Bro what's the difference between current temp and junction temp?

@@Sree05 regular GPU temperature is the temperature of the edge while the hot spot is the hottest point at the center

[@craig71686]

Nice video as always. Just would be curious to see the junction temps when you run these tests. People often only pay attention to the GPU temps but it would be nice to see how the junction temps drop during the undervolting since they get so hot stock.

You're my go-to guy on KZbin now, that's official ! Just got my Sapphire Radeon 6700 from Pc Componentes and I'm really happy to see this video posted :) Very good explanations and you seem like a chill and honest person :) However I would not suggest to use the built-in stress test on the AMD software, with my previous graphic cards the stress test worked fine everytime (even 10 to 15 mins) but in games I would suffer some crashes. I don't find this stress test to be very consistent and using your ressources like some games do. Thanks again Fabio, very good video!

[@AncientGameplays]

Thank you for the words! Yeah, I usually advise to test in game in like 99% of my videos, but in this one I used the stress test because it should be "easier"

[@mborhann]

Especially for the sapphire pulse oc owners, I configured the these specs according to my prefer, which is similar to your config. Tempreature and fps changed extremely. Temp was 65-70 degree during game, but now, It is 50-55 degree :) Also FPS performance increased nearly 5-15 fps. This can be very pleasing for sapphire pulse owners :) The furmark score also increased by around 1000-1500.

I appreciate the tutorial! I unfortunately couldn't get my Pulse model stable at 1040mhz for the core voltage, but so far, it seems to be perfectly stable at 1060mhz. I did a two-minute stress test on the GPU before and after following your guide, and with the stock settings out of the box, the Adrenaline software reported the card as having a junction temperature of 82°C with a current temperature of 68°C, whereas, with your settings (alongside my own custom fan-curve), the Adrenaline software reported the card as having a junction temperature of 61°C with a current temperature of 55°C.

@@resonmon I have the Sapphire Pulse RX 6700. I've had the card since August, and it's been very good.

Oh well. My Sapphire Pulse model is still very nice. And, compared to the old RX 590 I used to have, even with my 6700 being a two-fan model, it still runs way cooler than my old 590 did.

[@matyugovich]

Recently got new RX 6700 XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT 309 for 225 euros. And this thing is a fucking beast of a GPU for the price. It is stable @~2775Mhz 1.1v (undervolted). Hot spot in stress tests never exceeds 92C and edge temps 75C. The only little downside is - it has 14Gbps RAM that don't overlock past 1900Mhz.

[@AncientGameplays]

crazy value indeed

[@garethsutherland9649]

Hi m8! I got same Gpu. How is your fan speeds? Mine get upto 3200rpm at around 78c Junction Temp. They are smaller fans so i assume they spin very fast compared to bigger Gpu's etc

[@matyugovich]

@@garethsutherland9649 78c is pretty high m8, hot spot must be around 95c! Maybe it is time to change thermal paste. My fans never get above 50% and temps is max ~72-73. I'm pretty sure that my thermal paste is also dry, the card has been sitting in warehouses for a long time. I'm sure that i can get my temps even under 70c if i change paste. The cooling capabilities of this card is massive, it is a 6700XT cooler on this card.

[@earthling1988]

I did try your OC/UV settings paired with my own fan curve, and I’m very impressed by the results. The temps now are top-notch! Now I’m getting around 53-54 degrees in Unigine Heaven benchmark (1440p high settings) and in Warzone, I’m getting 49-50 degrees (1440p balanced with high textures). I actually have the Sapphire Pulse version of the RX 6700, which is better than the standard Sapphire version. I didn’t just adjust the GPU fans with that one slider like you. As already mentioned, I did my own custom fan curve. My card is still a bit too loud with the fan speed on 79%, but with 75-77%, the noise level is acceptable. And now with your OC/UV settings, it’s even better.(i could even further decrase the fan speed to 70% or below, but i would recommend 75%) This probably had the biggest impact on the Hotspot Temp. Prior to trying your settings (only with my custom fan curve), the Hotspot temperature was around 80-83 degrees, while the normal GPU temperature was at 58/59 degrees. The Hotspot temperature is now significantly lower, ranging from 63/66-71 degrees(the lowest Temp is from COD/WZ and the highest from Unigine Heaven Benchmark). There was nothing wrong with the temperatures I had previously, but this is a welcome improvement nonetheless. The standard driver settings caused the card to run on the hotter side. In Warzone (1440p balanced with high textures), the current temperature was 73 degrees, which is still within a normal and safe range. However, the hotspot temperature reached 96 degrees.

