Listen to this guy, he knows what he's saying. I knew this trick already from another youtuber and he also mentioned to increase the curve in 15MHz increments for better stability on nvidia. Long story short my 12GB 3060 got + 225Mhz and - 218 mV i capped it at a little bit higher frequency than it could go before editing it and it get better temps at higher game settings than before. I also have a habit of capping my fps to 60 (which is my old samsungs rate) and gpu doesn't get as loud as it used to. Do it guys it's basically getting better gpu for free and saving power. And you can't break your gpu by lowering voltage the worst thing that can happen if you overdo it is your game's crash.
@@Hexajenus at 900mv i have 1905Mhz but the curve doesn't end there. In the highest point it gets 2010Mhz at 956mv and it goes flat at 2010. But sometimes it changes on it's own when i restart pc:/ Im not sure what is the max frequency it can get but for me these settings are stable and satisfying enough.
@@Best_Chuansatienthat is true but it should be close as long as it’s the same model more or less but then yes you could get a “bad” chip that can’t OC at all. I remember back in 2009 I got a new ATI HD 5970 a $400 GPU. The memory was unstable at stock speeds but I lowed it by 25mhz and it worked for the life of the card. I eventually made a custom bios so the card would be permanently stable.

Great video and easy to follow as usual, got my Aorus 2080 super stable with 0.975v and 2040mhz clock speed. Lowered the power from 250w to 200w with the same score on heaven benchmark and temps went down by 10°c.
I got my GTX 1060 6GB down to 875 mV at 1885 mHz. It was 1031 mV at 1885 mHz with the stock curve. Temps are down ~10 C and power under peak load is down ~30 W. I've had this card for like seven years and I can't believe I didn't do this earlier.
how the hell do you get the voltage monitoring and voltage slider to work w/ a 4070 super?? I've had 3 Zotac Amp Extremes over the last 8 years with this same PC and i've always been able to monitor voltage and use the voltage slider (although it was just a % slider and I couldn't put in exact numbers), but I just bought an ACTUAL msi card (4070 super gaming x slim) and I have a greyed-out voltage slider and no monitoring, despite trying all checkboxes (over and over again...), drop-down menu options, and re-installing the application (and trying different skins..). Nothing works. Is there a way to do this with a 4070 super without doing anything crazy like changing BIOS's or dismantling the card itself?
I have been doing undervolting since the GTX 10 series. I prefer undevolting compared to overclocking / overvolting, because the gains we get from OC is so small compared to what we give up. I love having my PC running efficiently. I do the same with my Ryzen CPU :P
@@JagsP95 oc means the number of instructions processed per second is increased ,which means it needs more power to operate efficiently,if u undervolt i think it would reduce the efficiency as we are making the cpu work more with less fuel
@dom47 you're only half right. Increase efficiency is doing more with less. You'd zone in on increasing your clocks while bringing down the volts and maintaining stability. Doing more with less.
For anyone trying this and having issues flattening the curve, after you shift click and drag the bar up - if shift double enter doesn't work, shift click the far right box and type in the same mhz as you want it to flatten at. Also, running Cyber punk settings benchmark I found quite handy whilst doing this process
I love undervolting, it's like sorcery. Stuff runs faster, smoother, cooler and quieter, and probably lasts longer too. Better way to navigate the curve optimizer: 1) Select your node (tab = right, shift+tab = left) 2) Select everything, then shift + up arrow to go up more accurately. 3) Select node and everything to the right, then flatten with shift+double enter.
This was a great video to watch. I ran the Heaven benchmark and was able to drop my voltage of my 3070 Ti from 1.025v down to 0.900v and no issues whatsoever! 👍
I've previously undervolted my CPUs but never my GPU. This guide was extremely helpful! Not applying any undervolting to my RTX 4080 Super, my card was running Port Royal consistently over 300W and dropping well below 2790MHz consistently. After applying the undervolt you explained, I was running the same test at 5 degrees cooler, at a max of 285W and never dipping once below 2790MHz. The score also climbed with about 50 to 18 305. Keep up the great work in educating newbies like me!
Just did this today with my RTX 3060TI following your guide and it reduced temps by 5-10c and voltage was able to reduce from 1.081v to 9.60v with decrease of 20-40watts too. Increased FPS as well by 20fps in some games, depending on settings in games like Cyberpunk and RDR2! Thank you so much!!
Undervolted my 1080ti from 1.050v to 0.800v,.reduced core clock by about 100 and increased memory clock by 250. I mainly did it because it is my work PC and I don't always wear headphones. The fans are now silent under heavy load and it doesn't sound like I'm sitting next to 2 industrial fans. Thanks for saving my sanity and around $200 for an AIO.
On Radeon cards, undervolting usually doesn't automatically result in lower power consumption, but higher clockspeeds. I recall seeing up to 10% higher clockspeeds on my old R9 Nano with undervolting, power consumption stayed the same. I believe it depends whether your GPU is hitting the clock limit or the power limit at stock settings.
I did Method 1 on my Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super 1xFan and it worked perfectly! On Unigine Heaven Benchmark I went: -0,162 V -24,3 W -9° -528 Fan rpm + 0,3 FPS Thank You!
A major improvement in presentation by slowing the speed in which you speak. I would always have to go to settings and slow things down. As usual, a thumbs up.
@@kerryfreudenthaler3842 Other videos by amateurs either don't raise first, or even lower first then cap. Do you make incorrect videos? Or are you just defending wrong info for no reason
I liked your point while when you increasing your stock boost frequency at that you want to limited certain voltage you also increased backward frequency too, but most of other were just increasing at only max clock speed point and were passing lower frequencies and i was wondering if this would have been cause a sharp increment at that point. But you did it perfectly and understood that i was thinking correct !
Panjo - Please do a video on vram overclocking. Specifically I think people need to know that higher ram speeds does not equal higher performance on new cards due to error correction. The games or benchmarks will not necessarily crash at unstable speeds, but performance will be less. It would be great to see the quickest way to test this.
Thanks for the RTX 3050 Mobile one dude. I tried and it works. on the laptop its always best to just cap the fps anyway just to not overwork the CPU. because it also helped with both the CPU and GPU temp. My laptop is Acer nitro 5 an515-57
how much were you able to undervolt it, I was only able to decrease 0,194 V until the game crashed. Maybe cause I have a 3050 ti but anyway. How much volts were you able to decrease?
