- How to overclock AND undervolt the RTX 3060
#rtxoverclock #3060oc
Wazzup everybody welcome back to the channel, today we are going through the process of overclocking and undervolting the Asus Phoenix RTX 3060 GPU.
We will be looking first of all at the best possible manual overclock we can reach with this card and then we will try to keep those same frequencies while undervolting the GPU.
Undervolting is a great way to reduce power, heat, and noise from your system. You can either undervolt at default settings or you can do undervolting with overclocked frequencies which is what we are gonna do today.
This tutorial will obviously work for any card, even if we are focusing on the 3060 RTX.

What about you all? do you prefer overclocking, undervolting or both ? Let me know in the comments below, i would also be interested at the max frequencies you guys were able to get with this card.
P.s. small error in the video: instead of microvolts i obviously meant millivolts
It is possible to enhance the curve since some games might use the lower part of the curve: so you can give every point to the left of the sweet spot, the same offset (+225 MHz for example)
Hi! Can i use this same settings to my colorful igame rtx3060 advanced oc? Thanks!
You can try but it mainly depends on the GPU lottery, even if you have the exact same card as mine, the results might be different
@@fgtechtips Hi do you think I can follow this tutorial with my rtx 3060 eagle non oc
The logic is the same for all GPUs but you probably can't apply the exact same values on yours, it needs lots of tests and tries
@@fgtechtips ok thx I finally managed to undervolt mine I set it to 900mv instead of 1.08V and I lost 6 degrees! I can easily feel the improvement in my room
Brother, this by far the most straight forward: step-by-step video tutorial that I’ve come across! And its not even a “seperate” video for OC and UV. This was awesome and very informative video! Thank you very much! I will try both method later on my EVGA 3060 XC (12GB).
I hope my “values” would be stable enough to keep up on Warzone. 😅 But you deserve more subscribers and likes! Keep up the good work brother! Stay safe and take care!
Thank you for your kind comment ! Happy my video helped
You explained it perfectly! Tinkering with my new 3090 and this was a tremendous help! Thank you!
Thanks!
Finally someone’s made a video on this thank u
U're welcome 😁
awesome guide bro, thanksss
Thanks 🙏
excellent guide. subscribed.
Thanks 🙏
Big thanks to you, this is a very precise and helpful tutorial. I have with my GigaByte Elite 3060 now a saving of up to 30-40 watts when gaming, very very nice. Best regards from Germany.
Thanks for your feedback, glad it worked !
do you use OC undervolt or stock undervolt
Thank you for the video. It was really helpful when I tried to OC & Undervolted my RTX 3060 recently. My Asus Dual RTX 3060 OC wasn't able to produce similar number though. My final but stable settings were : 2062 mhz / 1.031 mV / +1000 (memory clock). This translates to about 5% FPS increase in Warzone 1440p and GPU temp dropped about 3 degrees.
Thank you so much 😊👍🏼
Any time!
Undervolting in summer 🌅
Overclocking in winter ❄️
How I didn't know this channel earlier?! Subscribed and rang the bell.
Having stupidly tight budget, I bought this very card because it has the potential to be both an entry level 4k gaming and deep learning card; additionally, it has vram within range of Lovelace leaks, so in case software developers started to cater for next gen gpus, I'll end up with an underperforming rather than an non-performing card.
Thank you !
I didn't read the chat and after ask you I found the comment of this video, thanks!!
Cool!
Thanks mate. I have overclocked my GPU's for a good while now but have always been scared to mess with clock speeds and it just seemed too complicated for me. I got a new PC recently one of those MSI trident compact things and was concerned about overclocking it because of power consumption and the fact it came with a 500W PSU.. lol So I decided to try my hand at undervolting it instead to reduce as much power consumption from my RTX3060 as I could and do a mild overclock at the same time. You're video made it very straight forward. Wasn't intimidating at all.
