Undervolt your RTX 3060 for more FPS! - Tutorial | 8GB and 12GB | Works for 3060 Ti PLUS too!

[@hans4722]

Thank you, bro. This is my first undervolt, and I only used the exact settings that you recommended, and the results are amazing. My GPU used to reach temperatures between 77 and 80 degrees at 100% usage, but with this undervolt, it now reaches a maximum of 70 degrees (most of the time it's around 68 or 69) at the same 100% usage. My GPU is an RTX 3060 Twin Edge Zotac with 12GB of DDR6. Note: More stability and no less performance.

This is my first time under volting a gpu. Very solid tutorial. rtx 3060 12gb out of the box would boost all the way up to 1942mhz and temp would be around 73c pulling around 1080 volts. Followed your guide and my card has a boost to only 1920 but the temp maxes out at 64c at 900 volts and is completely stable. More than a fair trade off. Also went from pulling around 175-180+ watts to 127 watts on full load. Thank you very much!

By the way I still run the i5 4690 K overclocked on 4.3 GHZ on the good old Asus z97 P board, still no need for new hardware in 2023 as even recent games are running well with high and even ultra settings with no performance issued whatsoever.

After lot of testing i ended up with 925v 1960hz. Have to say, its lot of pain to actually find the sweetspot. 3dmark, Furmark, Superpostion, Heaven, does not matter what u test stability in, because in reality, I passed all tests and then crashed in Warzone 2 after like 8 minutes, so unless u test it in some really demanding game, you will never know if its stable or not. Those programs just tell you, what is too much, not really what is stable.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

It's definitely necessary to do much more for stability testing if you're gonna push the limits! Which is why I recommend very safe presets, so that there's no need for extensive testing!

[@sakalito]

@@ImWateringPSUs yes i know, you do great job, your undervolts are pretty safe.

[@juanlopez502]

this paired with lossless scaling from steam is a insane!

[@Broformist]

Something I don't understand - if we are doing this to reduce power consumption, why increase the power limit? Looking into this because I'm mostly likely upgrading to 3060 from 1060 tomorrow and I want to lower power consumption to about same level as 1060. I know I could do it by decreasing power limit to 70 percent, but I hear this is the better way. Though my tiny brain doesn't really understand how this works and I'm scared to damage the gpu. :D Also, did you happen to test by just how much power consumption is decreased on a 3060 with your setting vs default ?

[@ImWateringPSUs]

You don’t really have to raise the power limit. The reason why I recommend doing it, is that occasionally there will be a spike in power and if you have the PL unlocked, you won’t notice any FPS drops, on the contrary, if you have the power limit locked the card will downclock. I think it’s the perfect tutorial for your needs, follow it and you won’t look back :)

[@Broformist]

@@ImWateringPSUs I'm also suspicious of the fact that doing it this way seems to lower the clocks for voltages below your chosen peak one. Most games I play are older games that didn't even utilize my gtx 1060 fully, and this type of undervolt appears to only work for the most intensive stuff. For less intensive games this would appear to actually make GPU use more power, not less. I just settled for lowering power limit to my new card for now before I look into other ways of undervolt. Even at 65 percent power limit my RTX 3060 runs WAY faster than a 1060 while consuming even less power, it's an over 60 watt decrease. Maybe I will need to raise power limit for some game eventually but for now I will just stick to this simple setting.

After learning a bit more about Afterburner controls I ended up setting my 3060 to 925mv@1965mhz. Without that silly negative offset that would downclock the lower voltages. I left those at default values and only raised the 925mv point, then dragged the mouse to the right while holding Shift until all other voltage points got selected together with the 925 point. Then hit Enter twice and selection gets flattened. I have no idea why most tutorials on youtube recommend to do this negative offset thing but it seems inefficient to me. I left power limit at default too, doesn't seem to be any reason to increase it when voltage never goes above 925mv anyway. Max power draw is ~130W now. GPUZ reports this as a 33 Mhz overclock.

Thanks for the video. I have an RTX 3060 12G inno3D and managed to set it at 900 mV with +800 on the memory speed and 2002 on the core, ran the benchmark for 10 minutes and its stable at 60-63°C with 36% fan speed. Tried pushing it to 2050 on the core clock but it crashed. On the hot spot however I got 73° so I don't know what to think about that. EDIT: I played a bit of bf 2042 and it crashed so I added +50 mV(950) and now it ran well, no issues. The performance also seemed to be better. Had an avarage of 75 FPS in bf 2042 on ultra settings 2k res dlls quality on a 128 player server. Set the fans to hit 50% once the temps hit 60° and the gpu stayed below that.

I’m really happy it was helpful! Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this! :) You really have a Silicon Lottery winning card there by the way! Great results my man!

[@mi27262]

​@@ImWateringPSUs Thank you for your answer. I do have one question. The max power limit in afterburner for me is at 100% instead of 110%, why is that?

