Which XFX RX 5700 xt THICC III is better, OC or UV?
I've noticed many discussions about the Radeon rx5700 xt needing voltage adjustments because of overheating and inconsistent frame rates. However, some users are successfully overclocking their third-party rx 5700 xt models. Can anyone confirm whether you should opt for voltage adjustment or overclocking your graphics card?
It was the Thicc 2 that experienced thermal problems. The Thicc 3 is intended to resolve those concerns:

Additionally, be aware of some people who still face thermal issues by doing things like:
-getting a high-end glass front panel chassis with fans almost touching the glass. Because the glass is clear, airflow might not be sufficient...
-loading the chassis with multiple LED fans without considering airflow or using only one or two.
-installing a liquid cooler on the CPU, as a 200w+ GPU will often consume more power than it should.
All of this can lead to complaints about high GPU temperatures...

I was one of those lol... (unfortunately, in my area there aren't many options for cases, making it tough to choose one that fits a reasonable budget), but now I've fixed most of the problem and have a much better airflow inside the case (at least with the "cheap" 120mm Cougar fans I installed). Still, the case and components look great, and people who visit my home usually say "wow", "nice", "it looks cool". Just to be clear, RGB doesn't make your PC faster.