Thanks for your feedback, happy my video helped you out
Great video and easy to follow. I am using a Zotac 3060 Twin Edge 12GB. Changed to values from stock to 1100MHz Mem, 2070 MHz Core Clock undervolting at 1025 mV. I get no artifact so I think I nailed it. Temps are still same from stock so had to bump the fan speeds by 5.
Thanks, apart from artifacts you should also check the stability. I found for example that with some settings i was stable in 90% of games but there was a 10% with bad instability :(
I have the Zotac version. Ran Far Cry 5 benchmark and I kept 60fps @1440p with Temps at 77 which is 2 degrees cooler than stock. Got no artifacts. For shits and giggles I tried your settings from the video on my card. Running Heaven it seemed to work up until the end of the benchmark and it just crashes on the ending right before it gives the score.
I copied these settings and they are what I was looking for. Thanks so much. I was wondering about stuttering but it turned out my OC was too high, causing wild clock variations.
I bought this card in bundle with i5-12400 and Asus B660Plus D4 mobo for 770 Euro three days ago!!
now i'm waiting for delivery and can't wait to get it all installed on my computer
It's a great small and powerful card
@@fgtechtips I am currently looking for information about the card, because it does not seem to be very popular. I only have a 1080p monitor so the use will be comfortable, and someday, if necessary, I think that after overclocking it will also be able to handle higher resolutions on lower quality settings. After all, it was a very good buy.
This video is my overclock and Undervolt video I made for this card but in my channel you can find a full review of it
Great video! I wish you chose flat bar style in your graphs, those shiny spots at the end of the 3D bars are very distracting :)
I undervolted my both Lenovo 3060 and 12600k, so both are running cool and quite, plus the fan of PSU in Eco mode doesn't turn on. Gpu in games stays under 60 degrees at minimal 30% fan speed.
Thanks for you comment ❤️
Im not much for overclocking but i have managed to underclock down to 915mv@1950mhz.,so stock speed but with around 15C less heat and way quieter.Asus RTX 3060 Dual OC.
Doesn't starting off with a negative core clock curve and adjusting only until higher voltages leave the card to underclock at lower voltages? Some games don't get up to the higher values and this would only serve to lower their performance.
My HP prebuilt can barely handle 150w or so before going over 75 degrees and/or fans louder than my liking. So I lowered the 3060ti to 1860mhz/0.875v (about this point, didn't stress test but it's conservative so it should be alright) And a 140w power limit. It does about 1800-1845mhz in Forza Horizon 4 1080p upscaled to 1440p with ultra settings, enough for now as I don't play other AAA stuff.
Edit: And I compared it to a Chinese reviewer's furmark GPU test of laptops, the 140w 60ti does about 1700mhz, while Maxed 3060 laptops do like 1850mhz. As long as it gives equal or more than laptop 3060 performance while being quiet, I am happy with it.
Is setting mine to 130mhz core clock and 500mhz memory clock safe and reasonable? I'm not trying to break the GPU, idk if thats even overclocking or not
I'm glad I have the same card so I can see if I've lost or won the silicon lottery.
Usually I undervolt so I can have a more silent GPU, because mine is always under load with how much I render, unfortunately the ASUS Phoenix somehow manages to always stay at 40-42% fan speed regardless what load it is under, so with 40% being the minimum it can work at, it's already the most silent it can be...
I honestly didnt test the lowest rpm speed but I remember in msi afterburner the lowest fan speed was fixed at 40%.
As i explain in the video I found the best compromise nor in overclocking nor in undervolting but in doing them both at the same time. Now sure if u tried that with your card
@@fgtechtips Oh I always simultaneously overclock and undervolt, I never just undervolt. You can't go under 40% fan speed with this card, it's hard-coded in the firmware.
It's very annoying because I can't tell by the noise profile of my PC when it is working and when it has done rendering, and I have no audio cue whatsoever for when the software finished rendering.
So since I have this video card my noise profile is the same 24/7, but my noise floor went up by 2 decibels.
