- This MSI Afterburner tutorial shows you how to overclock your PC GPU (Nvidia & AMD) safely to boost performance in all games. This overclocking beginners guide will cover the basics you’ll need to achieve the best GPU overclock. Benchmarks will also be shown to demonstrate the GPU overclocking performance gain you can expect. An overclocking comparison will be made between overclocking your graphics card manually & automatically as well as the benefits. If you want to automatically overclock your GPU, I give you a short MSI Afterburner OC (Overclock Scanner) tutorial. If you’d like a Nvidia performance tuning guide using the Nvidia performance overlay, or a tutorial on how to undervolt your gpu, let me know! Could also make a guide on how to overclock your CPU & RAM safely. Have fun overclocking your Asus, Nvidia, MSI, AMD, Gigabyte, EVGA, ZOTAC, PNY, Sapphire, XFX (etc) GPUs and I hope you enjoy the video!

MSI Afterburner
Exploring and exceeding the limits of your graphics card might sound scary, but it’s actually easier than you think. MSI Afterburner Overclocking tools provide easy and precise access to your GPU settings. While increasing your GPU’s clock frequency and voltage settings, the fan speed control will enable you to find the perfect balance between performance and temperature.
MSI Afterburner sliders
- The Core Voltage slider displays the current master GPU core voltage. Depending on your graphics card mode, the voltage can be represented either explicitly or as an offset added to base voltage.
- The voltage control is locked by default due to safety reasons for example, if you’ve unlocked voltage control in the bios when overclocking your CPU. When GPU settings synchronization mode is enabled in advanced properties, any changes apply to the master GPU are also applied to all similar GPUs installed on your system. Voltage control is only available on limited sets of graphics card models. If Afterburner doesn’t allow you to unlock voltage control or unlock voltage monitoring, this probably means your GPUs voltage cannot be regulated by this function. Do NOT tick force constant voltage.
- The Power Limit slider displays the GPU’s power limit. When GPU synchronization mode is enabled, any changes applied to the master GPU are also mirrored to all similar GPUs installed on the system.
- The Temperature (Temp.) Limit slider is linked to the Power Limit slider.
- The Core Clock (MHz) Slider displays the current master GPU core clock. Depending on your graphics card model, the clock can be represented either explicitly or as an offset added to base clock. Please remember the minimum allowed shader to core clock ratio is limited by hardware.
- The Fan Speed slider allows you to either manually or automatically control the GPUs fan speed.
- If the apply settings at Windows Startup button If enabled, it will apply the current core voltage, power limit, temp limit, core clock, memory clock and fan control settings when Windows starts.
MSI OC Scanner / overclocking scanner test and scan features
1. Move the sliders for Core Voltage, Power Limit and Temp Limit all the way to the right. Click 'settings' and adjust your fan curve as directed in this video.
2. Start the OC Scanner by clicking on the button left of the “Core Clock (MHz)” text as highlighted below to open the Voltage/Frequency Curve window.
3. Scanning is the actual process described above where the algorithm will determine the highest stable frequency on 4 different voltage levels. This process should take around 15 minutes before presenting you with its conclusions. The value of the Core Clock in Afterburner should now show “Curve” instead of a number.
4. After running the Scanner, it's recommended to run the Test option. The Test script will verify the stability of the profile generated by the OC Scanner and provide the results in a ‘confidence level’. Personally I haven't see any other number than 90%.
5. Apply the OC Scanner values by clicking the Apply button in Afterburner. You can save the values in a profile as well, in case you want to switch between default values and your OC profile. You can do this by clicking on the Save Icon on the bottom right of Afterburner. The numbers on the left of the icon will start to flash to indicate that you can choose which number you would like to save this profile under. Once you choose a number by clicking on it, that button will become an active profile. This means you can easily switch back to default values by clicking the reset button, but also load up your OC profile by clicking on the profile number and then Apply.
Congratulations, you have just overclocked your graphics card!

Finally this man completed his home work.
