Fixing OC instability on Manli Snow Fox RTX 5080 in God of War?
Right in the middle of a heavy combat combo, the screen would freeze and then just crash to desktop. It was incredibly stressful. On the OC profile, the core voltage was swinging between 1.02-1.08V, causing a few compute units to throw checksum errors. I tried dropping the clocks to stock, which stopped the crashes but cost me 7% performance—a compromise I hated. I eventually locked the core voltage at 1.06V and manually loosened the memory timings, keeping the GPU at 68-74°C. Even then, it crashed once or twice until I disabled the CPU's PBO auto-boost, which finally stabilized the whole system. GPU memory now sits at 72-78°C with fans at 2000 RPM. After 5 consecutive 3DMark stress loops, it passed with zero errors, and frame times are now a smooth 8.2-9.1ms.
