    Question Can I OC RTX 3060 at 185W?

    Hi All 👋🏻, I have an Asus Dual RTX 3060 OC V2. The card was hitting 90°C at 100% power due to bad thermal paste. I was throttling the card to run at 90% power and hitting 81°C for 5 months. (Score 4880). (160W) Performance sucked. Then now I took a huge risk and repasted the card with Arctic...

    Question Any other way to reduce temps ?

    As title says I'm trying to get temps a little lower. I've never under/overclocked in my life. When I built my PC they were out of 14700k so i went with the Intel i9-14900k. I'm using an air cooler which i know swapping to AIO would potentially help a bit but ideally I'd like to avoid messing...

    Question GPU requires underclocking for DX12 and Vulkan game engines

    Hey All - this is a unique one. I have had an RTX 2060 for a few years. The first thing I noticed with the card was that RTX features would crash instantly. I brushed this aside as RTX wasn't too important to me at the time. It has a unique issue I noticed when games started being DX12 or...

    While building a system from used parts, I installed a GTX 650 Ti BOOST, and the only way I could get games to run on it is if I underclocked the GPU. CPU is AMD Athlon II X2 250. When I start a game without underclocking the GPU, the game will crash without fail. If I overclock the GPU even...

    [SOLVED] EVGA 1080TI SC II artifacts crash, I've RMA'd 5 times now...

    Underclocking the memory usually gives me some time before artifacts and crash, but its absurd to expect to have to do such just to not have your time ruined. Even with the memory underclocked, I still end up with crashes later. Just more game time at best. I'm on my 5th 1080ti via RMA. My PSU...