Honestly, you deserve more attention + subscribers. Out of 90% of all tech TH-camrs, you are purely the only one who properly explains everything in such good detail while every other TH-camr goes: Do this, do that and done! (And even then, sometimes when you follow their guides they have no idea themselves of what they're doing).
Thank you for your guides, it has massively improved my gaming performance, especially your Nvidia Control Panel guide.
I'm really happy that the settings helped you out dude! I understand what you mean because when I turn to TH-cam to find something out, it's pretty hard to find a straight answer sometimes. I wish more people who made tutorials could explain what they were doing and why because it really gives people more confidence that the recommendations actually work, especially if you can show what settings do and how they work! Thank you for your kindness and for taking the time to write a comment. Really appreciate it!
Subscribed to this man because he's the only channel on TH-cam that I feel has done proper research before telling us what to do
Thank you dude I appreciate the kind words!
I think no one has realized the subtle renaming of your desktop icons lmao good stuff
Well I sure didn't realize it. It's hilarious tho 🤣
I was NOT planning to overclock my card. Watched the video, and laughed while overclocking my card. Great video, keep it coming!
Thank you so much!! I'm happy the video made you feel confident enough to overclock! :) congrats!!
I also have a 2070 and I can get 200 on the core and 800 on the memory. My power limit can increase by 14%. This gives me an overall boost of about 11% over my stock settings. It's just a basic gigabyte model. I deshrouded it and I have a open design case. I've loved overclocking for years and MSI afterburner is such an awesome tool. Great video👍.
Thanks man! 11% is a huge boost from your stock settings - that's awesome! I guess the rumours aren't true that Auros GPUs are better for overclocking which is what I have :P
can you tell me about your degree ? my 2070 with stock fan (3 of em) basicly instant goes up to 86-87
ive had my omen laptop overclocked for a while and its very good sir because my fans are like an airplane
YOOOO THE VIDEO IS OUT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 5 MONTHS!!!
Thanks for sticking around dude haha ❤️
You crack me up whilst being incredibly informative and helpful, what more could you want?
Thank you dude!! :D
Gtx 1660 from 2019 here and I managed to get 180mhz coreclock and whopping 900mhz memory clock, got about a 4-6 fps increase in pretty much all scenarios. Thanks man especially since my gpu is starting to get less powerful as more demanding games come out
Recently got into PC gaming after being a CONSOLE PEASANT for the past 10 years, your videos have been incredibly educational and fucking hilarious to boot. I watched tons of the “serious” videos from other big tech channels and their information was so much more vague than what you’re presenting in yours. I just wanted to say thank you for actually giving a shit and entertaining while you’re educating, that’s a super tough thing to do and you killed it. Cheers man!
Bruh, you're awesome. My setup has never been so good and my games have never run so smooth. I personally went with the auto clock option to keep it safe. My gpu is a bit nutty too. I managed to get me a 3060 TI and it runs like a dream. I'm currently on 129mhz core and 200mhz memory. it only goes as high as 46 degrees celsius at most too. Thank you so much!
Im glad to hear that dude!!! Im jelly of your 3060 :o I really wanna upgrade but the prices for GPUs are insane rn
@@shogoz They're obnoxious as hell yes.
you prolly dont remember me, but i just realized you're at nearly 19k, i remember you being at 4k
you're growing finally
im glad ive found your channel man cos every other channel talking about overclocking and stuff like that i dont really trust and you manage to explain stuff alot more clearly
so there fore i feel i can trust you way more than all the other channels and also your videos are awesome
I appreciate that dude! :D happy new year!
Dude the moment you started talking about water cooling i got scared AF that something is going to happen to my pc if i watched the rest of the video xD … Love your content buddy & keep up the good work.
