Don't forget to undervolt your gpu and change fan curve (lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz)

Today I undervolted my brother's amd rx 6950xt by 120mv ( at 125mv a game we tested would crash at 100% usage and max power draw ).

Also made his fan curve more agressive cause by default it never wen't over 55% fan speed which is just stupid.

This in total lowered his temps across in mist games from average 80C to 55-60C and lowered power draw on average by 20W.

It also allowed him to play supraland at max settings with gpu not going over 70C instead of lowest setting 80C on average.

So yeah, if you never tried or bothered with undervolting try it and post your results. Or if you did it before post your story and results.

Yes, agree that they are situational. In case if my laptop I'm unervolting mycou because if I won't it will just crash when used at max speed.

Edit: in case of my brother pc, the temps were just horenderous for the perforformance he was getting. Plus the fans were barelly on even at 85C. Undervolting and making the fan curve more agresive allowed him the get much better temps at same fan speed, and lets him play some games he wasn't able to before cause of themps. And the fans even at 100% are quieter than my laptops at 50% so he doesn't mind them at all.