That's weird, in my liquid loop my fans stop completely when CPU temp is < 60c and i never hear the GPU noise at lowest speed. It's probably my psu or the pump which is louder and they cover the GPU noise
@@fgtechtips Yea, it probably is your PSU or pump, because I certainly hear this card even at 40%. Especially because my previous one was semi-passive, didn't turn on below 60 °C.
Right now my values are:
Load: 99%
Core clock: 1905 MHz
Memory clock: 3650 MHz
Power: 78.5% TDP
Temperature: 68 °C
Fan Speed: 40%
The fan speed just never changes, and I don't know if I should be amazed by that how ASUS managed to do this with a single fan, or pissed at them why I can't set the fan below 40%, because it unnecessarily makes noise to drop the card to 4-7 degrees above room temperature when it's not being used.
Is there a bottleneck problem with the R5 2500x processor? Is it too powerful for this processor?
what core clocks are you getting at doom eternal in 4k ? I think the power limit of this card is grossly insufficient.......even with undervolting im hitting powerlimit in many demanding games which causes down clocking and negates any overclock......
I'm applying the undervolt curve but it's not working, still 170 watt usage. Gigabyte 3060 gaming oc rev 2, any solution?
Would you recommend overclocking the CPU as well? Or leave it at stock settings? I'm running a 3060ti but keep having temperature issues, can't get below 84 degrees C.
I have a 3900x Overclocked as well
RTX 2060 best OC undervolt just get 75w but Performance max and temp just 46° C
Hello! excellent video, liked and subbed. I just wanted to ask if it is safe to run my memory clock at +1000mhz 24/7? I have a gigabyte eagle oc v2.0 rtx 3060 and it is stable at +200 core +1000mhz (8500mhz) memory, but I heard these memory chips can get very high temps and it has no memory temp monitoring so i'm worried about running the memory at this frequency. I would like to do so because the performance difference from stock is quite big, gives me something like 20% in some games. P.S. memory chips are Hynix
many thanks for your feedback! You can monitor it with HWinfo for example (GPU Memory Junction Temperature data ) but if i remember well thermal throttling starts at 110c for all these memory chips. I currently own a 3060TI and using it daily with mem @1200mhz
9:10 mV = Millivolts. Microvolts would be μV ;)
Great video. But your subtitles got in the way of what you were doing. Didn't catch the voltage curve part
Thanks, right the subtitles are on the bottom part where the curve is shown, for better understanding you can temporary disable the subtitles in youtube
@@fgtechtips oh I thought they were once you'd added. I dont have subtitles set by default.
Thanks.
Can I use your undervolt and overclock settings also for my rtx 3060?
It could work but it could not just like the CPUs due to the silicon lottery not every chip works the same
My volt meter and power limit are permanently locked and I’ve tired everything from clicking unlock in the msi settings to searching the nvidia setting themselves. I still can’t get them unlocked, Can anyone please help.
I'm really confused by this video. Could you do one where you just undervolt the card to remove confuse cause by mixing the two together? Also the background music makes it hard to understand what you are saying.
It's a simple overclock + undervolt process the audio is perfect with my system
@@fgtechtipswow. Are you serious? You are so disrespectful. Just take the criticism, the music is obnoxious, it is unnecessary, and it makes it distracting because of your accent. If you don’t agree, you could have at least not been so degrading and just ignored them.
I welcome all criticism, sorry if it showed differently, I only said I didn't notice any audio issue with my setup, I will check again
@travis1565 You're talking about been disrespectful and then you hint on his accent? Seriously?
The video is crystal clear and the music it's from the benchmark, not by his choice.
Just do us and yourself a favour: try to concentrate on the video instructions and complain less.
Or you could just shut up, that would be even better.