Same for desktop. Not capping FPS is pretty much just increasing temps and using extra power for no reason unless you're playing with lots of cash on the line.
6:13 You can also automate the undervolting by pressing the ‘OC Scanner’ in the top right of the MSI screen! It automatically finds the optimal voltage-curve for you. (Sometimes you have to restart your computer before the OC Scanner works btw).
GPU2 is NOT always your integrated. My Legion 5 pro shows gpu2 with active percentages on dedicated GPU mode (3070ti), while GPU1 is 0% (implying integrated). Just a heads up for everyone.
@@TheGamingNerd97 on the GPU or CPU side. On Mobile, it possible it's just locked down. I'm pretty sure that's the case for the CPU at least. The GPU should be fine to alter though. What settings are you missing
Thank you so much. I was able to get my Asus 4080 Super ProArt down from 1.075v stock to 0.960v and lock the fans at 35% and get the same max temp of 70C. Wattage drop was almost 100w. I am using a Fractal Terra SFF case. It is now whisper quiet when gaming. I can get the temps down to about 62 if I leave the fans on auto but I prefer the silence of the fans at 35% because they will ramp up to about 65% which is much louder than I want.
Nice and clean guide! Thank you very much, sir! 🤓 Sorry for the extreme long commet, but I guess more details are better 😅 I took Monster Hunter World Iceborne for the test. For getting the values correctly I took HWInfo64. My KFA2 RTX 3090 is stock-boost-clocked with 1695 MHz, 9750Mhz(Mem), thats what MSI Afterburner red out of the system. In my tests I let the Mem-Clock untouched, hence in stock settings! MHW Settings: QHD(1440p), Highest Settings, but DLSS- Off, no HD Textures (because of 50GB download and diskspace..). Disclaimer: That are not the Settings I usually play I took that only for stresstesting purposes. After a first start of MHW Iceborne, HWInfo64 gave me values like: GPU clock: Min: 1545MHz Max: 1905MHz Avg: 1650MHz My Question is: Would you took avg. or min or max values? I mean I could stress out boost frequenz to 1905MHz or is it unnessessary stress to the card? I tried the steps from your guide with 1695MHz just now. This are my results: GPU with stock-settings reached maximum values like: Temp: 84°C Voltage: 1.069V GPU Clock: 1905MHz Power: ~350W FPS: 117 GPU with undervolting: Temp: 76°C Voltage: 0.737V GPU Clock: 1695MHz Power: ~300W FPS: 110 The temperature looks nice, but no more fps and the power consumptuin is okayish with arround 50W less I guess. The low avg. fps is nothing but in general I hope you or someone here can give some hints to improve even further. Thank you all very much! 🤓
I agree. the thing is if you look at Hwinfo and you look at effective(real gpu clock) speed vs gpu clock speed(targeted clock speed) it should be closer vs other methods where they lower clock speed and then raise it. I do one step further by using oc scan to get the best overclocking settings then either limit clock speed to something a bit lower or reduce voltage. I also like to use nvidia smi to lock my clock speed and thus reducking temps even further.
When shifting the whole curve up at once, in theory you would also have to test for stability at lower frequencies in order to be sure your undervolt is stable. You might also need to settle for a lower undervolt at peak frequencies if instability hits at lower frequencies. There are plenty of guides that are outright wrong out there, and while this one certainly isn't wrong, it also feels like a more aggressive undervolting method.
One thing he forgot to mention, is whether he forgot or it doesn't matter, but at 4:27 you can see the power limit went from 70 to 100 and the temp limit went down. He also put it at ON so both are linked together.
got a stable 875mv on my 1660 super! TDP went down from 125W to 93W and max temp under load went from ~78 to ~65, so now the fans are no longer audible under full load! will definitely be doing this on all of my GPUs in the future as power usage is a massive deal for me, especially since where i live having to run on backup power supplies/systems is commonplace, and reduction in power consumption goes a LONG way
Excellent. I have basically kept the same FPS but brought down my temps several degrees and maybe about 10% less power on my 400W EVGA 3080. So I am getting pretty close (percentage wise) to your results.
Can I ask what's your model? I have XC3 ultra, pretty much one of the hotter model and I'm gonna apply this today, 78° is the max I get and aiming to get 75° or less, maybe put down mhz a bit bcs is really powerfull, how much mV decreased yours?
@@jairhernandez4623 FTW Ultra. Regardless it’s worth doing if you have the time and don’t mind watching benchmarks for a bit. Went from 0.993 to 0.860. Crashes at 0.850 for me. Yours will probably be different. Degrees went from 78 to 73. That’s under full load using CP2077 benchmark and Forza Horizon 5 benchmarks.
I used method #2 on my Inno3d Twin X2 RTX 4070 Super because Afterburner was not monitoring core voltages on my GPU despite unlocking voltage monitoring in the settings (Curve Editor was available though so I could still use method #1 in the future). I set the power limit to 84% and core clock to +180 Mhz. The GPU now draws 185W max instead of 220W (max temperature dropped from 71C to 66C) and performance is nearly identical in the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark (only dropped from 112 fps average to 111 fps, @3440x1440, RT enabled).
One thing I learnt the hardway with undervolting is that what is stable in some games/applications, doesn't apply to other games as they all use your graphics card differently, so its best to test your undervolt with a few graphically intense and demanding games, not just one. Also, this guy suggests to bump up your voltage when you're unstable, but it's better to lower the clock/mhz 100-200 you won't tell the difference, the point of undervolting is for cooler temps with minor to no performance loss, so bumping up the voltage is the last thing to do as more voltage = more heat.
This video is legit guys. I used the first method to undervolt my gpu managed to decrease the temp from 91c to 65c(l use RTX 3060) If anybody has question you can ask.
@@gordon.3613 You should be able to find the voltage menu on the left side of the screen, next to the clock and fan system. If you still can't find it, try changing the user interface in the settings. It's possible that your current interface is hiding the voltage menu. Personally, I use the default interface.
Thanks! Have a KFA2 SG RTX 4080. 2640 MHz / 1.025V Stock 2655 MHz / 0.925V Undervolted - Stable Around 22% less energy consumption, have boosted and more stable FPS. Avg. GPU temp reduced by 10 C. The hottest spot of GPU reduced 18 C.