Sorry about that haha. I wasn't sure if it was something I needed before I started overclocking so I mentioned it in the vid in case anyone else was thinking it too
Your videos always help when I'm looking to have a laugh, while learning something. My settings are higher, but only because I have a 4090
before 1854: After 2025 before 1711 After 4503. i have a 1050 ti, and im not sure if the before numbers are 100% accurate. But it looks like ive won the lottery, thanks for your help man!
they added some new stuff to the nvidia control panel! GOGOG NEW VID kTHX
Thanks for letting me know dude! :D
You really do make my day. Upload more bro you’re awesome! I love Australia can’t wait to go there
Gtx 1050 ti ---> core clock 200, memory clock 900, temperature around 60C. Rly happy how smooth for example my csgo gameplay has become after OC. Thanks for the detailed and also funny tutorial brother,love your videos! I'm still using your Nvidia control panel settings. Much love from Serbia 🤘🏻
Dude those results are amazing! Good job and thanks for the support :D
Very informative video! Great humor, and professionalism all in one. Thanks for all your effort!!
You can tell this tutorial works. The cat overclocked himself and now he can turn his head in all directions. An increase of 40%. Definitely worthwhile doing this :)
SOo nice to have you back man..... now don't disappear again
Will definitely upload sooner than I did this video haha
Where's the rest of your videos man! We need more of this legendary content. New to pc world and feel like iv found the guy to show me the ropes
I'M SO PROUD YOU.
SO PROUD.
Once Shogoz stop slacking, great things happened. 😭👌🏻
It is Karinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ❤️❤️❤️😍
@@shogoz omnomnomnoms
Thanks so much for all the work and research you put into your guides. Easily the best guides out there, and I’ve seen most im sure. I get tired from taking naps, you put in hours of effort to give us the best info. Preciate ya
Thank you for the awesome comment Kyle! Happy to help and I appreciate you too! :D
cheers for the guides! managed to get my 3060ti +200 core clock and +1275 without problems
Another great video. How you only have 20K subs is beyond me. Great job
Thanks for everything. I basically have GTX 1050, which in 2022 is not that great, and I am thinking about some upgrade. But now you really helped me to enjoy some of my games to their full potential. Games look and run great, even with my crap GPU.
I don't know if I laughed or learned more during this video, in doubt I subscribed
Great video man even 5 months down the line really opened my eyes.
I got the same error message you did and I'm using "Afterburner version 497.09" guess they never sorted it. I'm using your tutorial to stop my pc from crashing as every time I play a game it crashes with my GPU at 50°C so in doing this it should allow to run the graphics I want at a higher temp and stop crashing.
Am right in thinking that yes?
P.S. Your a born entertainer.
The increase in temprature does not prevent crashes if thats what ur asking lmao
My dad is proud of you.... For real though been loving the streams and videos keep up the awesome work lol. Do you have a patron?
Thanks my man it's been good talking to you! Nope I don't have a patreon - if I did I'd be posting feet pics ;) ;) ;) I appreciate the thought dude!
Man you're underrated so much
i just died laughing seeing this mans destop icons hahaha
Lmao just noticed this
Lmfao I just noticed them 🤣🤣🤣
LOL
imagen changing ur desktop icons ewww
You earned my sub man, watched couple of your videos , Youre not boring to watch and you are legit explaining everything.
Hi Alex, I just found your channel but it is already my favorite tech oriented channel. You make great guides and are very clearly not full of shit like the 99% of other channels. You also just sound like a rad dude. Thanks for taking the time to make this!
PMSL on this one, great work.... waiting for my first Afterburner run. Thanks heaps from a land Down Under.
I also come from a land down under and can hear can hear the thunder mmmm Vegemite nomnomnom
This was so easy to understand Thank you very much! 😁
Man I enjoy your video's bigtime !! Keep up the good work, good info and very good sens of humor.
Although these videos are a little bit long-winded, the jokes and meme make this entirely worth it, and I get the plus of insulting my Laptop-using ‘friend’
I shall sub to my fellow Australian
Also, can I request a CPU over locking tutorial?
My GPU isn’t going to strike my soul anymore, but my CPU keeps maxing out whenever I try to increase my framerate
That's a good idea dude, I'll definitely be considering it because I'm pretty sure most people who look up GPU overclocking would also be interested in CPU + Ram overclocking etc! Thanks for the suggestion! Hope you have a good weekend man :D
@@shogoz aye, ditto…
If only school wasn’t impending in the upcoming week :/
Man you're definitely something else. Please keep posting, anything. Keep up the grind.
