Two queries regarding boosting core voltage for my MSI R9 380 4GB GPU
I need to boost my GPU's performance by raising the core voltage using MSI Afterburner. So far I've only achieved a 1090mhz core clock and a 1470mhz memory clock, which might not be sufficient compared to what others have achieved. The MSI R9 380's standard core and memory speeds are 980mhz and 1425mhz respectively. I have a couple of questions regarding adjusting the core voltage:
1. What is the default core voltage for the MSI Radeon R9 380 when it comes out of the box?
2. What is the highest safe voltage I can set without damaging the card or causing overheating?
OCD Tweaker:
core clock 1000 MHz
1792 mem
the standard speeds
when OC heat is your opponent
Thanks for the reply, but I was asking about how much voltage increase can be made before instability or damage to my GPU.
Also, the speeds you mentioned aren't the ones for the R9 380. Did you mix it up with the R9 390?
this is the card i was examining
the increasing voltage indicates higher heat, but as long as you can manage cooling, you won’t harm the GPU
using MSI afterburner is a useful tool for overclocking, though you’ll need to monitor temperatures closely
it’s important to benchmark your GPU and adjust accordingly to reach your target
your current setup has 970 +150 cores and 500 mem stable at 64C under load (without increasing voltage)
it runs at 1178 MHz in Gaming Mode, 1203 MHz in OC Mode, 1329 MHz in Gaming Mode, and 1354 MHz in OC Mode
This is the card I was checking out

Higher voltage means more heat, as long as you can manage the cooling, you won’t harm the GPU
Using MSI afterburner is a solid method to fine-tune it through trial and error, but you’ll need to monitor your temperatures
You should benchmark your GPU and aim for a specific target
If you notice just a few small issues in the test, it’s okay to keep going until the benchmark fails
If you see just one or two minor artifacts, you can pause overclocking rather than stopping immediately
Keep going until it crashes, but use MSI afterburner.
Thanks for the help.
