So I’m new to overclocking, right now I’m only overclocking the GPU since my CPU performance isn’t pushing past 50% for most games. I’ve seen people talk about OC pushing temp ranges into the 80s or 90C range, but my system temps don’t go past the low 60C range even with Cyberpunk running everything on highest or psycho (for ray tracing), excluding DLAA, and I’m sitting between 80-110fps after multiple hours of gameplay. So I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing that could boost my performance even more or if it’s simply a matter of efficient airflow and performance. This is my first self-built PC so I’m not familiar with the ins-and-outs of optimizing systems. Any info would be helpful and educational.
