Are you by any chance using a pendrive? I recently switched to an SSD to see if I could fix a different issue and I seem to be able to OC the memories now. Sounds weird but hey, if it works it ain’t stupid.
So far at 1600 memclock, will let it run for a long while before I try upping it. Apart from this the only thing I changed was improving ever-so-slightly the airflow on the backplates of the cards, but that did little to no difference on the core temps (which were more than fine already) so I doubt it did anything for the mems. It doesn’t seem to be temp related anyway.
Found a guy on youtube that does physical mods on the cards and he was able to get much higher clocks by undervolting the mems. It seems the Hynix just can’t handle Nvidia’s voltage specs if OCed, but they can if undervolted. Sadly we can’t do that without physically modding the card.
Anyway, if you’re using a pen-drive, try an SSD.
PS: also make sure you use the option to delay the OC for X seconds, which should be your miner start delay + your average DAG creation. Nvidia cards can’t handle DAG creation with OC as well for some reason, AMD cards can do it just fine and in half the time (6sec for a 5700, 12-14sec for the 3060Ti).
