    For a GTX 10 series card, I would use Precision XOC, not Precision X1. And I would use Afterburner instead of either versions of Precision, unless features you want are missing.

    There are various ways to unlock voltage control in MSI Afterburner. I suggest that you perform a online search and see if any method works for you. Methods come and go as versions change, so I don't want to recommend one method or another.

    You can open the properties (settings) in MSI AB and under the "General" tab, look for the setting marked in blue.

    wow really why? Have been using X1 and like it. Seems to work well?

    Because XOC was made for GTX cards and X1 was made for RTX cards. X1 usually works for GTX cards, but there are often features of X1 which don't work or are incompatible with GTX cards, and that creates frustration and confusion.

    I hear ya..But you'll need to work around that with PX1 if you want to overvolt and have it be applied at startup, or not.

    The best way, I think, would be to use NVIDIA Inspector..You may need 7-Zip to extract the .rar after you Download NVIDIA Inspector.

    Click "Show Overclocking"..Accept the warning..Then move the "Over Voltage" slider to where you want it..Then click "Apply Clocks & Voltage"..Then right-click on "Create Clocks Shortcut"..Then "Create Clock Startup Task"..Close NVIDIA Inspector..After that, your overvolt will be applied at Windows startup..To undo it, click "Remove Clock Startup Task".
     
    You can try it and see how it works for you..Works flawlessly for me..No muss, no fuss.

    Unfortunately, I would have to agree that MSI afterburner is the more reliable program to use - unless you are running a 3-fan icx2 board from EVGA ( then use PrecX )

    Both the fan and overvoltage sliders are greyed out? :(
