Overloading GPU based on temperature readings
Overloading GPU based on temperature readings
The temperature cap should be prioritized over the power limit. It will raise the temperature to that value and then attempt to stay within it. Have you considered another tool for this purpose? I’m planning to keep MSI Afterburner for fan curves, so I’d prefer using it if it supports this setting. Do you know if MSI Afterburner can handle this configuration or would you suggest alternatives?
It appears the default temperature cap for MSI Afterburner is 79°C, yet my GPU stays below 60-62°C. I want to adjust this setting so the GPU maintains a consistent range instead of just preventing it from reaching the cap. Right now the program enforces the limit but doesn’t appear to adapt its speed based on temperature changes. I’m seeking a solution that would automatically increase the clock speed to reach the desired temperature and then lower it back once the target is achieved.

It looks like the temperature cap for MSI Afterburner is turned on by default at 79 degrees C. However, my GPU never goes beyond 60-62 degrees C. I’m wondering if there’s a way to adjust this cap into a range so the GPU attempts to maintain that range instead of just avoiding it. Currently, the cap is fixed at 79C, but the software doesn’t seem to allow the temperature limit to affect the clock speed.
I’m hoping for a solution that would automatically increase the GPU’s speed up to the set temperature and then lower it back once it exceeds it. That’s not the main concern—I’m more worried about the power limits preventing my GPU from getting hot enough to reach those temperatures.
You have two choices:
1) Increase the maximum power and base clock until temperatures rise
2) Lower your fans until temperatures rise
The first option makes more sense. If you’ve already set the base clocks and max power as high as they can go without the temps going up, then you’re good—no need for complicated tricks.
