Hi! You might not be in the right place for this query. I was trying to overclock my 6pinless RX 460 and realized that without raising the power limit, I can't exceed the default clock speed. Your question is: is it risky to increase the power limit on a card without a 6 pin? Thanks for your Italian language, I’m from Italy!

Power limit is off, if it's properly cooled I discovered on my Gigabyte device that increasing the power limit without a proportional rise in voltage isn't very effective, and that could be risky.

CountMike shared his experience about the power limit issue. He mentioned that cooling things down helped but raising the power limit without increasing voltage wasn't effective and could be risky. He also asked for more details in the comment below.

Oops, it looks like you accidentally gave me a low rating. As a beginner here, I know I need to learn more. Keep going!
