"Hey guys, just wanted to start a thread on overclocking our GPUs, since I've been experimenting with it and I think it can be a game-changer for those looking to squeeze out some extra performance. I've got a GTX 1660 Super and I've managed to bump up the clock speed by 200MHz, but I'm curious to know how you more experienced overclockers do it. What are some tips and tricks for beginners?"

"Dude, thanks for the thread! I've been trying to squeeze some extra FPS out of my 3080 ti for a while now, and this guide is super helpful. I managed to get a 10% boost in performance with minimal voltage increase, nice!"

"Dude, I gotta disagree with part of op's guide. They mentioned only doing bios tweaks for OC, but I think it's worth mentioning that manual voltage control can be a game-changer for some rigs, just be careful not to overvolt and kill your GPU. Has anyone else had success with manual voltage control?"

"Dude, don't try to overclock your GPU if you don't know what you're doing! You'll just end up frying it and wasting your money. This guide is pretty solid, though - OP's got some good advice on how to safely push your GPU to its limits"

"Hey guys, I've had some luck with overclocking my Nvidia 3060 with a manual adjustment of the core clock by 20-25% and a voltage boost of 0.05v. I've seen a decent bump in performance on my mining rig. Anyone else have luck with this combo?"

"Hey guys, just wanna share my recent experience with overclocking my RTX 3070. I was skeptical at first, but after using MSI Afterburner, I managed to squeeze out an extra 100 MHz from my core clock without any stability issues. Now I'm rocking 90 FPS in 1440p on Fortnite, so thumbs up for this guide"

"Dude, I gotta say, don't push your GPU too hard if you're new to overclocking. I tried to push my 3060 a bit too far and ended up with a whole lot of heat and a pretty pricey replacement. Start with small increments, man, and be careful not to brick your card"

"Yoo, just wanna throw in that you gotta make sure your power supply can handle the increased power draw before attempting to OC. I was able to squeeze out an extra 100Mhz on my RTX 3070 without issues, but I had to upgrade my PSU beforehand. Good luck with the guide!"