With my 3070 I used the afterburner curves with fantastic results, so this method is definitely true. Now that I have a 4070Ti I use a slight overclocking without the need for undervolt , as the temperature very rarely rises above 60ºC. Good video.
I used the first method, i got to 0.893 @ 1910 MHz ln rtx 3060ti, no temps dropped by 7 degrees, ( from 82 to 75 ) Used method 2 started scrolling from 100% to 65% gradually, found that temps went down to 62-67 depending on the scenario, less fan noise and no perforamnce was affected, was still hitting my 144 fps on BO6 and 70-90 fps on the last of us FHD on ultra settings So thank you champs, you saved my life
STUTTER TIP: If you play competitively on low settings in most games. You will be cpu bound meaning your cpu is used more than your gpu. If your gpu is better than your cpu you may stutter. SO, overclock/upgrade your cpu or "undervolt" your gpu. THIS SHOULD FIX ALOT OF STUTTERS AND GIVE BETTER 1% LOWS.
Or, espeically if your CPU is thermally limited and/or if you're using a locked processor, undervolt your CPU as well. Overclocking feels silly except in extreme cases because it uses a lot of extra power for what is usually a marginal performance boost. Meanwhile undervolting has no drawbacks once you get it stable.
RTX 3070 Ti 8GB OC 1920mhz / 1.075v --> 1920mhz / 0.925v Temperature went down by 5 Celsius (62 --> 57) which is great and power went down by 70-80 watts (~270 --> 200) which is incredible! FPS did go down but only by 2-4 which I can compensate with DLSS, optimized game settings and sharpness. Cheers!
I love tinkering with settings to get good performance and like to see low heat temps, I haven't actually come across this before but it is a gamechanger, my 2060 Super I undervolted to 975mV and limited my fps to 57 and seen a drastic change in heat to the tune of around 15c from high 70s/ 80s down to as low as mid 50s! What a difference! Great informative video!
Lowerd my gpu temp with 10 C and bosted fps around 20-30+ got a laptop with a rtx 3050 4 gig vram just took the settings u provided for the 3050 mobile thx alot man👍 gpu temp before 57 C now 47 C 😁👍
Did you manage to find a solution to this? Mine for some reason jumps around a lot, in Cyberpunk it jumps between 1710-1755 but in Forza Horizon 5 it sometimes hit 1860 or 1875 very strange..
I needed this. My room runs a bit hot and so my GPU was getting up close to 70c which is still safe temp for it but I also don't like it being that hot. With the undervolting, I was getting same FPS but using 50 less watts and got the temps down to around 61-62. Even upped the core clock a little bit and instead of 1830 it was running around 1890 and still stable. I went with method 2 as I don't know much at all about the curves and stuff and didn't want to mess anything up. Thanks!
RTX 2080Ti here. I think the best I could get was 1925 mhz @900mV which is pretty perfect for everyday undervolt/overclock. Power draw never exceeds 260-70W and temps never over 73° at max load with stock cooler. Decent imo ! I did 1800 mhz @825mV but I don't think it's a good compromise, unless you want to keep temps under 65°. You'd lose some fps but it's not really that bad. Basically anything under 1.000mV for this card is GREAT, less power draw, less heat, and great performance. You could go over 2000mhz @1.075mV but it's too much for an air cooled GPU to handle, you'll be throttling in no time.
Gtx 1080 Stock 1860mhz @ 1.060 Stable 1848mhz @ .875 Managed to get 1633mhz down to .775, didn't want to mess too much with that Base voltage is .625 I use GTAV single player to check stability because it's fairly sensitive. It'll crash in about 5 minutes if it's not stable. Also test with cyberpunk 2077
Thank you, managed a 1.05 to 0.918 undervolt on my 2070S. Temps only changed from 79C to 75C, but I think my GPU was throttling itself as my voltage was constantly fluctuating to lower levels when I tried to figure out my initial voltage. 5000 series can't come sooner enough because I think my GPU is finally starting to see its age. Make sure you test out your settings on multiple games. I found I could go all the way to 0.9 on Heaven benchmark but some games did not load to the main menu.
brooo i went from about 86-87c too 71 max, just the temps alone made this whole process worth it, not to mention i boosted it to 1875mhz from the baseline that was 1815mhz (tested in dead island 2)
My RTX 3060 went from 1890Mhz 1.081V close to 80°C, to 68-70°C at 1920Mhz 0.931V. Approximately 40 watts of difference in all games, from 145-165W to 90-125W in all games. RPM under full load decreased from 2500 to 1900. I wish I had done this sooner, and it's perfectly stable, haven't run into any issues.
This was really helpful man, all my games kept crashing on my MSI SUPRIM RTX 3080 12 GB variant but now temps are down and running smoothly. Windows 11 really made things worse.
If it can handle a long time to keep the transistors. I think the coil whine will come in time. I would keep it at the frequency the manufacturer says like 2610 MHz boost and I would only put the 2790 on games where the graphics can't really handle
yes my rtx 4070 boost 2790 mhz but manufacturer web site says boost 2535, iundervolt the 2535 mhz 925 mv (normal 950 mv) its good to me a little performance loss but cool and quite all temps.
I'm glad I found this video. Simple and easy to follow instructions. However, I could not find a GPU Core Clock setting in MSI. I did some research and found that it was just Core Clock.
When shifting the whole curve up at once, in theory you would also have to test for stability at lower frequencies in order to be sure your undervolt is stable. I assume this is why many undervolting guides don't suggest this. My question is whether you are typically more likely to experience instability while under heavy load if you shift the whole curve up as described in this video.
Thanks for explaining the laptop part, it took my 2nd time seeing that part of the video to understand completely but now that I do I feel like I can test this if need be, luckily my curve is already very low and flat, and im just looking to resuce heat after cleaning
Hot take among PC enthusiasts, but you should *not* undervolt CPUs or GPUs. Reducing the voltage means that the VRMs (power delivery) will need more current to feed the processor at a certain voltage, thus working harder. High temperatures and voltages so long as they aren't ridiculous are absolutely okay; even 80C on the GPU and 95C on the CPU is no issue whatsoever. The manufacturers recommend stock voltages for a reason, and I think this might explain a lot of dead GPUs; they were undervolted too much and the VRMs could not withstand the current. No one really mentions this, but these are my educated guesses and theories about the dark side of undervolting. I am not an electrical engineer, but this is what I found online from a few sources such as Reddit.
