Hey guys, I'm finally taking the plunge into extreme overclocking my GPU and I'm hoping to document my journey for anyone else who's interested. Right now, I'm running a 3080 Ti and I've already managed to squeeze out a decent OC, but I know there's still a ton of room for improvement. Has anyone else had any experience with heavily overclocking their GPUs, and what were some of the best (and worst) results you got?

"Dude, I've been following along in this thread and gotta say, I'm a bit hesitant to push my 3080 Ti to those temps. Don't wanna risk frying my card, but at the same time I'm curious to see the gains. Has anyone else had success with these settings?"

"Yo, just a heads up for anyone new to overclocking - make sure you've got a stable power supply and decent cooling before you start cranking up those frequencies. I've had some guys in my previous build who've bricked their GPUs by going too crazy on the voltages. Stick to the manufacturer's OC guides for a safer start."

"Dude, I've been trying to squeeze out some extra FPS on my 3080 for weeks now. What's the recommended BIOS for a stable OC? Has anyone tried the 240W limit on this card?"

"Dude, I'm a bit skeptical about this guide, last time I tried to OC my 3080 it ended up in a hair-raising crash and gave me a heart attack. Has anyone else had success with this or is it just a recipe for disaster?"

"Dude, you're messing with some serious hardware there. I've tried overclocking my GPU before, and I gotta say, it's all about finding that sweet spot between power and heat - you gotta keep an eye on those temps or you'll fry your card. Has anyone else had any issues with the new RX 7900 series?"

"Lol at the title, btw. I've been overclocking my GPUs for years, and the key is just to keep a close eye on those temps. Anyone have a good recommendation for a reliable GPU stress testing tool?"

"Yooo, thanks for the guide OP. I've been trying to squeeze out more frames in my 3080 for months, and some of these tips actually worked for me. Can anyone confirm if it's safe to overvoltage by 100mV on the 4090?"
