It seems to upclock when benchmarking and gaming so it's working but just locking at max power doesn't. As long as it jumps up I'll take it. Thanks for the guide!

No problem.

whats the best overclock people have had thus far 

Hi everyone,
 
So I'm new to the PC building game. I just recently build a High End Gaming PC and recently tried to OC to see what my potential is using Time Spy Benchmark.
 
My setup:
Gigabyte Z490 Vision G MOBO
i9-10900K CPU
RTX 3090 Ultra FTW3
Trident Z Ram 4000Mhz
1TB Samsung 980 Pro
Corsair 850W PSU
Nzxt Kraken Z73 Cooler
 
MSI Afterburner settings:
Power Limit= 107
Temp Unit= 91c
Core Clock= +90mhz
Memory Clock= +1000mhz
Fan Speed= 90%
 
I played around with MSI Afterburner about 4x and each time raising everything up higher and higher to make sure I dont crash my computer.
 
The highest i was able to achieve was a score of 19532 on Time Spy Benchmark.
 
My computer was running normal no crash or anything. Is this a decent mark? Sustainable for long term gaming (2+hours)?

Sorry to both yall
 
im not sure whats wrong with my card, my white vertical and yellow line never align until I go all the way down to 717 mv :(
 
Using asus rog strix 2080 card.
 
Heres my settings:
 

 
Im missing smth? 
 
I did max voltage allowed by msi which from image above is 1250 mv and locked it there, my card instantly dipped to 1042 mv showing white line also at that voltage so I thought maybe that my max, so I went to 1042 and did -1 and then locked and then new white line came up at lower voltage > did same went to new voltage and -1 and locked and this kept happening till I reached 717 mv and both lines aligned. 
 

 
I knew that voltage is my ideal voltage so I started some haven benchmark and still same result, but in haven my yellow and white alligned at 712 mv.
 
Then I tried 3rd option again I started 1250 mv and locked saw my card only goes to 1042 mv and so i went to 1042 mv and locked BUT this time I didn't do -1 at that new voltage and actually my yellow and white lines alligned so im not sure.
 
Final 4th option I reset the curve > maxed my core voltage, power limit, fan speed at 75% and this time I locked at the max allowed voltage which now I know is 1042mv and actually my white line and yellow line aligned instantly at that voltage.
 

 
Is it safe to assume maybe my max voltage is 1042mv? If so i got 2 questions
 
1) Why the graph shows max voltage is 1043 but msi afterburner meter shows 1042? Kinda weird but ok
 
2) In this guide you start at max allowed voltage and you mention that when you lock it in you see a new white line at a new voltage so you go to new voltage > lower to -1 > lock in and keep repeating till both lines align BUT for me knowing my max voltage is 1042 mv cos my card doesn't take any voltage above it, when I lock that voltage in, the white line and yellow line align as I show in image above, is that normal and safe to say my max voltage is 1042 mv?
 
Also note that any other voltage under 1042 mv will instantly align both lines, but any voltage above it will show me different yellow and white line and when I end up chasing the white line and lowering by -1 the only voltage that they both allign using this method is again 717 mv.
 
Sorry for long post and sorry if im dumb haha
 
Also I noticed if I lock at 1043 mv and start superpoisiton it dips to 1025 mv
 
Same if I start off at 1025 mv and benchmark it dips to 1012 mv
 
I just wanna know max acceptable voltage so I can start overclock my clocks

Yep, looks like that is your max voltage. The reason your voltage is dropping is because your temps are too high.

Thank you for reply!
 
So now that I know 1043 mv is my max, I can go ahead and start getting to overclocking at that voltage?
 
Cos as you said im hitting temp issues so its dropping that voltage so I wasnt sure if I should go to new voltage and adjust clocks or stay at same voltage, but it looks like stay at same voltage.

You could try lower voltage.

Yeah I can do that too, but when I go to new low voltage it drops even lower, should I keep dropping lower and lower till it stops dropping voltage or just keep max voltage 1043 what you personally recommend?

In that case just keep max.