On my RX 6600, the only thing I've done is just dropped voltage from 1150mV (stock) to 1080mV and that gave me an fps boost in any game I play (when it's GPU bound ofc)
Not sure whoch guide to follow for undervolting. This? Or the orthers where they 1. Lower their core by -200 2. Grab the single desire volt point and drag it up to the desired Mhz 3. Click apply (No Shift holding and bringing entire curve up) Just wondering which is better way to undervolt 😢
Asus TUF Gaming OC GTX 1660 ti - 1960mhz / 875mv (i still can push it further to 840mv, but i went so far from 1,050mv to 875mv, and it saves plenty of power already, i just want guaranteed stability lol) Tested on - Cyberpunk 2077 (100+ mods, mixed med/high settings) went down from 73c 120w to 68c 100w, at same fps (70fps) - Skyrim SE (500+ mods, Cabbage ENB, 2k texture mods) went down from 75c 120w to 70c 100w, at same fps (45fps)
went from 1.037 to .912 stable. Sadly didn't get any temperature decreases. my card has always been loud and hot. Just did a thermal paste change and got around a 10c drop on the temps, but the fans on my card are just loud at anything over 55ish %.
4070 laptop, tried to go from 920mV to 875mV. Was impressive but unsustainable, going to do the same thing later on my 4090 laptop & see how that goes!
Question i have been wondering about for a while is. 1. Does running programs like "i-cue" which controls fans and stuff interfere whilst running "MSI after burner"? 2. Will running both be more taxing on my system and will it create conflict with each other for control? 3. Should i just turn off or uninstall i-cue?
@Panjo - What do you use for Fan Control? Any recommendations for fan curve settings? I have the ROG STRIX GAMING OC 4090 and with your guide, am currently at 2775MHz @ 935mV. Cheers!
Man, I so badly wanna say thank you and how well it went, and that this Kingpin 1080Ti took great to the undervolting, but you speak so fast, it became a massive headache, not to mention I could not highlight to flatten the curve NO MATTER what I did. Anyways please keep in mind when your doing something like this, that the person on the other end has never done this before and although it maybe easy for you to fly through it, it makes it incredibly unwelcoming and intemidating.
Isn´t it better to 1: drag the whole curve down a little 2: selecting the target voltage and drag it up to your desired frequency 3: click apply in afterbruner (it automatically flattens the curve)? You´re lowering the voltage at and above your desired frequency with your first method but raising the voltage at every point below that. That doesn´t seem right to me. Pls correct me if I got something wrong
I think his method is better because increasing the frequency at lower voltages below the target voltage will ensure higher clock speeds in less demanding situations, which may help performance in some scenarios. Also, the "apply" method to flatten the curve is less effective than his method, in that it sometimes doesn't flatten it correctly.
pny 1080 i started at 1445mhz and .800v lowered sitting around 84c got set it to .750v at 1445mhz and im getting boosts up to 1860mhz while sitting at 74c did this mainly to stop it from heating up my room and ended up with a whole hell of a lot more performance and a cooler room
Really thx for the tip My 3070ti Before undervolt is like 78-79 degree after undervolt it stable at the 69-70 degree + I did boost 1-2fps. Really Thx For The tip
You can have an overclock and an undervolt at the same time, it wont hurt anything. Actually, itll run the overclock more optimally. The core clocks will just be higher due to your overclocking, the voltage adjustment will cater towards said overclock. Definitely make sure to find a stable overclock and then find your stable undervolt. Undervolting is nothing but a benefit if done correctly.
@@ammarhasif2748 no, because then your graphics card wont be getting the voltage it needs for the overclock. Overclock first then undervolt the overclock
Thanks, this is the best video I've found about undervolting. Interesting is, that afterburner is always slightly above the Voltage I have setup. Why? When I set 925mv, it works at 930-935mv.
Thanks for the informative guide. Definitely going to give it a try. My TUF 4090 OC with Heatkiller IV is currently run at 43 - 44C at 98% - 99% load, 30C idle. I wonder how much cooler it is gonna be. Can’t wait.
RTX 4070 stock 2835 MHz 1100 mV, for now my undervolting result is 2820 MHz at 1010 mV. In cyberpunk temps didn't really change because the GPU runs at 100% eitherway and I'm at 55*C but the power draw lowered from about 176W to about 146W

The ULTIMATE Guide to Undervolting YOUR Nvidia GPU, let me know your results below and which method you decided to go with!
when amd undervolting?
When AMD last processors for laptop too, this is great thank youu
I go with first method. Getting 140-150w in cyberpunk with 4070. Im on 0.925v at 2750 mhz
I got my GTX 1060 6GB down to 875 mV at 1885 mHz. It was 1031 mV at 1885 mHz with the stock curve. Temps are down ~10 C and power under peak load is down ~30 W. I've had this card for like seven years and I can't believe I didn't do this earlier.
how the hell do you get the voltage monitoring and voltage slider to work w/ a 4070 super?? I've had 3 Zotac Amp Extremes over the last 8 years with this same PC and i've always been able to monitor voltage and use the voltage slider (although it was just a % slider and I couldn't put in exact numbers), but I just bought an ACTUAL msi card (4070 super gaming x slim) and I have a greyed-out voltage slider and no monitoring, despite trying all checkboxes (over and over again...), drop-down menu options, and re-installing the application (and trying different skins..). Nothing works. Is there a way to do this with a 4070 super without doing anything crazy like changing BIOS's or dismantling the card itself?
I have been doing undervolting since the GTX 10 series. I prefer undevolting compared to overclocking / overvolting, because the gains we get from OC is so small compared to what we give up. I love having my PC running efficiently. I do the same with my Ryzen CPU :P
Undervolting is Overclocking why you categorize them as different things.
@@sadasd-n2f That's not what i wrote.
You can undervolt and oc at the same time if you have the time lol
@@JagsP95 oc means the number of instructions processed per second is increased ,which means it needs more power to operate efficiently,if u undervolt i think it would reduce the efficiency as we are making the cpu work more with less fuel
@dom47 you're only half right. Increase efficiency is doing more with less. You'd zone in on increasing your clocks while bringing down the volts and maintaining stability. Doing more with less.
