Overclocking for mac?

You can't boost the CPU in any way due to the motherboard, BIOS, and chip limitations. Yet, you can definitely try to speed up the GPU using WINDOWS 1ith MSI Afterburner. I've done this on a 2012 iMac with a GTX680MX—it performs well, maintaining temperatures around 70-80°C, and since I don't play much, it's manageable. However, pushing the GPU this hard is risky because of the restricted cooling.

It's a Hackintosh, not a Mac. I have plenty of cooling for every component. Fine-tuning doesn't always mean full hardware overclocking. That's something most people miss. Like when they discuss cards used by miners. Those cards, what pro miners or those with the right mindset have in hand, are downclocked and undervolted to get the best efficiency. For 3DMark testing, this usually helps with performance, not just power usage (on AMD GPUs that's a bit of a joke—most AMD cards can run better at lower clock speeds, and sometimes this works for 3D apps too). To get the most out of my Vega, I need to undervolt it; otherwise, the card will draw too much power and generate excessive heat, which could prevent it from reaching its full potential. So, it's not a Mac—it's a Hackintosh.
