Issue with Asus GPU Tweak II
When adjusting my GPU clock, it automatically increases by 20MHz. This behavior is unusual because I only observed it today. I've disliked this feature since purchasing the GPU. Now, to enter "Silent Mode," I must manually set the clock to 1270MHz so it reaches 1290MHz, which is the silent mode setting. The reason for needing Silent Mode is that the GPU crashes on every game at the other two preset clocks—OC Mode (1330MHz) and Gaming Mode (1310MHz). This might be due to my PSU being inadequate or overheating.
Hello... increasing voltage raises heat in the semiconductors, but it's necessary to reach the next level of "Good" results. Adjust your 10mhz step to 20mhz or 30mhz as well, considering the ODD-EVEN synchronization rules and memory effects. You'll notice a pattern of suitable numbers will emerge. B)
It might take a few days to discover the optimal stable settings... just let the "Product" guide you on what works best instead of trying to force it.
Hello... in the digital realm there are clock signals/crystals... so adjustments aren't always fully controllable... that's why what you're observing is normal. B)
It makes sense that the clock speed increases by 20 MHz, even when using preset settings.
Hello... yes... your approach in the analog realm is essentially a mathematical process involving the original set of clock/crystal signals. You need to align with the signal above or below your configuration, depending on circumstances. The memory must also match the GPU's timing... otherwise crashes will occur. Creating a chart will reveal which MHz values perform best. Sometimes changes in odd or even numbers affect the optimal selections too... The timing crystals are fixed and not adjustable—commonly 100 Mhz, but in practice it could be around 99.999 Mhz or slightly higher.
I'm just confused about how it started behaving today...
It's also strange when I use the presets—it doesn't automatically adjust the Voltage, and I have to handle that manually. When I tweak the GPU clock on my own, it actually affects the voltage too. However, so far the only times it doesn't cause any issues are when the clock is at 1290MHz and the voltage is 1150mV. Raising the voltage only postponed the crashes with higher clock presets. I'm worried though about going above 1156mV because it could damage my expensive PC. This seems like an unusual occurrence, and I just wanted to check if it was normal. I might post another time if I want to learn how to overclock properly or watch a tutorial.
Hello... You've physically created chips on the GPU... they aren't flawless due to the materials or process involved. Some perform better than others. It's essential to discover the optimal numbers for your product rather than comparing unprecise science to others' results.
There is indeed a science or method for overclocking... memory doesn't handle it well because it's already very fast and lacks significant cooling like in GPUs. In general, heat usually limits your overclock to what's physically possible. Therefore, you should keep an eye on your temperatures during this process. Summer, winter, and air humidity all influence your cooling performance. What works now might not work in six months.
I usually find the "magic" numbers, flash the GPU with them, and then turn off the app used to get them... and that's it.
There are many tutorials available online, and this is how I learned B )
