Overclocking

Overclocking works basically the same as on previous NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards.

With Blackwell, NVIDIA has removed the "Hot Spot" sensor, you still have access to "GPU Temperature" and "Memory Temperature." While there was always some drama around Hot Spot, it was useful to diagnose a misaligned cooler or waterblock.

Another Blackwell change is that NVIDIA is now blocking memory OC if it's higher than +375 MHz (+3000 MT/s). Setting any higher value will result in a maximum frequency of +375 getting applied, no matter how high the requested value.
