Tbh as long as you look up the safe voltage and temperature limits for your specific hardware and stay under that it's pretty much impossible to fuck your hardware up.

JoeBurrow 07/23/22 11:36:29 PM #22:	So my old GPU settings in MSI Afterburner were basically just an undervolt with a slight boost in clock speed to make it barely better than pure stock settings, just slightly cooler. Went ahead and upped the power limit on the card and increased both core clock and memory speed. Gonna run some in-game benchmarks soon, probably tomorrow, and see what the performance difference is between what I have now and the pure stock settings. <cite>JoeBurrow posted [p:966793530] in You ever f...
