Lazy Overclocking & Undervolting RTX 3060 LP
Last updated on 2 years ago
Prologue·
After the Lenovo Tech came to my home and replaced my heatsink, I’m able to mess around with higher TDP on my 3060 again.
My 3060·
I don’t really know how good my 3060 is binned, but it seems pretty decent to me.
Micron VRAM·
I don’t mine, thus in my daily usage(casual gaming with AAA title like Tomb Raider and GTA and E-Sports titles like LOL and CSGO), I don’t really feel a difference comparing to my old mobo that has Samsung VRAM. However, Micron failed even with mild OC due to hot temps. Hence I have to stick with +400 on M.CLK.
OC Procedure·
Open up curve editor·
I’m a lazy guy and I don’t like gay lines. Therefore, I just open up MSI AfterBurner and jump right in onto the curve editor.
Drag the whole curve·
It is a lazy method because of how simple it is to be achieving what I wanted:
Basically I just drag the point at .85V up to 1830-1850 ish, then Re-select and drag the points right to 1V to the bottom. And here we are, the OC&UV is done!
VRAM OC·
Simply adding 400 on the M.CLK is more than enough.
| VRAM OC(Micron) | Result | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 400 | ✅ |
| 2 | 800 | ❎ |
| 3 | 1200 | ❎ |
Micron VRAM runs really hot thus anything higher than or equal to 800 gives a CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT. (Yeah, it’s hilarious how GPU OC causes a CPU often related BSOD)
Result·
Conclusion·
By default, the 3060 LP could only get to 8512 on Timespy, with this no-brainer +189 on C.CLK and +400 on M.CLK, a 10% increase in performance is clearly noticeable.
