buying it twice

the real <:brainlet:404155381359706132> move

why tho

because the anticheat on pc is shit tier

anyone really good at overclocking?

lmao I'm pretty decent, got my 6600K up to 4.75GHz on all 4 cores, what do you need?

oh

physically bypassing the voltage regulator on a GPU without frying it from overvoltage

mostly because i want to see how hard i can push an obsolete GPU

it's a R7 240 and without bypass it currently maxes out around 1.5GHz (stock runs 720mhz)

dude, dont even worry about doing anything with that card except using it as a paper weight

paperweights are boring

at least in this case i'm experimenting with overclocking techniques

my 1060 absofuckinglutely smashes the r7 240

you can always oc cards higher in linux than you can in windows. not sure why but thats how it works.

these aren't overclocks done in the OS

these are done by reprogramming the BIOS

im not sure how to do that tbh

Find bios editor for card series

then you flash it once you feel safe

most miner boards have bios tweaked to allow for higher ocs

Miner boards sometimes aim to reduce voltage while overclocking

which is useful for gaming too tbh

are you oc'ing for gaming or mining

this is just experimentation

gtx 1060 cant OC for shit last i checked due to locked bios and a voltage cap programmed into the locked bios

you should be able to get 325 sols out of a 1060 with +200core +900mem +110w

mine will push the core to around +250

its probably not stable tho.

i keep the memory around 800 and the power raises by 10%

it is

just a lucky card

but until someone cracks the pascal bios, voltage cant be modified to go high for extreme overclocking

not that i want to overclock a card outside of the lock while its still in warranty

you can change the wats in msi afterburner for windows or other os's in linux

i use afterburner for it

but after a certain percentage, the voltage slider is useless

i think it was 15%

then the card refuses to go any higher

now you can physically bypass the regulator IC on the 1060 too

but it is wayyy to valuable to do that without good reason
