X1 GPU OC Basics
Your PSU Needs to be up to the task, crank your Case fans to 100% for best possible cooling
Your MB, CPU, RAM -- Need to be Rock solid / stable Make sure Windows 10 Fast Startup is Off (when upgrading hardware, software & firmware) I go offline to install, then shut down All background software - yep, even security software When you open X1 - Run it as Administrator
1) Slide your Temp & Power targets Full right & set your fans at 100%
2) Small adjustment to your GPU MHz - maybe 20 MHz at a time & test for stability
- run benchmark software to load the card to manually test for better GPU OC
Why 20 MHz -- that is 1 Step for the 20 series cards
Use 15 MHz for 10 series cards = 1 Step
3) From Max OC --> I reduce by 10% for best day to day stability
Stability from program to program Can Be Different: whether Games or Benchmarks you can expect different Stable OC settings, especially if your at the edge of stability
