OVERCLOCK your GTX 1660 Super for More FPS!

I wouldnt recommend going up by increments of 100 on the core clock. You can get a more accurate maximum if you go up by increments of 20 or 30. That’s just a recommendation though. Great video btw man ! :)

[@ImWateringPSUs]

That’s good advice, it’s gonna take more time but be more accurate! I like to fast track my crash point first and then fine tune it, but it really is just a methodology difference! Thanks a lot for commenting!

I have a 1660 Super and I chose to do both methods, the manual overclocking and the automatic ( Overclocking Scanner ). In the manual method, I chose to put in the Core Clock 170 MHz. In the 'Overclocking' Scanner option that does it automatically, it took about 30 minutes to complete, and it chose to put in the Core Clock 114 MHz and 200 MHz in the memory clock. I decided to use the automatic setting, since it should be more stable and safer.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

I would also recommend checking out undervolting, since the scanner does something midway through OCing and UVing!
