    Hey NBR.

    I'd like to ask you about undervolting.

    Is undervolting the GPU safe?!

    The default voltage for my card is 0.95v, If I undervolt it to 0.90v using this mods:

    What's the possible risks, well I've tried flashing the BIOS before so no worries about flashing, I'm talking about risks involving the chip itself.

    Or it's better to keep the stock voltage?!

    the only risk is that the stock clocks in high performance mode will become unstable, which at that point you would either have to lower the clocks or increase the voltage, but you wont know until you try it.
