    I use MSI Afterburner to increase or decrease the clock of the GPU successfully, eg when it gets too hot I decrease the clock and it is OK. However I know there is an option, a way, to decrease the voltage and only? What happens when I decrease the voltage is the GPU then goes faster, but I do not want it to go faster. Doing similar adjustments on the CPU I can control the voltage and frequency separately, how can I achieve the same in Aftrerburner? This is a GTX 1080 Alienware 17 R5.

    Have you tried the latest version? There is a beta version 12 out as well and they give you much more options.

    Hi, ye I have tried it, this one does not scale on the screen and I need a magnifying glass (almost). It still does not let me modify voltage, but am sure I had read a guide somewhere...
