How to Overclock EVGA RTX 2080 XC Ultra (Graphics Card) with Precision X1

[@1GreatLake]

Wow, you explain it better than EVGA'S Offical video. Awesome setup and vid

[@glara8295]

I had my PC for about 6 months now and I never even knew how to use software, thank you !

[@nathanielkrause3143]

Great job explaining how to overclock cards for beginners. I enjoyed the 16 minutes we got to spend learning about 2080's =) I just got my EVGA 2080ti XC and I look forward to overclocking it on air and then rebuilding it on water and testing both=) Thank you again for your time.

[@westanikam]

Whatever i thought i knew about overclocking you just showed me i didnt know as much as i thought. Thank you. I am trying to find good overclock for my EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 Super XC Ultra OVERCLOCKED

[@WiLcreatives]

Thanks I appreciate the feedback! It was trial and error for me.

[@benarnao1720]

Thanks bro, idk why the EVGA videos couldn't just tell me how their own software works lol.

[@WiLcreatives]

Ben Arnao my thoughts exactly!

[@Stony1313]

Thanks dude. That was actually super helpful and was the first thing I clicked. Loved it. Anwsered everything and showed me exactly what I needed.

[@JKGarageBMW]

Hey man great vid - I noticed your GPU and memory at 1515 / 7000 the whole time - did you have something running to load the GPU? Mine is 300 Mhz / 405 Mhz idling, not sure if I need to run a 3D app while "scan".

[@SillyguyBrain]

Thanks! This is exactly the video I was looking for! I have an almost identical setup and I was curious how it OC'd in BF5.

[@WiLcreatives]

Jon Price nice!

[@dronenoobFL]

Exactly why im here, BF5...lol

[@kaptkrunchfpv]

Made it into the VRMark Hall Of Fame! Started at #96 and was able to tweak my OC and get to #77! Any other hall of fame is untouchable without exotic cooling.

[@kaptkrunchfpv]

9900k mildly OC'd got me to #56! Dont think my Z370 can quite feed the juice to it though. Z390 Aorus Master headed my way!

[@WiLcreatives]

Crypto Info nice!

[@UltimateGamingBoy]

thanks bro, btw to the right of evga precision theres a button called "OSD", it enables the benchmark stats on the top right of the benchmark/game instead of opening msi afterburner to do so.

[@BrandensOutdoorChannel]

always max out temp and power target first then start with 100mhz and go up in small increments from there.

[@thepittman4g63]

Dude I just looked at what you got in your system and I randomly built nearly the exact same system. Crazy

[@WiLcreatives]

Nice what’s the specs of your rig?

[@thepittman4g63]

@@WiLcreatives I have the same processor, videocard, 750 version of the power supply you have, Aorus Ultra MB, 970 Plus Samsung storage, and a cooler master 500 case

Oh and I tried the auto-overclock feature and it ran to the point my videocard crashed and had hard reboot. Fun stuff

[@NalIu]

PLEASE HELP!!! I went to put 100 for clock and accidentally pressed another 0 so it was 1000 and clicked apply as I noticed. My PC is running still but no signal to my screen.

Hi , is this better to use then the Alienware command center ? I have a R9 with the OEM RTX 2080 super. Do you have a video showing how to use the AWCC ? Thx man for the video 👍🏻

[@DoomFinger511]

The scanner crashed because you didn't increase the power target first. You have to max that out and increase the gpu voltage all the way. Then you can run the scanner.

[@WiLcreatives]

Good info!

I’m trying to overclock my 2070 super but I’m afraid I might cause damage. It is an evga so I can use the same program but I’m curious about numbers and what it can withstand when overclocking. Like what are the individual settings. Great vid btw

[@Enderplays12]

EVGA warranty covers OC damage, it's on their website. Still, unless you're doing jack all with the card, it would just crash the program before anything bad happens. Source: www.evga.com/support/faq/FAQdetails.aspx?faqid=55

[@timxhustle91]

I have the same card as you @WiLcreatives, my max power is 117% though, any ideas on why?? If it's something obv., please excuse the ignorance.

[@alnagy1700]

Does it have dual bios? Make sure if it does you have the switch on OC and not normal

[@mcharge10]

Great video - thank you

[@ultimate3dition343]

Hello, thank you for this video but I would like to know if your card has a coil whine problem because I have the same card as you and how do we resolve this problem. Thank you

[@WiLcreatives]

Ultimate3dition I no longer have this card. But never had an issue with coil wine. From what I’ve heard swapping out the card for a replacement was the best bet. I also heard that the coil wine doesn’t cause performance issues.

[@victorvaristo5283]

I have the same card, and yeah I had a coil whine. I RMAd it and it doesn't whine anymore. It doesn't affect performance but surely does bother some people if they are sensitive to noise.

[@liandriunreal]

I just got a evga rtx 2080 ti and it idles in the mid 50s I see yours is also in the 50s I dont like that I used this software to turn the fan speed 40 when it was set default to zero(assuming it kicked on when gaming) is it safe to leave it at 40 or should I set it back? it dropped my temps down into the 30s but im guessing that means my fans will be running 24/7 unless my comp is off? any info is greatly appreciated thanks!