For anyone trying this and having issues flattening the curve, after you shift click and drag the bar up - if shift double enter doesn't work, shift click the far right box and type in the same mhz as you want it to flatten at.
Also, running Cyber punk settings benchmark I found quite handy whilst doing this process
doesn't work
I love undervolting, it's like sorcery.
Stuff runs faster, smoother, cooler and quieter, and probably lasts longer too.
Better way to navigate the curve optimizer:
1) Select your node (tab = right, shift+tab = left)
2) Select everything, then shift + up arrow to go up more accurately.
3) Select node and everything to the right, then flatten with shift+double enter.
lol thank you really, trying to drag the mhz on my 3070 too but i could never, until seeing ur comment
literal legend
I applaud this video. Best user guide of this tool i have seen. 4090/2750mhz/0.925. Close to 100W less at the same fps as stock.
This was a great video to watch. I ran the Heaven benchmark and was able to drop my voltage of my 3070 Ti from 1.025v down to 0.900v and no issues whatsoever! 👍
I've previously undervolted my CPUs but never my GPU. This guide was extremely helpful! Not applying any undervolting to my RTX 4080 Super, my card was running Port Royal consistently over 300W and dropping well below 2790MHz consistently. After applying the undervolt you explained, I was running the same test at 5 degrees cooler, at a max of 285W and never dipping once below 2790MHz. The score also climbed with about 50 to 18 305. Keep up the great work in educating newbies like me!
Just did this today with my RTX 3060TI following your guide and it reduced temps by 5-10c and voltage was able to reduce from 1.081v to 9.60v with decrease of 20-40watts too. Increased FPS as well by 20fps in some games, depending on settings in games like Cyberpunk and RDR2! Thank you so much!!
You're welcome
Undervolted my 1080ti from 1.050v to 0.800v,.reduced core clock by about 100 and increased memory clock by 250. I mainly did it because it is my work PC and I don't always wear headphones. The fans are now silent under heavy load and it doesn't sound like I'm sitting next to 2 industrial fans. Thanks for saving my sanity and around $200 for an AIO.
On Radeon cards, undervolting usually doesn't automatically result in lower power consumption, but higher clockspeeds.
I recall seeing up to 10% higher clockspeeds on my old R9 Nano with undervolting, power consumption stayed the same.
I believe it depends whether your GPU is hitting the clock limit or the power limit at stock settings.
Just a reminder you don't want to use MSI Afterburner on AMD GPU (in case other readers do this)
for Me As a non English native-speaker, your guide is super easy to follow, easier than my native language guide.
I did Method 1 on my Gigabyte GTX 1660 Super 1xFan and it worked perfectly!
On Unigine Heaven Benchmark I went:
-0,162 V
-24,3 W
-9°
-528 Fan rpm
+ 0,3 FPS
Thank You!
What was your core clock? How much u reduced
got a better 3dmark score with undervolting also 6 celsius less temp. thank you for the tutorial
A major improvement in presentation by slowing the speed in which you speak. I would always have to go to settings and slow things down. As usual, a thumbs up.
Many videos of amateur gamers miss the part explained in this video. You shift hold and move the whole curve up then cap. Great video.
no we didnt miss that maybe u did and relized it
@@kerryfreudenthaler3842 Other videos by amateurs either don't raise first, or even lower first then cap. Do you make incorrect videos? Or are you just defending wrong info for no reason
So, why do we need to lift the whole curve?
I liked your point while when you increasing your stock boost frequency at that you want to limited certain voltage you also increased backward frequency too, but most of other were just increasing at only max clock speed point and were passing lower frequencies and i was wondering if this would have been cause a sharp increment at that point. But you did it perfectly and understood that i was thinking correct !
Panjo - Please do a video on vram overclocking. Specifically I think people need to know that higher ram speeds does not equal higher performance on new cards due to error correction. The games or benchmarks will not necessarily crash at unstable speeds, but performance will be less. It would be great to see the quickest way to test this.
There's usually a sweet spot about halfway between base clock and where it outright crashes. e.g. if it crashes at +550 mhz, set your vram oc to 275
Thanks for the RTX 3050 Mobile one dude. I tried and it works. on the laptop its always best to just cap the fps anyway just to not overwork the CPU. because it also helped with both the CPU and GPU temp. My laptop is Acer nitro 5 an515-57
how much were you able to undervolt it, I was only able to decrease 0,194 V until the game crashed. Maybe cause I have a 3050 ti but anyway. How much volts were you able to decrease?
so for 3050 rtx what is ue settings in mhz and the volt??
Same for desktop. Not capping FPS is pretty much just increasing temps and using extra power for no reason unless you're playing with lots of cash on the line.
@@abitu446 It will be different for everyone. Just test it out yourself.
6:13 You can also automate the undervolting by pressing the ‘OC Scanner’ in the top right of the MSI screen! It automatically finds the optimal voltage-curve for you. (Sometimes you have to restart your computer before the OC Scanner works btw).
Manual is always better.
OC scanner always goes to unstable results for some reason
GPU2 is NOT always your integrated. My Legion 5 pro shows gpu2 with active percentages on dedicated GPU mode (3070ti), while GPU1 is 0% (implying integrated). Just a heads up for everyone.

@@TheGamingNerd97 what memory are you trying to overclock? I'm assuming the GPU?
Thank you so much. I was able to get my Asus 4080 Super ProArt down from 1.075v stock to 0.960v and lock the fans at 35% and get the same max temp of 70C. Wattage drop was almost 100w. I am using a Fractal Terra SFF case. It is now whisper quiet when gaming. I can get the temps down to about 62 if I leave the fans on auto but I prefer the silence of the fans at 35% because they will ramp up to about 65% which is much louder than I want.

Nice and clean guide! Thank you very much, sir! 🤓
Sorry for the extreme long commet, but I guess more details are better 😅
I took Monster Hunter World Iceborne for the test. For getting the values correctly I took HWInfo64. My KFA2 RTX 3090 is stock-boost-clocked with 1695 MHz, 9750Mhz(Mem), thats what MSI Afterburner red out of the system. In my tests I let the Mem-Clock untouched, hence in stock settings!
