Hi! I was wondering if undervolting and overclocking my Radeon Pro 555 would be safe for my 2017 iMac. I asked Apple support and they recommended to contact this forum . I have already undervolted and I’ve seen a significant performance increase. I’m just making sure this won’t burn out my hardware. Also is it possible to overclock on bootcamp?

Undervolting does not burn anything. It's just lowering the voltage given to the GPU, which means lower temperature. You will need to test out your lowest undervolt before crashing. It is also possible to overclock if you have the thermal headroom. I would suggest that you first undervolt, then overclock based on that undervolt. Follow Mat's guide on unlocking Radeon software GPU voltage tuning. |

Here's the link to his most recent installation/setup guide: Once you unlock radeon software tuning, you can proceed to play around with the voltage values and find a suitable and STABLE undervolt for your graphics card. If you need help with finding a suitable undervolt, here's another guide for that: www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/hk6eqt/a_gpu_undervolting_and_overclocking_guide_for_amd/Even though it says its for mobile laptops, because your graphics card is based on the Polaris architecture (500 series graphics cards) it will work the same. |
