Best way to undervolt? Seems MSI Afterburner doesn't allow it

as already mentioned you have to hit ctrf+F for the freq/volt curve or depending on the skin in use there is a little signal button to the left of one of the sliders you can press. I'm currently running a quick and dirty undervolt of 975mv/2000core with +500 to memory on an MSI Ventus 2x OC RTX 3070. Can't say I'm overly impressed with the card, the RTX 3070 not the Ventus, but as long as frame pacing is stellar, which it is, then I won't complain too much. Not gonna keep it longer than 12 months anyway by the looks of things.

Jury is still out.I didnt expect it to run so hot and noisy. The 3060ti FE I had was really quiet and cool even when overclocked.

After getting a 15mm fan for the bottom of my 240mm AIO to get the 3070 to fit in there I tried benchmarks and was quite happy with my score about 10% over the 3060ti. Played Zombie Army 4 for couple of hours and thought my god the room is hot. Checked the temp and it was 76c and noticed the fans really loud when I took my headset off. People have been reporting the backplate is very hot to touch like too hot.

So then I thought have I got a card with poor cooling but then after reading realised the 3070's and up do run hot, not quite GTX 480 type hot but hot. So this annoyed me as I like to have my GPU under 70c preferably around 60-65c. Realised the card was doing 150-200fps which is also probably why. So I have gsync on and turned on vsync in Nvidia Control panel so it would match my monitor hz for FPS (75) and it ran cooler around 70-72c with the fans being quieter. I tried a custom fan curve but couldnt get it right.

So I found an easy undervolting guide for Afterburner and tried it with 850mv as suggested and Time Spy failed, tried it with 875mv same result. Tried it with 0900mv @ 1950mhz and it stabilised. Added 1000 on the memory too. Ran Timespy and it actually ran faster than stock settings so quite pleased. Also it was over 1000 points more than my 2080ti. Cooling wise its dropped about 10c so seeing 60-66c temps with fans okay. On stock it was showing about 240-250w or thereabouts now with undervolting its 190w-200w. Speedwise getting 1950-1980mhz so quite happy.

The 30 series seem like good heaters, weirdly enough my 3080 heats my room up better in Valhalla than it does Cyberpunk though.

Anyone else got sag....

Had to fix it..With the side glass on and the lights it blends in well enough and does the job fine...

So how are people finding their 3070's? I'm personally a bit disappointed as the card I have cost the same as what I paid for my 1080ti back in the day but the 3070 doesn't feel like flagship performance.

MSI 3070 Suprim X here. Beast of a card, supplied with it's own support bracket to prevent stress on the PCIe slot. I haven't seen it go above 66C yet despite hours of 1440p gaming. It's also quieter than the liquid cooled Vega 64 that it replaced.

Despite paying a bit over the odds for it I am absolutely made up with it.

Is the Suprim X the new lightning? Cause I remember having a GTX 780 lightning and my god that card was solid.
