- Undervolting really seems to be the best option in terms of GPU optimization for the 3000 series. Be it a 3090, 3080, 3070 or even a 3060 Ti, I’d still recommend doing it. If you do it properly, you’re gonna lose virtually 0 performance or even get an increase, while dramatically reducing heat and power consumption. Today we are featuring an MSI RTX 3060 Asus Phoenix with a single fan and using a 750W 80 Plus Gold Corsair PSU!
The tutorial will work for both the RTX 3060 12GB and the 8GB one, plus it will work for the new RTX 3060 Ti PLUS with GDDR6X that they just launched!
We used MSI Afterburner, here's the download link: www.msi.com/page/Afterburner

Thank you so much for explaining this in layman's terms. Much appreciated.
I’m really happy it was helpful! Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this! :)
Thank you! I did this and a custom fan curve which increased my performance, decreased temperature by around 10 degrees Celsius, and decreased volume of my fans.
Great video

hey brother, thanks for sharing, reduced my hot spot temp by like 5 degrees. Keep up the good work!
I'm glad I could help! Thanks for commenting!
Thank you, bro. This is my first undervolt, and I only used the exact settings that you recommended, and the results are amazing. My GPU used to reach temperatures between 77 and 80 degrees at 100% usage, but with this undervolt, it now reaches a maximum of 70 degrees (most of the time it's around 68 or 69) at the same 100% usage. My GPU is an RTX 3060 Twin Edge Zotac with 12GB of DDR6. Note: More stability and no less performance.

how much of an increase in fps did you have?
How much fps?
@@TREVAA we'll never know
@charlesbrooks8616 didn't he say you will gain fps? and by acquiring general knowledge of undervolting I deducted you gain fps, isn't that right?
Following these steps reduced my gpu temp from 87 to 62 degrees under load without any significant performance loss. Absolutely amazing thank you!
I’m really happy it was helpful! Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this! :)

Dude! Thank you for this video!
I've always wanted to try undervolting but never felt comfortable before without a proper guide providing not just the method but also a good starting point for the card. Your video helped me actually understand what I'm supposed to be doing with the curve editor, and in the end I was able to get a stable UV/OC very similar to what you said you run.
Helped me drop my temps by 5C and raised my bench score in Port Royal by 8%!
I'm really happy with these results. Thanks again! 👍

Great video! I’m getting my 3060 12gb later today! Will come back and comment on my results after 😁
That’s fantastic! Great buy and I can’t wait for some feedback :)
I did this & it worked great! I was wondering if I can save it so I don't have to reapply these settings every time I turn on my computer
@@ImWateringPSUs Hey boss! Question. My friend has a RTX 3080 TI. What settings would you recommend for him as his pc tends to get hot & he wants to lower it especially since it'll be getting warmer soon where he is
Going to try this later, thank you
Let me know how it goes! :)
Thanks so much, this really helped. I have 3060 12gb and I was fine with other games, but the only game that was creating issues with my temp which would cause a crash is Black Desert Online, I locked the FPS on 60 on Remaster Ultra settings and undervolted as per your instructions, now the temp is stable around 60 degrees and the game runs perfectly on high-end settings. Thank you again, cheers mate!

Just gotta say i tried everything before in order to reduce the temperature of my 3060, i reduced the power limit and kinda worked, then i saw this video and decided to try, and it works, before my temp in games like Resident evil 4 remake were in the 75-80's now it sits at 57-65 which is perfect, thank you so much!

Thanks a lot for this quick and easy tutorial, I never thought of undervolting. My RTX 3060 Dual OC runs now stable on 887 mV and 2000 Mhz on QHD (1440), frames increased by 10 FPS on average, temperature dropped by almost 10 degrees to 62 and the power draw went down from 170 W to 110 W! By the way I still run the i5 4690 K overclocked on 4.3 GHZ on the good old Asus z97 P board, still no need for new hardware in 2023 as even recent games are running well with high and even ultra settings with no performance issued whatsoever.