[@raresmacovei8382]

Just wanna share with y'all my story with my 5700 XT tunning. A Powercolor Red Devil, it's a 225W TDP card, with clocks set to 2054 MHz core / 1750 MHz memory by default. In games, it hovers at 1980 and 205W-225W. I can OC/UV it to 2000 MHz set in driver (1935 MHz in-game) (some 1.5-2 less fps in gaming) and set memory at 1836 MHz (1832 MHz read) at 1.112V. TDP drops to 140-180W. For a cooler setup, I can drop core to 1900 MHz (another 3 fps down from 2000 MHz) (some 1835-1850 MHz in-game), same 1836 MHz memory at 1.037V. Temps and required fan speed drop down dramatically at this point. TDP drops to 120-160W. Going from 225W to 120W with like 95% the performance is quite something.

[@AncientGameplays]

Exactly, the same happens here with this GPU

[@xalderin3838]

Thanks for this! Getting my 6700 on Thursday, and I'll be coming back to this then to refresh my mind after work. Everything I've seen on this card from you and others makes this a really amazing mid-tier budget card. It kind of reminds me of the 1080 TI when I used to have it. Also, other than what you've shown in the vid, are there any other recommendations for this card? And, have you tried changing out the thermal paste to say... Thermal Grizzly? Wondering if it would be at all worth it or not.

OK, my story of overclocking this card: 1. Time Spy with out of the box settings - 10537 2. Power limit +15% - 10763 (power limit +15% for all the below results) 3. UV 1040, UV 1050 - artifacts. 4. 1060 mV - 10780 5. 1060 mV + Max MHz 2800 - 10999 6. 1060 mV + Max MHz 2800 - 11132 Min MHz was left untouched. Power usage during benchmark at 183W (which is power limit of the card itself + 15%, as set). Cyberpunkt 2077 benchmark: stock - 47.74 FPS, avg power draw - 126W OC+UV - 50.79 FPS, avg power draw - 127W I tried to test your settings (meaning 1060 mV, PL +15%, mem 2150 with fast timings and 2500 - 2600 MHz), but it crashed. Twice. It completed at default 1200 mV with 48.32 FPS and 130W power draw, I didn't play with the voltage more. So I got +6% in performance with no increase in power draw in typical scenario (when the card is not fully utilised all the time)... Funnily enough, with Min MHz at 500 default and Max MHz at 2800, maximum I could hit was 2655 MHz.

[@H4stur]

With the PowerColor 6700 I pretty much got the exact same result. It instantly crashed at 1000mV and ran stable at 1030. So I settled for 1040 with fast 2112 memory timings enabled. 👌

I finally got it stable at 1050 mV with the same values as Fabio. As I started undervolting right out of the box, I assumed that this caused all the crashes. But it turned out that either the 6700 or the drivers didn't like it when I’m playing games at a higher resolution than my desktop.

Sure overclocked you can get a few more FPS but temperature and power wise the increase is absolutely crazy. Following your advice and lowering the clock speed, I dropped 30W, 10°C, and even 20°C on the hotspot. That is amazing !