MHW Settings:
QHD(1440p), Highest Settings, but DLSS- Off, no HD Textures (because of 50GB download and diskspace..).
Disclaimer: That are not the Settings I usually play I took that only for stresstesting purposes.
After a first start of MHW Iceborne, HWInfo64 gave me values like:
GPU clock:
Min: 1545MHz
Max: 1905MHz
Avg: 1650MHz
My Question is: Would you took avg. or min or max values? I mean I could stress out boost frequenz to 1905MHz or is it unnessessary stress to the card?
I tried the steps from your guide with 1695MHz just now. This are my results:
GPU with stock-settings reached maximum values like:
Temp: 84°C
Voltage: 1.069V
GPU Clock: 1905MHz
Power: ~350W
FPS: 117
GPU with undervolting:
Temp: 76°C
Voltage: 0.737V
GPU Clock: 1695MHz
Power: ~300W
FPS: 110
The temperature looks nice, but no more fps and the power consumptuin is okayish with arround 50W less I guess.
The low avg. fps is nothing but in general I hope you or someone here can give some hints to improve even further.
Thank you all very much! 🤓
Why can't I see vGPU Voltage in monitoring tab even after unlocking voltage monitoring?
This was so clear, concise, accurate and easy to follow! Bravo to you. Thank you so much!
Very good guide, i can confirm that this is correct way to undervolt gpu. There are a lot bad guides on UA-cam even from big channels.
I agree. the thing is if you look at Hwinfo and you look at effective(real gpu clock) speed vs gpu clock speed(targeted clock speed) it should be closer vs other methods where they lower clock speed and then raise it. I do one step further by using oc scan to get the best overclocking settings then either limit clock speed to something a bit lower or reduce voltage. I also like to use nvidia smi to lock my clock speed and thus reducking temps even further.
When shifting the whole curve up at once, in theory you would also have to test for stability at lower frequencies in order to be sure your undervolt is stable. You might also need to settle for a lower undervolt at peak frequencies if instability hits at lower frequencies.
There are plenty of guides that are outright wrong out there, and while this one certainly isn't wrong, it also feels like a more aggressive undervolting method.
One thing he forgot to mention, is whether he forgot or it doesn't matter, but at 4:27 you can see the power limit went from 70 to 100 and the temp limit went down. He also put it at ON so both are linked together.
got a stable 875mv on my 1660 super!
TDP went down from 125W to 93W and max temp under load went from ~78 to ~65, so now the fans are no longer audible under full load!
will definitely be doing this on all of my GPUs in the future as power usage is a massive deal for me, especially since where i live having to run on backup power supplies/systems is commonplace, and reduction in power consumption goes a LONG way
Really appreciate of this guide! Running RTX 3090. At stock 1935 mhz at 1.081 volts, now seems to be stabilizing around 1965 mhz at 0.918 volts.🎉
Excellent. I have basically kept the same FPS but brought down my temps several degrees and maybe about 10% less power on my 400W EVGA 3080. So I am getting pretty close (percentage wise) to your results.
Can I ask what's your model? I have XC3 ultra, pretty much one of the hotter model and I'm gonna apply this today, 78° is the max I get and aiming to get 75° or less, maybe put down mhz a bit bcs is really powerfull, how much mV decreased yours?
@@jairhernandez4623 FTW Ultra. Regardless it’s worth doing if you have the time and don’t mind watching benchmarks for a bit. Went from 0.993 to 0.860. Crashes at 0.850 for me. Yours will probably be different. Degrees went from 78 to 73. That’s under full load using CP2077 benchmark and Forza Horizon 5 benchmarks.
@@martmeister amazing, appreciate it bro, the fps weren't affected so much right?
@@jairhernandez4623 fps actually went up by 1 or 2 fps. Also power went from 400 to 370.
I used method #2 on my Inno3d Twin X2 RTX 4070 Super because Afterburner was not monitoring core voltages on my GPU despite unlocking voltage monitoring in the settings (Curve Editor was available though so I could still use method #1 in the future). I set the power limit to 84% and core clock to +180 Mhz. The GPU now draws 185W max instead of 220W (max temperature dropped from 71C to 66C) and performance is nearly identical in the Shadow of the Tomb Raider benchmark (only dropped from 112 fps average to 111 fps, @3440x1440, RT enabled).
i also have a 4070 super and cannot see the gpu voltage option even after checking both unlock voltage settings. bizarre.
This is unbelievable. I braught it down from 0.795 to 0.700 with no stability issues! The program doesn't let me undervolt it more than that.
One thing I learnt the hardway with undervolting is that what is stable in some games/applications, doesn't apply to other games as they all use your graphics card differently, so its best to test your undervolt with a few graphically intense and demanding games, not just one.
Also, this guy suggests to bump up your voltage when you're unstable, but it's better to lower the clock/mhz 100-200 you won't tell the difference, the point of undervolting is for cooler temps with minor to no performance loss, so bumping up the voltage is the last thing to do as more voltage = more heat.
This video is legit guys. I used the first method to undervolt my gpu managed to decrease the temp from 91c to 65c(l use RTX 3060)
If anybody has question you can ask.
where did you find gpu voltage in the monitoring tab? Can't seem to find it
@@gordon.3613 You can't find the voltage menu from the MSI?
@@LeoTheJust Yep on MSI afterburner.
@@gordon.3613 You should be able to find the voltage menu on the left side of the screen, next to the clock and fan system. If you still can't find it, try changing the user interface in the settings. It's possible that your current interface is hiding the voltage menu. Personally, I use the default interface.
@@LeoTheJust alright I’ll try that then.
You can use the Nvidia Performance overlay on a Laptop to monitor the GPU voltage
Thanks! Have a KFA2 SG RTX 4080.
2640 MHz / 1.025V Stock
2655 MHz / 0.925V Undervolted - Stable
Around 22% less energy consumption, have boosted and more stable FPS. Avg. GPU temp reduced by 10 C. The hottest spot of GPU reduced 18 C.
Love the tempo of your vids. No dragging around.
Thanks!!!
With my 3070 I used the afterburner curves with fantastic results, so this method is definitely true. Now that I have a 4070Ti I use a slight overclocking without the need for undervolt
, as the temperature very rarely rises above 60ºC. Good video.
