GPU Voltage Peak With Kombustor :(

[akus1993]

Hi,

I was try overclock my brand new Sapphire Rx580 Nitro+ SE that with the TRIXX software allows me to raise the voltage to max +200mw and 50%+ the power limit...

Today i've tried MSI Kombustor, and i've noticed that the peak core voltage was 1.5v!! (Avg was 1.35 more or less) Is that possible? Or is a bad reading? I'm worried for my vga...

Thanks

The avg core voltage of 1.35 V + 0.200 V = 1.55 V . If you don't want it that high reset the overclock. And start over.

Hi Terry,

yes i've already restored the voltage and the clocks, my question is, 1.5/1.55v is too high for an RX580? I dont want to set it so high 24/7, i was only worried about this peak that the vga has received

The limits for core voltage will be hard coded for the specific graphics card. If the stress test passes with a reasonable temperature, then it is OK. If it crashes , then lower it.

Ok understood, so you can confirm that i haven't damaged the vga with that voltage peak of 1.55v? Is... Safe?

From now i wil use max 1.20/1.25v...

If it was over the limits, the graphics card wouldn't accept it. The specific maximum core voltage isn't listed.

But as I said you can test it yourself with a stress test. Any overclock runs some risk of damaging the graphics card. My personal graphics card is overclocked with a 10% power target. That is my suggestion.
