My gtx 1060 is stuck at base clock, I overclocked it a few weeks ago and it was working fine. Now it's stuck after loading my computer. I've reinstalled the drivers and reset the overlclock. Any help would be appreciated.

Typically functions well. Obtain this
MSI afterburner

OR
EVGA precisionxoc
once you join the community. The goal is to bypass GPU thermal throttling, as the GPU tends to slow down when it reaches high temperatures like 90°C. With a quality air or water cooler, the card can dissipate heat more efficiently, preventing it from hitting its throttling limit. MSI afterburner achieves this by adjusting the factory speed and voltage settings, allowing vendors to release custom cooling solutions tailored for specific temperature ranges.
General adjustments usually boost fan speeds, but these coolers have constraints (heat sink efficiency and maximum fan RPM). If you discover your card’s stable preset isn’t enough, explore options such as:
■ Hybrid cooling with a CPU water block handling additional components
■ A full water block setup for comprehensive cooling
Check if your card’s specifications match any of these.

Usually works. Get this MSI afterburner or EVGA precisionxoc after joining the community. The goal is to bypass GPU thermal throttling, as the GPU tends to slow down when it reaches high temperatures like 90°C. With a good air or water cooler, the card can dissipate heat more efficiently, preventing it from hitting its throttling limit. MSI afterburner achieves this by forcing the GPU to run at higher speeds and voltages than the factory settings. Usually adjusting the fans increases their speed, but there are limits due to heat sink performance and fan RPM caps. If you find that your card’s stable preset isn’t enough, you might want to look into:

Hybrid cooling using a CPU water block for additional components like MOSFETs, capacitors, memory, and inductors (reference from gamernexus).
A full water block setup, assuming an open-loop cooling system. Check if your card’s temperature readings match your concerns. They don’t seem to exceed 50°C.

The goal is to bypass GPU thermal throttling, as the GPU tends to slow down when it reaches high temperatures like 90°C. With a good air or water cooler, the card can dissipate heat more efficiently, preventing it from hitting its throttling limit.
MSI afterburner achieves this by adjusting the factory speed and voltage settings, allowing the vendor’s own cooling solutions to operate within specific temperature ranges.
Typically, tweaking increases the fan speeds, but these coolers have limits in terms of heat exchange and maximum RPM. Once you reach the card’s highest stable setting and still feel it’s insufficient, consider these options:
■ Hybrid cooling using a CPU water block for GPU and fans to handle critical components like MOSFETs, capacitors, memory, and inductors.
■ Full cover water block, assuming an open-loop cooling system.
Check if your card has a listed temperature rating.
If the issue is indeed with temperatures, they aren’t high enough—they stay around 50°C.
Enjoy gaming!

MSI afterburner can achieve this by adjusting the factory speed and voltage settings. Manufacturers often release their own cooling solutions designed to keep the GPU within specific temperature ranges.
Typically, tweaking increases the cooler’s fan speed, but these coolers have limits based on heat exchange capacity and maximum RPM.
Once you identify your card’s highest stable setting and find it still doesn’t perform well, you might want to look into:
■ Hybrid cooling using a CPU water block for additional components
■ A full cover water block, assuming an open loop cooling system
Check if your card’s temperature is the problem—some don’t exceed 50°C.
Happy gaming with that? Is 50°C too high for you?

Hettle tried to explain the process to Mikel_4. They mentioned checking MSI afterburner or EVGA precisionxoc settings once you join. The goal is to bypass GPU thermal throttling by keeping temperatures below certain levels—typically around 90°C. Good cooling solutions like air or water coolers help the card stay cooler. Adjusting the GPU’s speed and voltage can also help, but there are limits on fan speeds and heat dissipation. They suggested looking into hybrid cooling options or full water block setups for better performance. They also pointed out that if temperatures aren’t the problem, it might be due to other factors like incorrect overclocking settings. The advice was to consider lowering frame rates or using a stable overclock preset instead.