I used the first method, i got to 0.893 @ 1910 MHz ln rtx 3060ti, no temps dropped by 7 degrees, ( from 82 to 75 )
Used method 2 started scrolling from 100% to 65% gradually, found that temps went down to 62-67 depending on the scenario, less fan noise and no perforamnce was affected, was still hitting my 144 fps on BO6 and 70-90 fps on the last of us FHD on ultra settings
So thank you champs, you saved my life
STUTTER TIP: If you play competitively on low settings in most games. You will be cpu bound meaning your cpu is used more than your gpu. If your gpu is better than your cpu you may stutter. SO, overclock/upgrade your cpu or "undervolt" your gpu. THIS SHOULD FIX ALOT OF STUTTERS AND GIVE BETTER 1% LOWS.
Or, espeically if your CPU is thermally limited and/or if you're using a locked processor, undervolt your CPU as well. Overclocking feels silly except in extreme cases because it uses a lot of extra power for what is usually a marginal performance boost. Meanwhile undervolting has no drawbacks once you get it stable.
RTX 3070 Ti 8GB OC
1920mhz / 1.075v --> 1920mhz / 0.925v
Temperature went down by 5 Celsius (62 --> 57) which is great and power went down by 70-80 watts (~270 --> 200) which is incredible!
FPS did go down but only by 2-4 which I can compensate with DLSS, optimized game settings and sharpness. Cheers!
I love tinkering with settings to get good performance and like to see low heat temps, I haven't actually come across this before but it is a gamechanger, my 2060 Super I undervolted to 975mV and limited my fps to 57 and seen a drastic change in heat to the tune of around 15c from high 70s/ 80s down to as low as mid 50s! What a difference! Great informative video!
Lowerd my gpu temp with 10 C and bosted fps around 20-30+ got a laptop with a rtx 3050 4 gig vram just took the settings u provided for the 3050 mobile thx alot man👍 gpu temp before 57 C now 47 C 😁👍
What should I do if my GPU won't "settle down"? Where as yours settled down at 2790MHz, mine fluctuates A LOT and never really stands still.
That is because your temperature is hitting the limit again and again. Try to use a much lower max clock speed and do the steps it worked for me.
@@harshabhimanyu6106 what do you mean by using a much lower max clocks speed how do i do that with msi afterburner exactly?
@@yaduvirseeruttun4925 the same thing which is done in the video but go much lower like to 1400 1300 mhz
Did you manage to find a solution to this? Mine for some reason jumps around a lot, in Cyberpunk it jumps between 1710-1755 but in Forza Horizon 5 it sometimes hit 1860 or 1875 very strange..
I needed this. My room runs a bit hot and so my GPU was getting up close to 70c which is still safe temp for it but I also don't like it being that hot. With the undervolting, I was getting same FPS but using 50 less watts and got the temps down to around 61-62. Even upped the core clock a little bit and instead of 1830 it was running around 1890 and still stable. I went with method 2 as I don't know much at all about the curves and stuff and didn't want to mess anything up. Thanks!
Managed a decrease of almost 20% power usage while having the same fps, great guide
RTX 2080Ti here.
I think the best I could get was 1925 mhz @900mV which is pretty perfect for everyday undervolt/overclock. Power draw never exceeds 260-70W and temps never over 73° at max load with stock cooler. Decent imo !
I did 1800 mhz @825mV but I don't think it's a good compromise, unless you want to keep temps under 65°. You'd lose some fps but it's not really that bad.
Basically anything under 1.000mV for this card is GREAT, less power draw, less heat, and great performance.
You could go over 2000mhz @1.075mV but it's too much for an air cooled GPU to handle, you'll be throttling in no time.
Gtx 1080
Stock 1860mhz @ 1.060
Stable 1848mhz @ .875
Managed to get 1633mhz down to .775, didn't want to mess too much with that
Base voltage is .625
I use GTAV single player to check stability because it's fairly sensitive. It'll crash in about 5 minutes if it's not stable.
Also test with cyberpunk 2077
I just want to say thank you for a excellent guide 🙏 legend
And thank you for an excellent comment :)
Thank you, managed a 1.05 to 0.918 undervolt on my 2070S. Temps only changed from 79C to 75C, but I think my GPU was throttling itself as my voltage was constantly fluctuating to lower levels when I tried to figure out my initial voltage. 5000 series can't come sooner enough because I think my GPU is finally starting to see its age.
Make sure you test out your settings on multiple games. I found I could go all the way to 0.9 on Heaven benchmark but some games did not load to the main menu.
Thank you, very precise, easy to follow, no nonsence. And most importantly woks like a treat.

RPM under full load decreased from 2500 to 1900. I wish I had done this sooner, and it's perfectly stable, haven't run into any issues.

One of the beautifully explained video for someone who never done undervolting,
You have one more like and subscribe sir
This was really helpful man, all my games kept crashing on my MSI SUPRIM RTX 3080 12 GB variant but now temps are down and running smoothly.
Windows 11 really made things worse.
If it can handle a long time to keep the transistors. I think the coil whine will come in time. I would keep it at the frequency the manufacturer says like 2610 MHz boost and I would only put the 2790 on games where the graphics can't really handle
yes my rtx 4070 boost 2790 mhz but manufacturer web site says boost 2535, iundervolt the 2535 mhz 925 mv (normal 950 mv) its good to me a little performance loss but cool and quite all temps.
I'm glad I found this video. Simple and easy to follow instructions. However, I could not find a GPU Core Clock setting in MSI. I did some research and found that it was just Core Clock.
thanks bro , finally i know why i cannot adjust core voltage ,power limit and temperature limit when all youtubers can , i am using laptop :D
When shifting the whole curve up at once, in theory you would also have to test for stability at lower frequencies in order to be sure your undervolt is stable. I assume this is why many undervolting guides don't suggest this. My question is whether you are typically more likely to experience instability while under heavy load if you shift the whole curve up as described in this video.
