Is Rx 570 mini overclocking safe?
Running the GPU at 130-143 watts during the extreme superostion benchmark at 1080p is manageable, though it’s not ideal for gaming. On titles such as Apex, the voltage has increased from 1060 to 1080, and it’s unclear whether this change will improve performance.
my RX570 even though not Mini is stable at 1405Mhz and 1030Mv, with maximum temperatures reaching about 68°C. I don’t have any power limit configured and the fan curve is quite aggressive. Speeds drop below 50% until the card reaches 70°, after which it climbs to 85% max once it hits the 80s. I haven’t experienced that before.
The signal operates at 1030mv and 1405mhz without any power restrictions, remaining stuck at 1405mhz continuously. This behavior occurs because the clock rotates rather than reaching a maximum value, preventing crashes even during extended operation in high-frequency modes. In intense gameplay scenarios, power limits are essential to avoid system instability.
I've experienced a few games, with Shadow Warrior 2 being the least satisfactory. In those instances, using a Game Specific ("Profile WattMan") setting proved beneficial.
To give you an idea, I've usually observed that 1400MHz requires around 1150mV for stability on most cards. 1030mV works better at 1300MHz. It's possible you're applying too much voltage.
I've never experienced the card crashing during games or stress tests. Using the AMD overlay, I see the core speed at 1405. I adjusted it back to 1390 as discussed (just for my peace of mind). Playing games keeps me at 1390Mhz with a voltage of 1030mV. I can play for hours without exceeding 70°C. My fans are almost silent under around 67% load. Since I set the fans not to spin up too quickly until near 70°C, I rarely hear them. I'm playing GTA V, Dauntless, Skyrim, Need For Speed Undercover, etc., all well above the FPS my 1080P TV can handle (120fps+). The slowest game is GTA V, where I manage about 80fps. On a 60Mhz display, 80fps is still quite good. Everything works with maximum settings and without anti-aliasing or motion blur.
I never fully grasped the power limit slider until recently... and from what I understand, you use it to let the card handle more voltage when needed. I’ve never experienced video problems while playing any games, and I can play for long periods without crashes or freezes. My main concerns were preventing tearing and managing heat, which I’ve now addressed better with improved sync and undervolting. For stability, I can run superposition at 1400Mhz all day without issues. I’ve tested it nonstop for hours while adjusting settings, maybe just luck plays a role. I only know my card’s limits and what I did, and that’s enough for me.
I really don’t understand this, so please don’t think I’m trying to argue lol.. if I were pushing too hard would the card just stop crashing or get too hot? I reduced the voltage because the stock settings showed the card reaching 83°C, which was considered normal since the cards were overheating. But I wasn’t comfortable with that approach. I looked into it and found many cards running at lower voltages with even less power, but from what I saw I could handle all stress tests without ever getting close to 80°C—actually, reaching 70°C is now uncommon. What would I do more to verify the card’s stability?
"Pushing too hard" here indicated your voltages could be very low, since the frequency/voltage connections I shared were greater than yours. However, it's still possible you captured a "golden sample," so have fun!