Thank you so much ❤@@fgtechtips
hey do you know why my msi afterburner shows 210 mhz for gpu and 405 mhz for ram, even though I have the same card? Sometimes it switches from 1777 mhz and 7500 mhz
It's normal it depends on the load, if no load it goes to minimum, check with the gpuz monitor and mark highest values for gpu & mem clock for better understanding
I bought this card last week it keeps going to 80 degree after 1 hour and fan speed start raising at +72 so I tried under clock and under volt but didn't lower temp as I wanted and my gpu keeps running at more than 75 while full load , so I decided to use msi afterburner fan curve and after that temps never goes above 66 degree, you think I should keep using that custom fan curve or letting gpu goes +75 all the time? does using that fan curve reduce gpu fan lifespan? thanks
Hi, i don't know why you have such high temperatures, i would probably go first looking at the airflow of your case to see if you can improve anything there. Anyway it depends on the curve you set but i doubt it will short the life of your GPU fan
Honestly you’re fine most cars can’t last the sane life span with 85 temps
Will this work on the laptop RTX 3060? I have a Legion 5 Pro 16 with a Ryzen 7 5800H, that I need to make as sedate as possible. I always use it on my lap, but it's WAY to powerful for me. I bought a gaming laptop, because regular laptops use White keyboard backlights, which just look blurry to me due to corneal disease; so, I needed one that had colored lights.
Sure the undervolting process i show can also be applied to laptops
@@fgtechtips Thank You.
I've that exact card, I should be able to match settings with you and be fine?
Yes but each card has its own GPU lottery so it might not work precisely for you
I have the same, can I put the exact same values as you did?
You can try but due to silicon lottery your GPU might be more or less lucky than mine
I’ve tried your settings tried different minimum voltages still keep getting game crashes
Unfortunately as i explain my settings might not be working for everyone since each GPU is different due to silicon lottery . You have to test little by little as i explain
I'm undervolting on my 3060 (My twin edge is loud and a bit hot), running it at 900mV@1950MHz, it's not actually different from the stock values, it's just that the voltage is way less than stock.
What I find interesting about the 3060 is that its modules are "K4ZAF325BM-HC16" (I saw them on a teardown from techpowerup, I can link the review if needed) and they're rated up to 16Gbps, while the card runs at 15Gbps on stock...
This is something that I didn't really understand from Nvidia.
I would like to OC the memory modules (atleast to get 16Gbps) but I'm a bit scared about temps, I have no sensors on the GDDR6 memory for the 3060 so I have no idea if my Twin Edge is actually dissipating enough the chips
Yes that's the correct memory model also confirmed here
www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/asus-geforce-rtx-3060-strix-gaming-oc-review,4.html
Overclocking the ram wouldn't be an issue as the heatsinks have thermal pads on that area and you would be able to identity if they overheat during overclocking by looking at graphic artifacts
@@fgtechtips thank you for your opinion, I'll also check some teardowns about my card if I can find them
Perfect !
How are the temps? I have also a twin edge but it's not the OC edition, that's why I'm here, I did a OC to 2090mhz with the stock voltages bc I don't really know how to setup the voltage with the OC, card is running quite cool afaik, 80°c max in a room at something like 30°c
Hi the thermal analysis is in the video, check the chapters
AT 11:35, what do you mean move to the left? how exactly
Keep decreasing the voltage.
Hey there, little late to the party, but the vid is really great and helped me a lot. I really appreciate it.
I got only one question, but first some context - I've got EVGA RTX 3060 LHR, currently the voltage is set to 1.025V and the clock speed to +150 (2032Mhz / boosts in-game to 2047Mhz tops), the memory is set to +1000. Max temp was 61.8C and hotspot 74.2C when gaming at 1080p.
The question is - do you think that undervolting + overclocking could potentially cause a capacitor or something on the card to blow up, or brick it? Or if it all runs fine for hours, then it should be fine going forward?
Sorry if the question is dumb, still getting into the whole overclocking/undervolting deal.