[@JSity]

my afterburner still doesn't show the voltage even after applying the settings

[@kleartrife]

Can i stilll apply this if i watched your overheating guide though?? My 3060 was over heating so its on 1750 mhz from the 825 point on the curve

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Yes you can!

[@robman501a]

Hi, I got my EVGA RTX 3060 XC LHR (12GB) running at 1920 MHz @ 875V. Is that good? I've tried to stick around the stock speed as close as possible. GPU temp seems to max out at the 64c with the fan curve at the stock setting.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

That’s VERY good if stable! Great work

[@carlmarley3017]

Same here and no problems 👍

[@multisleepheadgaming4820]

im trying to undervolt my 3060 because of using StableDiffusion crank up the temp until 77c, now it at 66c for long hour of usages now, great tutorial. i dont do gaming that much anymore,unlike my teen years. great tutorial. thank you.

[@frand4925]

my power limit max is 100% wtf? I can't raise the power limit any higher. I have rtx 3060 TI Msi X2 ventus OC

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Some cards are like that, follow the other steps and it will still work!

[@m_milcheww]

Should i force constant voltage in afterburner settings?

[@Dandudanable]

Thank you so much for this video, it also helped me as well. One question though, any way to make these changes persist between sessions? After I turn off my PC, once I turn it off the changes are not saved so I have to do this every day. Any way to save these changes?

[@lonkevych94]

thank you a lot for explaining all that so even i can understand:D I have a question regarding adding mhz to the memory: if i play games in 1080p or even lower res - there is no point in adding them?

[@MusicFlowDaily]

Thanks! I did in rtx 3060, 925mV and it gave me 1905mhz and dropped from 67-69c to 60-61c instantly! :) (in heaven using your stats) I ended up with 950mV and 1927mhz, temp is 64-65c. The default stats where 1960mhz and a bit more than 1000mV with up to 69c

I followed your steps and my temps did get better but I'm getting some lag spikes during some games and a weird noise is coming from my gpu from time to time during gaming which is odd. I have a zotac rtx 3060 twin edge oc 12 gb. Any help would be appreciated!

[@ImWateringPSUs]

That's VERY odd tbh. I'd say it could be the memory, set it to 900mV and 1800Mhz with no memory offset and see if that fixes it!

In my Msi Ventus 2X 16GB 3060 the curve gets flattened on 2000mhz at 900mv

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Those are some VERY good results!

[@nicokru7527]

i tried with RTX3060ti (zotac) 1935mhz on 0,900voltage with +500mem clock and work pefect! 65° max Temp and 1000 point more on Timespy Benchmark:)

[@ImWateringPSUs]

I'm really happy it was helpful! Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment!

It works like a charme and super easy to follow! Thanks for this great tutorial, really helpful!! 900mv with +800 memory and 1950 MHz clock speed :) 69° max Temp.

[@rakesh1519]

Power consumption?

[@TamalPlays]

@@rakesh1519 around 120w for me +-10w

[@maddave27]

Works like a charm when the card is under load. But when on desktop, card stays on like it's under load. It does not go to low power. Did I miss a thing ?

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Do not hit the “L” key and it will downclock at idle

[@The_FishMarket]

was getting high 70's in overwatch 2, dropped to low 50's! big help

[@Sowaq]

i have a question about gpus. i bought a new pc like 2 weeks ago (with rtx 3060 in it). everything was fine until now. i could run for example the witcher 3 on high or ac odyssey on medium (high propably too i guess but i dont care that much about grpahic settings - medium was fine for me) and i had no issues. yesterday i noticed very loud noises (propably coil whines but im not 100% sure) from gpu. is it possible tha coil whines show up after some time (2 weeks for me) of usage? undervolting using your guide reduced the noise slightly. the noise is not disturbing for me, but i just want to make sure that my pc is working properly

[@DarekkoZZ]

I have question about the curve before the 900 mark, will this not decrease performance at the initial stage of run for the card? for example in less demanding games? maybe theres something we can do about the initial curve? followed your guide and i'm sitting at 925mV 1965mhZ core + 800 mem i got -4 degree, was getting artifacts when i pushed it harded, im happy with this anyway, model of card rtx 3060 gigabyte eagle lhr, need to be tested tho in demanding games. thanks for this guide man it really helped :)

I have rtx 3060TI asus gddr6x i wanna set in this card memory on 800? its safe?

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Yup 800 will be fine! But I have a dedicated tutorial for the 3060 Ti!

[@raistarliveff]

How to remove full screen mode in heaven benchmark software???

[@liamm8518]

So the 30 series behaves in 15mhz increments, so you should just set it to 1890 - pretty sure the curve moved down to 1890 or up to 1905 by your setting 1900

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Absolutely, both 1890 and 1905 is fine, that’s why I say around the 1900 mark!