[@WiLcreatives]

I think it’s fine at 40, some cards have the option to run at zero which is good for the long term life of the fans. Really the choice is yours. You can leave it at default until you start playing games.

[@Max-tu8gq]

Do you think it’s possible to put an amd graphics card in the r7? Like a rx5700xt

[@tyoung]

Why is your idle temp so high? Are the thermals on your case not adequate? 55 seems pretty high to me

[@exsicario]

my video card is the 2070 super I don’t k know if I had lucky with my if I’d is a error but my go in boots to 1950mhz and I overclock it manual to over 2000hz and the memory to 8000nhz is the Evga..

[@Jeff-ct2xe]

Hey @WiLcreatives - promise this is my last question of the day, LOL. I got the RTX 2070 Super XC installed. So I'm using EVGA's Precision software to try to OC it even more. I was able to do the test that crashed in your video, but it only gave me a 34 to increase. Assuming this is because my card is already OC'd by EVGA? Also, where do you find info on how to increase the memory with my current configuration? Aurora R7, i7-8700, 3.2 ghz --- would it be similar to what you did with your 2080 XC? Hope what I'm asking makes sense. Thanks again!

[@WiLcreatives]

You are correct in your assumption. The card is already overclocked. You may be able to get an additional 50mhz on the core instead of 34mhz. Depends on stability of the system. With the memory OC I would try every 200-400mhz at a time. Usually maybe around an additional 500-700mhz most people are able to do. Again it’s all about the stability of your system.

[@Jeff-ct2xe]

@@WiLcreatives and what is the best way for me to test stability? Continue running benchmark tests in 3dMark? Or a stress test? Haven't done a stress test with 3d Mark yet, but would that let me know if my numbers are too high?

[@robusmc1713]

any help overclock settings for 2070 xc ultra?

[@Jeff-ct2xe]

Why is it okay to give voltage all the way to 100? Can that hurt it?

[@WiLcreatives]

That slider really doesn’t change anything come to find out. You won’t hurt your system with that. As long as you are providing full power delivery

[@anewdimnsion]

Im just getting into this and video was def helpful. Any suggestions for 2070 Super FE?

[@WiLcreatives]

You can use MSI afterburner to pretty much do the same overclocking and fan curves. I think I will do a video in regards to that soon. Do you already have the card or are you thinking about buying it?

[@anewdimnsion]

@@WiLcreatives already have it. Followed the steps in this video and kept the oc to 25mhz Running destiny 2 really well but i know at this point my r5 2400g is holding me back. Time to start looking at r7 2700 Lmao

[@mikenyagawa3929]

@@WiLcreatives thank you

[@onetime5545]

Just got this card yesterday. I'm pretty new to OC'ing so I have some questions. Will doing this method harm the card in any way? What is the max temperature you would want to be around? Also, sometimes I have some big gaming sessons, like 8hrs. Would it be ok to OC even during those long sessions? I want to get the most fps out of it I can without damaging it.

[@WiLcreatives]

one time No it won’t the card would shut down before you get to a point her something starts to go wrong. Once you find out your max stable OC then drop it by maybe 20mhz for long sessions. Temps with this card should be no higher than 65-70 degrees with good airflow.

[@WiLcreatives]

Issa what type of help are you looking for? If the scan doesn’t work keep up the core by 25mhz until it becomes unstable, then back it down.

[@ScvmmN]

​@@WiLcreatives i managed to figure out my OC im not sure if this is good but for gpu clock i got it stable at 85 as higher wasnt happy with my GPU as for the memory clock i left it on 1000 as im scared to put it higher. im not sure what the mem clock does im confused by it. EDIT: i also maxed out the voltage core. as for the scan the digits werent high it only got me score of 25. so i decided to manually do it as i know it capable of more than that. so right now im sitting at 85 CLOCK GPU / VOLTAGE MAXED and memory sat on 1000 im scared to go higher than 1000.

[@WiLcreatives]

Nice great job!

[@ScvmmN]

WiLcreatives is that good enough? I’m not too sure

[@WiLcreatives]

Issa it’s really what ever your card can take. 1000 on the memory is great. The core clock just depends on silicon lottery it different for everybody. 85 additional MHz on the clock is still pretty good.

[@SeanBurns]

Hey man I'm confused, after you increase the clock/mem and its stable do you leave the voltage/power at high and fan curve at aggressive or do you turn them back to normal? Thanks for help

[@kentd2869]

voltage is the allowed range for the card to get from the psu but its not the live voltage thats being pulled from the psu, for the fan curve it's personal preference, you can use a quieter fan curve but it will give higher temp under load (less accustics) and when the card reaches the max temp it will reduce the clock speed to maintain below that max temp Wil's vid is for how to oc, for mechanisms and logics behind it I suggest Jayz2cent's vid, there's one specifically show how the card reacts to oc, I hope this helps

[@fabianschmeltzer]

1 question: I get around 300 GPU clock boost, is there a reason why you peak around 100 Is 300 too dangerous My system crashes around 400 clock boost😅

I no longer have this particular system but 75 - 100 on the core clock for OC is the safe range. You don’t want an unstable system.