only 110w at 2000mhz? for real
Been poking a bit around with various guides, still new at undervolting and came across your guide too. I'm still tweaking my undervolt settings, but I can tell that my RTX 3060 Ti with GDDR6 runs with 906mv +135 gpu and +700 on mem
I’m really happy it was helpful! Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this! :)
This is my first time under volting a gpu. Very solid tutorial.
rtx 3060 12gb out of the box would boost all the way up to 1942mhz and temp would be around 73c pulling around 1080 volts. Followed your guide and my card has a boost to only 1920 but the temp maxes out at 64c at 900 volts and is completely stable. More than a fair trade off. Also went from pulling around 175-180+ watts to 127 watts on full load.
Thank you very much!
I’m really happy it was helpful! Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this! :)
how much of an increase in fps did you have?
@@parallelblox6822 undervolting won't increase your fps by much maybe just a bit but it will definitely lower your temperature and power consumption
@ImWateringPSUs hey bro how to undervolt a 8600GT 512MB thanks
I also have the same undervolt config, but still no change in temps.
It worked well, 975mV and 2002 MHz for my Gigabyte Windforce RTX 3060 12GB OC. Thanks!

@@ImWateringPSUs subscribed. Can you make a video on undervolt r5 5600?
Bro. You are a headache and time-saver. Everything about this video was PERFECTION. Subbed to say thank you for your EFFICIENT video
EDIT: Didn't do much for me. It seems. MAYBE 2-3 degrees if at all(not sure). But it seemed to have gotten rid of a bug. Once in a while I'd get a random ''flash'' where for like 0.5seconds the screen turned dark. That seems to be gone right now. But other than that, neither my idle temp or while gaming has changed.
Hi there! First of all, thanks a lot. If you do want to get a bigger temperature drop, try this:
875mV 1800Mhz with no memory offset, without hitting the “L” key
@@ImWateringPSUs875mV and 2000Mhz work perfectly and temp from 71C to 61C thanks

@@rakesh1519 105W, but I play my games on low preset competitive settings.
Yooo I have a Palit 3060 too can I copy your settings?
@@sloppychoppy hey give them a try test it in bench mark for 10-15 mins or so see and see if it’s stable. Every GPU is different. The worst that will happen is your comp forces closes apps or force shutdowns your PC. If either happen go back in and reset and start again.

I have a Prebuilt Alienware, When i ran the kombuster stress test the temps increased dramaticly then is slowed down at around 63 c and topped out at between 66 and 67. I'm pretty sure in game I got up to 75 which is hot. so it improved by 8/9 degrees. Plus it will help lag spikes!

I've got the 3060 ti with gddr6x, managed to get it stable at 950 / 2000, thx alot for the recommendation!
That’s a REALLY good result, you got a golden sample right there! :)
I can’t even get 950/ 2000 with 3060ti gddr6 I get 950/ 1998 or 950/ 2004 can’t get 2000 even
Not sure if it would be stable anyways
thx!
this paired with lossless scaling from steam is a insane!
Thanks for the video. I have an RTX 3060 12G inno3D and managed to set it at 900 mV with +800 on the memory speed and 2002 on the core, ran the benchmark for 10 minutes and its stable at 60-63°C with 36% fan speed. Tried pushing it to 2050 on the core clock but it crashed. On the hot spot however I got 73° so I don't know what to think about that.
EDIT: I played a bit of bf 2042 and it crashed so I added +50 mV(950) and now it ran well, no issues. The performance also seemed to be better. Had an avarage of 75 FPS in bf 2042 on ultra settings 2k res dlls quality on a 128 player server. Set the fans to hit 50% once the temps hit 60° and the gpu stayed below that.

I apologize for asking what may seem like a simple question, but I am not very experienced when it comes to overclocking and undervolting. I would like to know if I need to keep MSI Afterburner running in the background to maintain my undervolt settings, or if I can safely close/delete MSI Afterburner after applying undervolt settings. Thank you in advance.
You can minimize it, but you need it running :)

Nope, it won’t affect the lifespan. But drop a like and a sub :)
Ok i just watched your other undervolt videos, and it sucks that you did us dirty here, bcs for example in your 4070ti video you did the curve more smooth, gave info about making more profiles etc, can you maybe redo this tutorial? if you cant, bcs you don't have 3060 anymore, should we stick with this? or we should follow some parts from your diffrent videos? i would be glad if you could elaborate :)
Thanks bro. Full load and my gpu runs at 54. I could probably push it a lot more but I don't feel like it right now since I'm not a heavy gamer, ya know?

