I undervolt my GPU and it provided some notable improvements to my gaming

Gone are the days of spending countless hours perfecting a specific configuration for my CPU, GPU, RAM, and motherboard to achieve maximum performance from my system. It's hard to believe a decade has passed since I was more into the custom water cooling scene, with overclocking at the forefront of my main rig. I even kept hold of a trusty AMD FX 4100 to see how hard I could push it on a dedicated test bench. Toying around with components was my jam, and I appreciated the delicate balance of power and stability, mixing in undervolting for good measure. Those days are long behind me now, and I don't feel like I'm losing out on anything, as modern components have smarter algorithms that enable them to boost much higher for longer.
