As mentioned in the title, I aimed to improve my FPS after going through those tutorials about boosting Windows performance. I tried changing settings like high performance mode and various other pointless adjustments that did help a bit. I then decided to overclock and watched some videos to guide me. However, when I first downloaded the program, I couldn’t adjust the power limit or core voltage. Disappointed, I followed the tutorial and set a value, but after testing it in my game (CSGO), things only got worse. I started changing numbers randomly, which eventually led me to completely delete the app, hoping it would restore my FPS. Unfortunately, it made things worse again, and I tried updating drivers, but was hesitant to uninstall because I read about potential risks if the driver isn’t found. I posted this situation, hoping someone could provide a solution since I’m really desperate and believe overclocking might actually help my FPS.

I was thinking about what I would do if I had to restart my MSI setup. I’d press the reset button and check if it brings me back to where I started. It should work, then I’d restart the computer and test the games to see if there’s a change in FPS.
I tried already, but nothing changed and that’s probably because of an old GPU. Unless you look up reviews or daily updates, it might not be worth it.

It seems the GPU might have become unstable due to voltage issues. I recommend resetting it to factory settings and checking if the problem persists with default configurations.

It seems the GPU might have become unstable due to voltage issues. I recommend resetting it to factory settings and checking if the problem persists while keeping the defaults. Let me know if you need further help with the reset process.

It seems the GPU might have become unstable due to voltage issues. It could be helpful to reset it back to factory settings and check if the problem persists with default configurations. Please let me know the model and brand of your GPU for further guidance.

Well, what I would do on MSI is press the reset button and check if it brings it back to what you began with. It should work, and after doing that, apply it and restart your computer before testing the games to notice any changes in FPS.

I have already done it, but there is no difference and also that is the reset one.

On the picture you can see it clearly.

Well what i would do on MSI is to click the reset button and see if it puts it to what you started at. It should and when you do that apply it and restart your computer then test out the games to see for the FPS difference.
I already did it, but there is no difference and btw that s the reset one