I have question about the curve before the 900 mark, will this not decrease performance at the initial stage of run for the card? for example in less demanding games? maybe theres something we can do about the initial curve?
followed your guide and i'm sitting at 925mV 1965mhZ core + 800 mem i got -4 degree, was getting artifacts when i pushed it harded, im happy with this anyway, model of card rtx 3060 gigabyte eagle lhr, need to be tested tho in demanding games.
thanks for this guide man it really helped :)
Great video! But i want to ask if there is a difference between 3060ti and 3060ti plus?
Thanks a lot😇 There is a performance difference, but both get undervolted in the same way!
Grazie per la guida!
Ho notato notevoli cambiamenti, ma...
Con il voltaggio in stock: 83watt in idle e 322watt in gioco (intero sistema)
Con il voltaggio a 900mv: 112watt in idle e 266watt in gioco (intero sistema)
Mi sapresti consigliare un modo per non consumare 30watt in piu quando la scheda è in idle?
Per ora attivo il profilo con il voltaggio modificato solo quando gioco
Mi fa molto piacere! Per quanto riguarda il wattaggio, vuol dire che la GPU non downclocka del tutto in idle. Per caso hai premuto “L” per lockare la frequenza? Quello è spesso il problema!

That's VERY odd tbh. I'd say it could be the memory, set it to 900mV and 1800Mhz with no memory offset and see if that fixes it!
Awesome tutorial dude u just saved me form returning gigabyte 3060 oc because it was super loud pretty much unusable after undervolting it to 875 and playing with the fan curve i got it to inaudible and working at 75C, compared to 80+ on default. Thanks a lot.

Hello! can I ask for your fan curve? thanks.
75c is great, but with same undervolt my 3060 msi ventus 2x runs at 64C 50% fan speed. and my case has bad airflow, my previous 1660 super and 1060 were always at over 80c
@@1GTX1 do you always run the fan speed at 50% or do you run a curve? if so, would appreciate if you can share it.
@@angeloatienza8730 No, it's on automatic, on previous GPUs i had a curve..
I'm a little bit confuse. You said that this UV will decrease power compsuption. But I see that when u change for 110% power you left it and didnt back to 100% or lower. Just the change settings of curve will lower power compsuption?
Yes. But only if you subscribe to the channel
Hello, I have a rtx 3060 Zotac Gaming 12GB with a sound of cool whine.

So the 30 series behaves in 15mhz increments, so you should just set it to 1890 - pretty sure the curve moved down to 1890 or up to 1905 by your setting 1900
Absolutely, both 1890 and 1905 is fine, that’s why I say around the 1900 mark!
im trying to undervolt my 3060 because of using StableDiffusion crank up the temp until 77c,
now it at 66c for long hour of usages now,
great tutorial.

