power consumption; noticeable differences require both undervolting and overclocking. Undervolting alone provides some power margin without performance boosts, while overclocking adds uplift but can lower performance if there’s insufficient headroom in voltage, temperature, or other parameters. If the clock speed cannot be increased further, you’ve reached the hardware limits—maximum voltage and wattage are fixed by firmware. Your GPU only has two 8-pin connectors delivering 150 watts each, so additional power gains from connectors aren’t possible.
