Hello! I got a max-q 4060 automatically undervolted+oc’ed by acer’s Nitrosense profile.

My card has a fixed power limit of 85watts and gets overclocked by 100+ mhz on the core clock and 200mhz on the memory when enabling the turbo profile. As I guessed this to be some kind of undervolt+oc, i tried to add 150 mhz more to the clock, the power limit was indeed still locked to 85watts(so the card wasn’t drawing more than 85w), but the core did overclock by 250mhz total.

I tried doing the same thing with the 70watts profile, where the card get’s oc’ced by the same amount of turbo mode, but when i tried adding 150mhz to the clock, the game i was using to test my OC (Alan Wake II) crashed after 30 seconds. Temps still seemed to be the same as with the default profile, and power wattage was fixed to 70.

Now, my question is, would the crash at 70w be caused by me making the default uv+oc (applied by Nitrosense) unstable? Can I use the turbo mode’s profile wattage limit to try and find a stable oc until i get instability?

I’m sorry for the weird formatting, my english is a bit bad and i didn’t know how to ask this question otherwise lol.