great tutorial. thank you.
I’m really happy it was helpful! Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this! :)
Something I don't understand - if we are doing this to reduce power consumption, why increase the power limit? Looking into this because I'm mostly likely upgrading to 3060 from 1060 tomorrow and I want to lower power consumption to about same level as 1060. I know I could do it by decreasing power limit to 70 percent, but I hear this is the better way. Though my tiny brain doesn't really understand how this works and I'm scared to damage the gpu. :D
Also, did you happen to test by just how much power consumption is decreased on a 3060 with your setting vs default ?
You don’t really have to raise the power limit. The reason why I recommend doing it, is that occasionally there will be a spike in power and if you have the PL unlocked, you won’t notice any FPS drops, on the contrary, if you have the power limit locked the card will downclock. I think it’s the perfect tutorial for your needs, follow it and you won’t look back :)
@@ImWateringPSUs I'm also suspicious of the fact that doing it this way seems to lower the clocks for voltages below your chosen peak one. Most games I play are older games that didn't even utilize my gtx 1060 fully, and this type of undervolt appears to only work for the most intensive stuff. For less intensive games this would appear to actually make GPU use more power, not less. I just settled for lowering power limit to my new card for now before I look into other ways of undervolt. Even at 65 percent power limit my RTX 3060 runs WAY faster than a 1060 while consuming even less power, it's an over 60 watt decrease. Maybe I will need to raise power limit for some game eventually but for now I will just stick to this simple setting.
After learning a bit more about Afterburner controls I ended up setting my 3060 to 925mv@1965mhz. Without that silly negative offset that would downclock the lower voltages. I left those at default values and only raised the 925mv point, then dragged the mouse to the right while holding Shift until all other voltage points got selected together with the 925 point. Then hit Enter twice and selection gets flattened. I have no idea why most tutorials on youtube recommend to do this negative offset thing but it seems inefficient to me. I left power limit at default too, doesn't seem to be any reason to increase it when voltage never goes above 925mv anyway. Max power draw is ~130W now. GPUZ reports this as a 33 Mhz overclock.
Hi there do you have to keep msi afterburner running to have this settings?
Definitely help with temps. First time doing this on a 3060 ti to 8gb and it work its wonders. Just a question. During idle times where I’m not doing anything, the GPU stays at 1875 MHz. Is this normal? Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! If you want the idle clock to drop, do not hit the “L” key while following the tutorial!
I've seen a lot of 3060 undervolting tutorials but only you tell to put the "Core clock" to -250 before editing the curve. Why? Is there any difference?
Yup! This makes it much quicker and easier to flatten the curve!
@@ImWateringPSUs i see! Thanks
Can i stilll apply this if i watched your overheating guide though?? My 3060 was over heating so its on 1750 mhz from the 825 point on the curve
Yes you can!
doing this causes the fans in my pc to speed up and slow down constantly while in game, is this supposed to happen?
Hi, mine wasn't stable 1800 MHz at 850mV or 825mV. Now I am testing 1830 MHz 875mV and +800 memory clock. Doesn't hit throttle limit. Runs cool at around 55-60c.
900mV at 1900Mhz did throttle on my card.

Question, do I need to have afterburner running all the time or can I undervolt and then close it?
You can close it but when you turn off your PC the settings will reset unfortunately, it’s better to keep it on
Hi sir, once you have did this how can you save the settings? And MSI afterburner need to be in background when turn pc on or after this you can remove the program?
Yes you can save them but you still need afterburner minimized!
hello i used this tutorial for my first undervolt and about the ending section of the video with the 10% overclock, does that still count as undervolting or is it just overclocking and no undervolt?
It’s still undervolting!
Singaporean Gamer here. Today I followed your undervolt guide for my *MSI RTX 3060 VENTUS 3X 12G OC edition* . In Battlefield V, I went from default 120 - 155w, Highest Temp 62c at 1950mhz with User Defined Auto fan control disabled to 88 - 105w, 56c at 1920mhz. A drop in 6 degrees difference.
Also fired up another game on the PCSX2 emulator, PS2 game, *007: Agent Under Fire (2001)* , I went from 50 - 75w, down to 30 - 50w. Didn't pay attention to my temps on the emulator though, sry. I'm going to do more testing to check for stability, I hope it doesn't give me BSOD. I'm not sure what are the benefits of undervolting GPU long term? This is my first time doing this. Very interesting to see such substantial reduction like 50- 60 wattage minus off on intensive Triple A game via undervolting.
I’m really happy it was helpful! Thanks a lot for taking the time to leave some feedback! :) I’ve also got a few build videos on the channel and more coming, if you like the content consider subscribing as it really helps the channel! No worries about long terms issues, it’s not gonna damage the card and you can always just revert back
@@ImWateringPSUs Done. Subscribed a few months back. Your channel gives helpful tips. =D
i have an RTX 3060 OC does this work with that and would it be recommended i have a ryzen 5 5600x as well but when playing warzone my gpu goes to 68c and i sometimes stutter or freeze for a second or two any fix?
