Overclocking Fundamentals

Ergo's Autolykos2 algorithm is memory-intensive, meaning memory clock speeds have the greatest impact on hashrate. Focus on maximizing memory bandwidth while reducing power consumption through core clock undervolting.

Memory First

Prioritize memory overclocking for maximum hashrate gains

Undervolt Core

Reduce core clocks to lower power and heat

Efficiency Focus

Optimize for MH/s per watt, not raw performance

Safety Guidelines

Temperature Monitoring

Keep GPU temps below 83°C, VRAM below 95°C

Gradual Changes

Increase overclocks in small 50MHz increments

Stress Testing

Test stability for 24+ hours before deploying

Power Supply

Ensure adequate PSU capacity with 20% headroom

Monitor & Adjust

Continuously monitor temps and adjust fan curves as needed

Performance Optimization Tips

Efficiency Focus

Target 0.6-0.8 MH/s per watt
Prioritize memory bandwidth over core speed
Maintain GPU temps below 80°C

Common Mistakes

Pushing memory too hard causing errors
Ignoring VRAM temperature limits
Not testing stability long enough
