Optimizing Voltage Curves and Peak Performance on Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

Marathon stress runs show multi-core rendering pushing VRM temps dangerously close to thermal tripwires, with HWinfo64 recording spikes between 92C and 98C. Basic airflow mods barely help until manually dropping voltage offsets by 0.050V in the advanced voltage setting and capping the power limit around 85% - 90%. Benchmark telemetry from 3DMark confirms the 1% lows flatten out beautifully, with temps chilling back into the 75C - 81C range. Is undervolting really the magic bullet for unlocking hidden headroom? It sure is, even if the top-end peak score takes a slight hit. I spent days chasing thermal ghosts before realizing the voltage was just blatantly incorrect. The resulting frame delivery feels much smoother, but be warned: different silicone qualities mean this offset might cause a random reboot during extreme loads.