Hi thanks, can i understand why you think there might be a negative impact to the components of the card by doing undervolting ? It should be the other way around, obviously it will take more time to find a good balance between overclock and stability if you do undervolt vs over volt used in normal overclocks
superb video tell me after an overclocking on my new rtx 3060 the temperature rises up to 87 degrees with the benchmark software, knowing that the benchmark during 5 or 6 minutes .. this temperature over this period of time could have done damage to my graphics card?
nope these cards are fine up to 93c
It's fine but make sure you setup either a custom fan curve or manually adjust the fan speed.
Is it safe to undervolt a GPU? Are there any long term negative effects?
On the contrary, you will extend its life.
@@fgtechtips thank you for replying
Please make a tutorial to overclock RTX 3060 8GB
Is the same for all Nvidias, you just need to find the sweet spot.
Questa Asus Phoenix è rumorosa a bassi regime delle ventole quando è in idle?
No però c'è da dire Che la ventola non si spegne ma ha sempre una soglia minima di rpm, se non sbaglio rimane fisso al 40% in idle ma cmq riuscivo a malapena a sentirla
Can I ask - how do you know the max mem speed you can set is 1100 and clock +220?
Before the undervolting attempt, i had already done several tests with ordinary overclock in order to establish the limits of Mem & GPU clock speeds
@@fgtechtips OK, do you have a link I can watch to understand how you got there?
No i just tried the avg oc clock speed i see online for the same card and i go from there trying bench's with +5 or -5mhz at time
You need to make trial and error to find out that since every series and cards are different; just push the limits until it crashes the take your records and move one step back. There's no a site for that, it's about tests and nothing else.
Very true!
What am I doing wrong I undervolted my video card in the temperature is still the same as default.
Even in full load?
@@fgtechtips I using heaven bench on ultra 8x 1080p is that considered full load? I will keep trying different things out I guess.
Yes but monitor the gpu load in order to check if you really are in full load. Anyway ad from my video I documented some benefits in temps by doing undervolting
I cannot increase the power limit, it's max is 100%
how come my VOLT showing 0 mV
You have to enable voltage monitoring in the settings
Ho appena comprato questa Asus 3060 per 419€, mi sembra un prezzo ragionevole.. che ne dici?
direi proprio di sì
è normale che io abbia un grafico stock diverso?
come UI? dipende da quale UI hai applicato al software. Per quanto riguarda i valori si possono cambiare anche se abbiamo la stessa scheda, ogni gpu e' un caso a part come la cpu lottery
Bro can u help me pls i got an rtx 3060 and i wanted to fix the gpu high temps so i did what u said but now my pc performance got ruined so much i get like 60 fps less but my pc got allot more sillent and temps a bit less pls help me with this problem
It's strange you probably did something wrong in the process. Downvolting should give you performance boost at good temps
@@fgtechtips do u know how to get back to the normall setings i tried delleting msi and resseting the settings but still is sillent and bad performance
Below near the save you have a button with a circular arrow, that's the one resetting to default. Did you check the issue is not somewhere else ?
@@fgtechtips yea already dit that and idk maybe there is a issue somewhere else but I don’t know how to find it
@@crunchy2623 if you have deleted msi afterburner then the gpu will run at stock values. You should check your cpu
Hello friend, what happens if I overclock the GPU??
In short: It goes faster but if you do it too much it might explode 😅
@@fgtechtips Of course yes, but using values in which the games remain stable and the temperature also remains the risk of something happening? Thank you for helping
@manuelvalentinnavarro-br4hy nothing ever happened to my hardware and I have been overclocking my CPUs and GPUs for over 2 decades . As long as temps are under control and you have a stable system, also in the long term the risk is minimum
next time test noise
Sorry can't i have no professional equipment for noise measurement so it would be pointless
@@fgtechtips no problem, but when testing small cards it's one of the most important things right after temperature
good luck in further tests!!!
@@konomi1316 sure but this being an extremely silent card I found no need of doing a noise test. Btw the review of this card is in another video ua-cam.com/video/S4Z5w0zOFV4/v-deo.html

Tiny but powerful