Wow I've never seen a tutorial that was fun to watch.
Friend: "So... I want to overclock my GPU, but I don't know how to do it."
Me: "I know a guy."
Seriously, this video is the best video that I used/still use and recommend on how to overclock SAFELY, while still maintaining your sanity even with the amount of information that you give us all because of your humor. Also v4.6.2 is the only stable(?) version of MSIAB to do the automatic overclocking. Newer versions presents an error on all the GPUs that I tried to overclock and my friend nearly bricked a 2090 beacuse the thing crashing mid scan (also he skipped on infos on your vid) and then the GPU continued to heat up without the fan catching up to it. Needed to reinstall the old trusted version to put everything back to place (automatically did something not sure what).
10/10 would recommend again.
Thank u so much about us not overclocking us laptops lol I watched that pandjo guy video and he didn’t even say a word about it smh. U got a new subscriber!!!
Thank you Mary! Yeah he wouldn't haha
@@shogoz lmao 😆
AHAHAH I WAS JUST SHOWING MY FRIEND YOUR NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL VID ON HOW AMAZING IT WAS
Thank you so much dude!! 😘 glad you liked it!
@@shogoz PS. He's a laptop peasant XD
Thank you, homie, my CS GO 480p gaming setup just got from 20 up to 500!
Celsius btw
Yes always a result of implementing a highly aggressive fan curve. I'm happy your computer melted :D
Would you mind doing a refresher on this with the new msi afterburner update? Because I keep getting overclock unstable
YESSS you made my day !!! finally you back - please continue this hype stuff ! :D Thanks a lot.
Thanks dude I appreciate that!! More to come in 2025 (jk) 🎅❤️
This is a very nice one today.
Hmm, I putted Core Voltage on +100, Power Limit to 117 (max) and Temp Limit is at 87.
Then I ran Kombustor and I already got 82°C
Also putted the fan curve as you showed 50% at 25°C and 100% at 85°C
I have a Gigabyte RTX 2060
You might have to run the fans all the time, or trigger them to fully run once they reach 30c. Also, once you get your ideal overclock that works, lower the voltage all the way down and see if games still run with your overclock. If it does then your temps will go down and your overclock will still be intact.
The last step is to open up your side panel. That's what I did cause I don't wanna buy better CPU fan. It'll lower the temps considerederably. Test in game with the Riva tuner instead of Kombustor. It's way more accurate.
The real definition of a "TH-camr"
i use a laptop but i still watch this because hes awesome!
my temps are surprisingly fine though ive overclocked with +150 mhz and even 200mhz (200mhz went brrr on some games) and my gpu only reached max 67c and usually only went to 65c my cpu is the only issue my 1660 ti is god when it comes to temps then again my fans are louder then an airplane but
Man it's been a long time since I've watched a techy video and actually laughed through out whilst trying to do what you was doing in the video. I might just watch it again for the shits and giggles. Keep it going man you've earned my subscription 💪 🙌 😂
Cheers mate. I had trouble with the auto OC cause it said the same stupid message "results are unstable" etc. I also got an older version and it worked like it should've worked. Really weird that they kinda broke auto OC with the new MSI Afterburner versions. Anyways. Thanks again.
Anyone else notice the hilarious file names of bro's desktop icons? 😂
If this works this the best video for Mai overclocking
atleast we have a real legit youtuber
BRO YOU WILL NOT BELIVE THIS!!111!!! I WASTER HOURS OF MY LIFE OVERCLOCKING JUST FOR A FEW FPS!!!!111!!!1!!!1
Yep - pretty much how it is haha how much of a gain did you get?