Thanks for explaining the laptop part, it took my 2nd time seeing that part of the video to understand completely but now that I do I feel like I can test this if need be, luckily my curve is already very low and flat, and im just looking to resuce heat after cleaning
The part about capping my fps at the end is what fixed my overheating problem.
wow. finally someone who explained it so easy. thank you now I understand undervolting
Hot take among PC enthusiasts, but you should *not* undervolt CPUs or GPUs. Reducing the voltage means that the VRMs (power delivery) will need more current to feed the processor at a certain voltage, thus working harder. High temperatures and voltages so long as they aren't ridiculous are absolutely okay; even 80C on the GPU and 95C on the CPU is no issue whatsoever. The manufacturers recommend stock voltages for a reason, and I think this might explain a lot of dead GPUs; they were undervolted too much and the VRMs could not withstand the current. No one really mentions this, but these are my educated guesses and theories about the dark side of undervolting. I am not an electrical engineer, but this is what I found online from a few sources such as Reddit.
ryzen is made to undervolt, gpus ur right about
On my RX 6600, the only thing I've done is just dropped voltage from 1150mV (stock) to 1080mV and that gave me an fps boost in any game I play (when it's GPU bound ofc)
For we love AMD, it's super easy. I've never understood with Nvidia why it's done in such a way that an amateur can't figure it out on his own
New AMD card owner here; did you do that in the Adrenalin software?
Not sure whoch guide to follow for undervolting. This? Or the orthers where they
1. Lower their core by -200
2. Grab the single desire volt point and drag it up to the desired Mhz
3. Click apply
(No Shift holding and bringing entire curve up)
Just wondering which is better way to undervolt 😢
Did you ever figure this out?
for a long time a good quick and nice viewed video! gg mate
hell yeah man u lowered my laptops temperature by 7 celsius and now i can play without worrying about damaging the laptop thanks
I'll try this when I get home, 160 Power draw all the time on my gpu is a bit too much for me (I don't pay the bills 💀)
Asus TUF Gaming OC GTX 1660 ti - 1960mhz / 875mv (i still can push it further to 840mv, but i went so far from 1,050mv to 875mv, and it saves plenty of power already, i just want guaranteed stability lol)
Tested on
- Cyberpunk 2077 (100+ mods, mixed med/high settings) went down from 73c 120w to 68c 100w, at same fps (70fps)
- Skyrim SE (500+ mods, Cabbage ENB, 2k texture mods) went down from 75c 120w to 70c 100w, at same fps (45fps)
went from 1.037 to .912 stable. Sadly didn't get any temperature decreases. my card has always been loud and hot. Just did a thermal paste change and got around a 10c drop on the temps, but the fans on my card are just loud at anything over 55ish %.
this worked new sub incoming
THANK YOU SO MUCH! my laptop's GPU temp went down from 78c--80c to 65c
4070 laptop, tried to go from 920mV to 875mV. Was impressive but unsustainable, going to do the same thing later on my 4090 laptop & see how that goes!
Thanks for the Great tutorial, i managed to get stable undervolt for my rx 6900 xt, thanks to your video.
Question i have been wondering about for a while is. 1. Does running programs like "i-cue" which controls fans and stuff interfere whilst running "MSI after burner"? 2. Will running both be more taxing on my system and will it create conflict with each other for control? 3. Should i just turn off or uninstall i-cue?
Really good guide, might try it when i have time - seems good thing to do on all builds.

Now my Starfield runs without crashes. Thank you !
@Panjo - What do you use for Fan Control? Any recommendations for fan curve settings? I have the ROG STRIX GAMING OC 4090 and with your guide, am currently at 2775MHz @ 935mV. Cheers!
You could use the fan control integrated in the Afterburner Application, which makes it even mire useful.
Man, I so badly wanna say thank you and how well it went, and that this Kingpin 1080Ti took great to the undervolting, but you speak so fast, it became a massive headache, not to mention I could not highlight to flatten the curve NO MATTER what I did. Anyways please keep in mind when your doing something like this, that the person on the other end has never done this before and although it maybe easy for you to fly through it, it makes it incredibly unwelcoming and intemidating.
Isn´t it better to 1: drag the whole curve down a little 2: selecting the target voltage and drag it up to your desired frequency 3: click apply in afterbruner (it automatically flattens the curve)? You´re lowering the voltage at and above your desired frequency with your first method but raising the voltage at every point below that. That doesn´t seem right to me. Pls correct me if I got something wrong
I think his method is better because increasing the frequency at lower voltages below the target voltage will ensure higher clock speeds in less demanding situations, which may help performance in some scenarios. Also, the "apply" method to flatten the curve is less effective than his method, in that it sometimes doesn't flatten it correctly.
That can introduce clock stretching
pny 1080 i started at 1445mhz and .800v lowered sitting around 84c got set it to .750v at 1445mhz and im getting boosts up to 1860mhz while sitting at 74c did this mainly to stop it from heating up my room and ended up with a whole hell of a lot more performance and a cooler room
Best undervolt tutorial on youtube bar none
Really thx for the tip My 3070ti Before undervolt is like 78-79 degree after undervolt it stable at the 69-70 degree + I did boost 1-2fps. Really Thx For The tip
Awesome video sir. So easy and straight to the point.
Great. Good explanation and visualization. You covered all the details I wanted to know about this topic. Than you
I OCed my GPU from a previous guide of yours, would you recommend also undervolting it or is it one way or the other?
You can have an overclock and an undervolt at the same time, it wont hurt anything. Actually, itll run the overclock more optimally. The core clocks will just be higher due to your overclocking, the voltage adjustment will cater towards said overclock. Definitely make sure to find a stable overclock and then find your stable undervolt. Undervolting is nothing but a benefit if done correctly.
@@mellowistakencan do undervolt first and then overclock?
@@ammarhasif2748 no, because then your graphics card wont be getting the voltage it needs for the overclock. Overclock first then undervolt the overclock
Thanks, this is the best video I've found about undervolting. Interesting is, that afterburner is always slightly above the Voltage I have setup. Why? When I set 925mv, it works at 930-935mv.
Thanks for the informative guide. Definitely going to give it a try. My TUF 4090 OC with Heatkiller IV is currently run at 43 - 44C at 98% - 99% load, 30C idle. I wonder how much cooler it is gonna be. Can’t wait.
RTX 4070 stock 2835 MHz 1100 mV, for now my undervolting result is 2820 MHz at 1010 mV. In cyberpunk temps didn't really change because the GPU runs at 100% eitherway and I'm at 55*C but the power draw lowered from about 176W to about 146W
This is fantastic! My 13900ks is on water i think my next build will have the 15900k and 5090 both on water and undervolted.
Amazing guide, thank you for this