Very well explained. No site is analyzing this card like yours. Thanks. Mine, I don't know if the equipment will influence this (cpu, MB, box), it doesn't seem to like having its voltage touched. I followed your exact setup and found that it did not pass the AMD software stress test. Not in my initial 1100mv test, (not in 1110,1120mV either). It was strange, I put it on for 10 minutes and the same thing always happened. After 9':30" the card took idle values ​​and the test failed at the end. I was able to test the configuration with a FurMark with very different results. All tests passed up to 1030mv (artifacts visible at 1030 and 1040mv). I tried the setting in Forza Horizon 5, 4k high getting improvements in fps and frametime but higher temperatures(89-94°) and consumption(>140W) than my previous ones. I find that a difference of 100Mhz between the min and max really suits it, but against temperatures and consumption (very hot in Spain). Very educational video, keep up the good work.

Hello there @AncientGameplays , I've recently found your channel. I find it very informative, detailed with easy explanations and things to fallow, bonus nice engagement too. You are among the few that presented the 6700 non XT card and in the last two weeks I decided to get one, a non Pulse and non XT version of the Sapphire 6700 Gaming OC version (the one that you have and presented that shares the smaller cooler with the Sapphire GPRO X080. I prioritizes stability, noise, consumption and temperatures and less so on the highest possible achievable frame rates. I got a limited case when it comes to airflow with a be Quiet pure base 600 with 2 x 140 fans in front and 1 x 120 in back, but because of no front mesh and 4 HDD bays in the front the air movement isn't the best. So my temps in Cyberpunk are 75 gpu and 90 hot spot. Using max freq 2400 (real 2333 ~ 2367) with 1125 mV for around 115W consumption. Any tips or ideas for how I can adjust the card to lower this temps ? Funny enough if I go say 2600 MHz freq I can lower to say 1050 mV, so is that normal behavior. Also when I try to play with the fan curve it just goes crazy shoots up to 2k rpm and totally disregards my lower settings, my own custom curve. This in adrenaline latest update. Same for you if you try to change the values to the fans / temp points and P1 ~ P5? Last what memory does you model have ? mine has Micron. (I hoped for Samsung) Thank you and have a good day, will await for any feedback.

[@AncientGameplays]

Well, let's see: - "Any tips or ideas for how I can adjust the card to lower this temps ?", well, those temps are actually okay considering the cooling, you can change thermal paste and get better airflow - "Funny enough if I go say 2600 MHz freq I can lower to say 1050 mV, so is that normal behavior.", that's normal because the slider is just an offset and each frequency has a base. I do explain that in the recent GPU tutorials

Two 10 minute stress tests and temps remained nominal in HWInfo, and AMD. I will run some games later and see if it's smoother. Thanks for your very good and to the point guide on this topic. Made it simple. Subbed :)

[@C33A]

I have the XFX RX 6700 with 3 fans, after your guide I managed to take the voltage to 1040mV, and without any type of stability problem. And most importantly, without any loss of performance, I actually got more fps (+-10) and the power consumption averaged 112 Watts. Thank you very much Fabio. I have a Ryzen 7 7700x, please, could you make a video on how to undervolt this processor?

[@garethsutherland9649]

Hi m8! I have same Gpu as u :) What UV procedure did u take? from 1200 to? Straight to 1100v? I am not sure what i should start with? 1150v? Thanks

[@bubblekuku5992]

Hello,but you not sey frecvency Gpu to this undervolt?

[@stephenf2958]

Just want to say thanks for this video and all your others. I have the sapphire 6700 pulse. Your settings are working flawlessly! Stress testing gives me temps 60c to 65c and wattage 100w to 115w. Card stays silent. Only weird thing is the Vram clock, it was showing 2100Mhz but recent testing shows a 0Mhz reading. (just had to disable settings then enable again and its back to 2100Mhz)

[@AncientGameplays]

That's because of the new windows update most likely. Try to update drivers and msi afterburner

[@Gado_xyz]

what settings did u use? i want to undervolt my card so as to draw around 110-130W max. any help is appreciated

[@stephenf2958]

@@Gado_xyz I used what ancient says in the video. Over the last couple of months I have changed one thing, setting the mv to 1100 as some games didn't like 1050.