@@shogoz well to be honest I am still testing it with some of my favourite games to see if something bad happens
@@shogoz I will tell you the final result when I am finished
Alright man I hope everything goes smoothly! It's good that you took your time overclocking instead of rushing because if you rushed you'd probably spend even more time tweaking settings in Afterburner if something weird happens in-game :D
@@shogoz hey thanks man. But I have question, if I get problems in my game like with GTA 5(when I go into a cutscene it frozes and crashes) who is the one causing the problem the core clock or the memory clock. I want to know this so I can not waste anymore time tweaking the wrong settings.
this may need to be updated cause oh boy oc scanner really doesnt like rtx 30 series gpus
You deserve a lot more subs mate, cheers
1. Install Afterburner
2. Uninstall Afterburner because you are scared to mess up stuff lol
Thank you for this tutorial shogoz. It was very well done and very well explained :)
Sorry for my bad English
You're welcome! Your English was perfect dude! :D
@@shogoz 😊
Imagine using Karenheit to Celsius converter to overclock your GPU
Well. It shouldn't go over 140°f
I watched your nvcp video and ngl im an esports wannabe loser and (wowbtw) when i followed YOUR advice there were improvements. So now i view “increase performance” titles as “make your pc run at the most self destructive level in order to get maximum (im)possible stats.” Your advice helps my pc run well in general. Like meaning i get satisfaction from my pcs performance as well as not having to deal with bs. ez subz
You doing the best watchable content!👍👍👍
Omg he lives our king
🎅
I'm running a 1080 but how come whenever I try to use the overclocking scanner it will just stop and say "Scan cancelled"?
Edit*: I think I figured out why it kept cancelling. I had to go through my actual monitor settings using the buttons and disable "Freesync". So far it hasn't cancelled and it's at 5% now ^-^
Edit Edit: thing cancelled again...
Dude you or guru explains everything alll the way make so damm easy thanks . my computer is not explode yet .....
Thank you dude! :D glad to hear it hasn't haha
The reason why OC scanner shows up like that is due to them switching to Nvidia’s driver based OC Scanner. As of Afterburner 4.6.3 beta 2, Afterburner uses this and it actually apples at a driver level. Due to this, the results will apply after reboot even if MSI Afterburner isn’t open. To reset to default values, you press the revert button in OC Scanner (the reset button on the main page won’t do it). If you want to use the old OC scanner, use a version before 4.6.3 beta 2 and make sure you pressed revert before switching. Down downside to this is you will need to have afterburner running all the time as it isn’t applied to the driver unlike the new one.
Edit: apparently Guru3D only keeps the current stable release and the current beta release. Due to this, there is no official way to download 4.6.2. If you plan to do so, do so at your own risk.
Man @shogoz pls just make more videos, they helped my computer (like the performance) and I laughed a lot watching your vids
its finally here!
Clicked for the info, stayed for the LuLz
this guy cracked me right up as im new to the pc world and every time he said something worrying, i legit worried till he was like jk, jk.
I put 1917 a Liberty L-8- an aircraft engine with a V-angle of 45 degrees, inside of my gpu and it gave me a performance boost of 6,9% and i've set my fan curve on 4, 2 and 0. So when the heat get ''blazingly'' ''high'', it get's cooled, precisely right.
Would love to see pics of that if you ever want to join the discord server - sounds like an awesome setup!
Nice informative vid mate !!!
Thanks bro I appreciate it!! :D
It comes at the cost of power draw some times.
Waiting for this gpu video 🔥🔥 😂😂 and i gotta say that you nailed it..👍🏻👍🏻
i will say, watching and listening to you is better than those guys out there with tons of view counts. i was wondering what do you think about undervolting?
for someone that usually use the "standard" settings on CPU / GPU, your vid is funny / entertaining and i'm gonna test this stuff......its your fault hehehehe
I personally don't even need to activate the startup button, I just assigned the oc profile to kick in with 3D applications under automatic profile manager in the settings.
So you just turned on your PC for the first time.. wait wrong video
*slurping sounds from video*
I know I'm a little late to the party. I upgraded to MSI Afterburner 4.6.4 (November 21 build I think). I have an MSI RTX 2070 Gaming Z. I did not unlock voltage and left the temp slider at 81 degrees. Didn't touch the defaults and just let the analyzer run. I'm at 1935mhz and 7200 on memory. Temps hold at 76 degrees using Kombustor. With that said, I may try the unlocks and see where it goes. I'm probably going to add another cooling fan at the top of my case. I'm running 1 120mm front, 1 120mm rear, and 1 140mm top right now. I'm also looking to upgrade from an i7 8700 locked with a stock intel fan, to a i9 9900K with a Noctua D-15 Heat Sink. I'm not super serious about overclocking, but a more of a mild tune. I'm trying to extend my systems longevity and boost my VR capabilities.
