If you exhibit a crash, allow the system to cool for at least 15 minutes, then start again at step one with 15MHz less, but you can skip Time Spy since it has already been tested.

Once you are Time Spy stable, run the BMI benchmark at the highest resolution your monitor supports, on a loop for 30 minutes.

Again, you must wait until the card is cool before making changes to the curve, or they will not apply correctly. Once you do, I recommend removing 30MHz from that point of first instability, to ensure it is stable in various scenarios other than Time Spy.

Conversely, if you are stable at +105 and want to try to achieve more performance, you can allow the system to cool for at least 15 minutes, then return to step 1, but with 15MHz MORE, +120 instead of +105, and so on, until you encounter instability.

Do this until you are Time Spy stable, +105, +90, +75, +60, etc. Allow the system to cool for at least 15 minutes, then start again at step 1, but with 15MHz less, in this case, +90 instead of +105.

If you encounter a crash, error, or if Time Spy gives a score of 0, the curve is unstable.

The default boost curve changes with temperature so being cold is important.

On a cold system (idle at least 10 minutes), open MSI afterburner and reset to stock profile.

You should be able to get it under 35C, the closer to ambient the better. You can accomplish this more quickly by running the GPU fan at 100% when you are waiting for it to come down in temp. So +150 on a hot curve may give the same result as only +105 on a cold curve, so we want to be as consistent as possible when making changes to the curve by having the card cold each time. The curve you set is not based on the actual frequency you set, but rather the OFFSET. Afterburner will maintain your curve once you set it, but whenever you try to revise it, it will be based on the reading of the CURRENT boost table the card reports, based on temperature. *Changes to the curve should be done when COLD, and frequency adjustments should be made in 15MHz increments, as that is the amount between boost tables.

Prerequisites: Install MSI Afterburner, 3DMark Time Spy, and BMI Benchmark. Here is the guide I have created, thanks to everyone who gave feedback and helped get this tested and revised.

Creating a custom voltage curve should both reduce power usage and possibly increase performance (if it reduces Temps enough to get you into higher boost bins).