@@stephenf2958 oh thx man. also do u get ur reading from.msi afterburner? and what are the new wattage after going to 1100

[@stephenf2958]

@@Gado_xyz I use hwinfo and the performance monitoring from my icue software and the logging from the adrenaline AMD. Voltages are in where you want 110 to 130, but that depends on the game too. Low GPU use games rarely go above 100w. Upping the Mv didn't up the voltage used, it just gave the card that little extra for the games that wanted to use the GPU more.

[@Alejandro.budget.gaming]

Just got mine today❤

[@SilverX95]

you might want to use other tests when messing with the voltage setting, as AMD stress test isn't 100% in my case 90% voltage was unstable in some games the card became stable after i bumped it to 92% about 1104mV its a XFX - Speedster SWFT309 AMD Radeon RX 6700 10GB model RX-67XLKWFDR that and make sure AMD SAM/rebar is on that also helps with FPS

[@AncientGameplays]

Never said it was. I actually advise testing in games

[@chockzx9684]

I was so reluctant to buy AMD gpu because of the complains i saw on youtube about black screens, game crashing etc. Its been a year using RX 6600 XT and never had issues at all. 😊.

[@ArtisChronicles]

My 6700 xt didn't like a 20% undervolt. That's what I discovered. 10% is ok, but I discovered wattman auto applied a 9% undervolt. Reads about 1092 mV. I can get a couple lower, but that's it. GPU clocks are about 2564 with this. I know my card isn't the non xt model, but it was all I could find at the time. Pretty good upgrade over my RX 480.

[@jmjhaak]

Worked great! didnt get my Voltage stable under 1060 but it saves power and its running much better! Thank you. the new Adrenalin version looks different for the fancontrol.

[@AncientGameplays]

Yeah, slightly different

[@jt8080]

can you tell me what your exact settings are?

[@manielek]

raising power limit is not always a good choice even if you don't care about electricity, for example on my XFX RX6600 at 120% power fans reach about 3k rpm even with side panel off and unrestricted front case fans blowing at 100%, it's worse when fans get into frequency and start resonating, then whining is kinda multiplied so undervolting is the only way, i don't want to repaste my GPU, i might break it and it might not pay off much

My RX580 is dying so instead of waiting for 7xxx I decided to go for the best price to performance 6xxx for 2k.

@Ancient Gameplays - Im curious as to your thoughts on why other Tech review channels are not posting videos, or even mentioning this GPU?

If I put a minimum of 2500 mhz the power consumption goes up to almost 160W regardless of the voltage. If I put a minimum of 2400 mhz, the consumption stays at approximately 130W.

[@AncientGameplays]

Thats impossible, just decrease the power even more, or install the deivers again. Something is off there

[@juangomar6812]

@@AncientGameplays Do you mean lower the voltage? With a minimum of 2400 mhz and 1070 mv I achieve a consumption of 120 watts. If I go lower than 1065 mv it crashes.

Full OC is interesting, ~2700MHz is pretty close to what you'd get on a 6700 XT without much touching, and the 6700XT has pretty limited OC potential after going over ~2850 (6750XT is a completely different story). I wonder how much difference there is between the 6700XT and the 6700 when both are fully overclocked to a "stable" limit. I wonder how much the extra shaders and memory bw give it.

[@AncientGameplays]

6700xt is still much faster due to more physical unita

@@AncientGameplays Yeah, my wonder was how much faster if clock speeds matched. No one has seemed to do this yet.

[@Rosmarhack2012]

Excellent video, I still need evidence in video games, I have had the card for about 4 days, I managed to stabilize it at 1080 voltage 2500-2600. In the case of the Vram, I did not manage to reach exactly 2100 or the default since I managed to produce artefac so it was stable for me in 1970 and that causes me concern since you say that in 99% of the cases it works at 2100 more I know the 1%.
