I am surprised there isn't an overclocking guide thread. I can't seem to find an overclocking guide or a good overclocking guide thread. My main curiosity is seeing people talk about modifying the voltage map to stabilize/maximize the overclock. Also has anyone seen better performance with using the boost lock in PX1?
 
Right now my PX1 settings are voltage slider and power slider all the way (450watt OC bios). I click on the button to prioritize temps (don't know if this actually does anything). I hard set my fans to 80%. My overclock settings right now are +100 GPU and nothing for the memory. It seems like +200 on the memory caused crashes in real world gaming for me so I just left it at 0.
 
I am getting a consistent 2070 or so at any given time while gaming and the temps haven't gotten higher than 68c. Is there any PX1 tips and tricks out for 3000 series?

Similar behavior on my 3090 FTW3. Two weeks ago COD warzone was running without issue with +500 memory and +90 gpu. Since last week, probably after install latest drivers, the game started to crash after 5 minutes. Now I'm playing with 90 on gpu and 0 on memory. But even this previous settings don't work with COD Black Ops. 
 
The 500 memory and 90 gpu settings are stable  for 3dmark tests and superposition, but not for gaming.  It is too weird.

From what I have personally seen.... 2X 3080 FTW3 Ultras so far... I have my 3rd coming...
 
And this is from pushing them for all I could possibly get out of them...
 
It will vary very widely what the cards can do or not and that's both Memory and core and that will change a lot depending on what program or game is running.
 
There really is no set anything as far as clocks go etc.
 
Had one card that was a good OCer, the memory was GREAT, but the core wouldn't hold the higher clocks.
 
The 2nd one the core held the clocks better, but the memory sucked OC wise, wouldn't do much at all, pretty useless for OCing....
 
So in the end it's all down to the silicon lottery, it's a crap shoot really in the end.

Reason 1A is probably how few people even have these cards to be discussing it.
 
Reason 1B is just how complicated their behavior is between the GPU boost algorithm, thermals, CUDA core utilization, RT cores, and tensor cores.  
 
For example,  my card with the exact same +120 OC setting will do all of these scenarios-
2130mhz at 45C in timespy
2040mhz at 68C in timespy
2085mhz at 62C in Control with RT and DLSS on
2040mhz at 65C in control with RT and DLSS off
2100mhz at 58C in PUBG (GPU utilization at 60% when around lots of players)
2055mhz at 68C in PUBG (GPU utilization at 90% when alone)
 
So there's no way to say +XXX core setting gets me YYYY clock speeds because there's so many parameters.  An OC that's stable with heavy RT utilization like control or port royal might be unstable in a non-raytraced heavy FP32 synthetic like time spy extreme.  An OC stable in the winter at 18C ambient might be unstable in the summer at 25C.  There's also (and this one is largely my opinion) a lot more sensitivity to PSU quality with the 30 series which is complicating results even further.
 
Trying to write all of those parameters into a single guide that will work for everyone would be pretty difficult.  Even the techtubers are barely touching OCing results on this series.

Thanks for your breakdown. This helped me a lot. Over the weekend my performance has been all over the place but now I know it is normal, or at least like yours. I ran the fans on stock OC bios curve with +100 which got me to 68C at 2025mhz and then I ran the fans at 95% which got me to 57C at 2100mhz. I will go back to gaming and stop overclocking at this point lol. I am spending way to much time fidgeting with settings.
