OC Help on 6650 XT

I have an ASRock Challenger D 6650 XT that I've been overclocking/undervolting. I needed help to see if I'm doing this correctly.

Currently I have the clock speed set at minimum freq to 2950MHz, max freq to 3050MHz, voltage to 1040mV and memory to 2400MHz.

I'm running a custom fan curve. Fan push to 90% during benchmarks. Benching temps max out at 65C GPU and 92C junc. It usually stay around 55ish GPU during gaming. The card pulls 165w while benching and a little over 110w while gaming.

I've ran Time Spy demo multiple times as well as played several games and haven't had any driver crash or any issues.

Is this considered stable or am I missing something? Also are the temp ok? As far as gaming goes, I have lower temps with the OC than when settings were stock.

Finally if temps are good, should I push more voltage for higher clocks or leave as is?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I know that 6650XT overclocks better, but damn 2950 MHz min and 3050 MHz max with undervolt. I find it very hard to believe that it is stable. Are you sure your GPU actually runs these clocks? Also regarding memory, don't just max out memory OC with AMD 6000, it does have some sort of memory auto correction when it's unstable. So your performance would go down but it wouldn't crash. So you have to test performance and confirm that you are getting better performance.

Temps are perfectly fine. Regarding more voltage for higher clocks, I don't think you can push higher clocks. Pretty sure AMD limited core at like 3000 MHz for 6650XT.

With that aside I find it very weird for this to be stable, considering that my 6750XT doesn't like at all if I touch voltage curve. Run some heavy power draw games, such Hunt Showdown, Warfame, etc. Warframe is free to play on Steam by the way.

I appreciate your feedback. I'm skeptical about the clock speed to voltage.

As far as data, I'm using GPU-Z. It shows clocks maxing at 3019 but being mostly at 2960ish during benching. Memory stays at around 2388.

I didn't know that max mem wasn't the best. Any suggestions on how I can tune the memory to benefit the best?

I'll try Warframe to test further. Being playing Warzone which probably isn't the most taxing.

If you OC the core past a certain point the UV stops doing anything. You basically have to check the voltage and core clock when you are gaming.

I really appreciate this! I just checked and yup the UV isn't doing anything. I'm getting those clocks with 1.18v which seems way more plausible.

I tried to set a UV and set a low clock but it crashed. Any suggestions on where to start?

I appreciate everyone's help!

After playing around with it, I set my clocks to min freq 2650 and max freq 2750. I set the voltage to 1040 and set the memory clock to 2400.

While benching/gaming, I get 2698 clock speed at 0.933v (pulling 90w on load) and 2388 memory clock.

I tried testing the memory clock but seems like I get the best scores at the 2400 max freq.

Any other suggestions or is this pretty much what OC/UV is?