Just wanted to say great content keep up the Great work 👍
Thank you Liam
I dont even know why shogoz even mentions people like freethy, panjno, trimors… I really recommend adamx hes one of the most credible and great tweakers on this planet
That's because they don't show the results but tell you to do it without showing shit lol
I don't like the trend of people constantly lying about the performance you can expect to achieve while showing no benchmarks. Even looking at Adamx's thumbnails - his 'how to optimize windows for gaming' one has the typical 300+ fps on the thumbnail. In that particular video I can see he modifies system sensitive areas like registry and runs random programs while not explaining what the purpose is. I mean just thinking about it - does Microsoft really want Windows to underperform to the point where you're constantly touching the system registry, run all these user made random programs to actually give Windows more performance? I doubt it. It's more likely you'll break Windows features in the process.
@@shogoz please tell me you’re an engineer of some sort, because the multiple industries in charge of our daily lives definitely need more competent people like you.
Adamx doesnt do those +300 fps anymore although he doesnt show benchmarks and stuff, he still have really good tweaks but i inow he cares more about money though but u really recommend people to learn how to make a bootable usb to install a custom os like ggOS
Waiting fr a long time for yr video shogoz 😍
Yo thx, this tutorial was actually overpowered, I tried doing the panjno one before btw and LMAO IT DOES SUCK!! Also should I undervolt my GPU after overclocking? And how? and also undervolt my cpu, how do you do that, and is it possible to overclock ur cpu and/or overclock then undervolt?
Also sorry if ur alrdy making this or plan on doing this, I just want it, another thing, I use adobe softwares for editing and stuff, if u have it and can figure it out, can u tell me how I can remove all the stupid excess stuff that isnt needed, because that makes my process count go to 200+ (I used ChrisTitusTech's Perfect windows install video to lower it to less than 130 OOBE with improvements, and then less than 180 with stuff downloaded and a bunch of processes running)
my man showing a lego video card claiming its old(like his one-2070) and im here trying to run anything with 60 fps on my 1050 ;D
Thanks for the tutorial man, my card was ASUS Phoenix GTX 1650, Single fan and no 6/8 pin power, i was able to push mine w/ +230 MHZ on core clock and +950 MHZ on mem clock, my temps are around 63c-67c-ish tho sometimes i hit 70s on APEX Legends tho on benchmark instead using the (GL)msi-01 i use the (GL)msi-02 (PhysX4 GPU - HARD) coz i hit 2075 MHZ GPU Clock stable on it and heck i hit like 2100 MHZ in APEX Legends when playing.
Underrated asf
the legend is back
GTX 1650
Core clock: 150 mhz.
Memory Clock: 600 mhz.
runs pretty fine.
some things suck thats true. we get 4 liters to your one for gas. its not all bad but units of 10 sound great lmao
You gained yourself a sub my guy
Ok why do people hate on laptops, I have a pretty beefy laptop with gtx 1660ti and it still after 2 years of owning it, still holds its own like a champ, and it's over clocked and still gets good temps, so I'm really not complaining
Imagine owning a laptop
@@shogoz I don't have to imagine, do you have a problem with me being happy with a gaming laptop, does your little redditer brain explode because you can't comprehend someone enjoying something you don't
God damn it!! OC scanner is giving me the same message. I've tried different versions of MSI Afterburner and made sure all my drivers are up to date, but always the same result. I have the GTX 1090 ti if that makes any difference. Maybe I should just give up and get a laptop and a console.
Where did you download the older versions?
can you tell me actual fps differences in games?Great video ,keep up the good work lov y!
This man is legendary
Me in malaysia where 80°c gpu temp is consider normal
True
This is hilarious but also damn informative. Thanks dude!
