I sort of know it does.
But how exactly does it work?
I can have good guesses. Perhaps modifying bios will improve how "tight" timing on memory is.
Overclocking GPU don't seem to work at all because actual GPU clock is always lower according to afterburner. This is for ethash. Setting GPU frequency in afterburner is more like setting GPU maximum frequency.
Not sure what undervolting does.
based on this question don't flash any bios, simply
understand that a gpu has stock core and stock memory

Boost Clock 1254 MHz --------------------------------------
core =12541 x DL-DVI-D 2 x HDMI 2 x DisplayPort
2048 Stream Processors
PCI
Memory
Effective Memory Clock
6700 MHz ------------------ divide by 4 = 1675
Memory Size
4GB
Memory Interface
256-Bit
Memory Type
GDDR5
so stock = 1254 and 1675
leave at stock
and set undervolt to -50 saves power
fans to 50%
this should run and give standard hash rate for eth about 21
leave undervolt at -50%
set core to 1200
memory to 1750 see if it runs.
fans at 50%
this should boost hash a bit..
I read your posts and you are:
a bull in a china shop
a lead foot
a more power guy
and you burn your gear up
be mellow relaxed undervolt a bit and do standard clocks,,
once you get a feel for it
you can try pushing the gear.
I have been doing mining for 5 years plus
I almost never burn gear out. lets say 7 of 1000 pieces of gear
My thought is cryptomining is here to stay I dont need to rush and burn up gear
