Rtx 2080 OC scanner
Hey everyone, just checking in with another query. I recently set up a new system featuring a Ryzen 5 2600x, an MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon, and a 16GB Corsair DDR4 3200MHz memory. Everything is functioning perfectly—no more stuttering or frame drops. The only concern is with the Nvidia OC scanner (MSI afterburner). The card isn’t reaching as high an overclock as it did with the i5 6600. Previously, I was hitting around 1950MHz in games, but now it’s dropping to the low 1800MHz. I’m not sure if it’s due to the i5 having better single-core performance, especially since I’m still getting comfortable with overclocking. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated... Also, the Unigine Supersition score has decreased from 7050 to about 6700.
Well I don't think anyone here can tell you the inner workings of their algorithm beyond general terms. It hunts for what it considers to be a sweet spot for power and thermals.
I don't think your CPU speed would have effected it much when it comes to clock speeds.
Same case and fan layout? If it is warmer in there it won't be able to run as fast. Power requirements go up or down between your builds? If the CPU/Motherboard/Ram are using a little more power than the GPU might see a lower voltage on the 12V bus under load and is playing it safe.
Simpler to overclock the card manually if you know it can reach 1950, add the difference between 1950 and the max boost it is reaching now and see if it can do it. You can then attempt to bring the memory up.
As long as you are satisfied with the temperature and the noise should be fine.
Thanks for the update, yes the temperatures in the case appear to have increased slightly with the recent modifications. I have two 140mm intakes, one exhaust at the back and two at the top, which should provide good airflow. I’ll go ahead and try a manual OC and see how it performs, cheers!
I’m also just starting out with this setup, but when I assembled the Ryzen 7 2700x, GTX 1060, and B350M board, I had to experiment with different fan configurations. My arrangement matched yours closely—two front intakes, one rear intake, and two exhausts. After changing it, I positioned the exhaust closer to the back and used it as an exhaust only. Keeping the top intake and exhaust unchanged, the rest stayed the same. The temperature readings on my HWmonitor showed clear differences, suggesting that removing some warm air from inside helped.
