I will be showing you how you can now overclock your graphics cards even higher than before with MSI Afterburner, especially when it comes to memory overclocks while mining, to enable you to mine faster!
MSI Afterburner With Setting for mining
What is overclocking?
Overclocking is increasing default memory and core clocks of the GPU so that they run at higher speeds than they were designed to run by the manufacturer. When overclocking, you could increase the power limit and/or voltage, but keep in mind that this will increase power consumption. This can be relatively safe to experiment with, but note that extreme clocks and temperatures might damage your hardware faster than they normally would. With efficient overclocking, you can achieve higher mining profits and lower power usage!
What is underclocking?
Underclocking is the opposite of overclocking. When underclocking, you decrease memory and core clocks. Also, when underclocking, you can decrease the power limit and/or voltage which will result in lower power consumption.
Overclocking or underclocking for mining?
Both. You should find the sweet spot between power usage (lowering power limit) and hashrate(memory and core clocks).
While you increase clocks, your GPU will need more power to be able to run at higher clocks. If you have free electricity, you could increase the power limit which will allow even higher clocks, but keep in mind that higher power usage = higher temperatures.
The word overclocking (OC) is usually used for either overclocking, underclocking or both.
