I used MSI Afterburner (a popular PC utility for getting diagnostic readings off GPUs, as well as overclocking) and found temps at idle to be around 45C and hitting 75C after 2 - 3 minutes of a benchmark. So I used Afterburner to set a custom fan curve, which is loud, but keeps the card cool and stable. But it seems like this shouldn't be. Msi afterburner alternative suggestions? Posted by 2 years ago. Msi afterburner alternative suggestions? A driver got updated and I afterburner.
TL:DR - RX 580 - changed from graphics to compute mode already. Adjusted settings in afterburner, can't get it to mine faster than 19-20 mh/s. I set up my first rig a few weeks ago with 1 card to get things going - a RX 5700. All is good, and I've been using MSI Afterburner. Im sure if I figure out how to pass the software limitation of MSI afterburner, the GPU can handle higher than the 135 increase for the core clock. My final stable overclock was 1035/1729, up from the original of 900/1254. I've never seen any issue related to MSI afterburner regarding CPU overclocking unless the monitoring software could be causing issues with other monitoring software or mobo sensors. About an alternative, EVGA Precision X is a solid one for both monitoring and overclocking but at the end you can use whatever software from the GPU manufacturer.
As featured in:
To show the graphics card operating status more accurately, Afterburner provides a complete monitoring function: all important information including the GPU core clock, memory clock, temperature, voltage, and fan speed have a real-time on-screen-display monitor in games and real-time information in Windows Tray Icon. All the adjustments can be saved as 5 profiles, users can quickly switch to different settings with hotkeys.
The new version of Afterburner not only supports the latest NVIDIA GeForce 500 and AMD Radeon HD 6000 series of graphics cards, but also adds the Predator in-game video capture function. Gamers can now capture all of their most intense moments in their favorite games and share them with the world on sites like YouTube.

What's New:
Added download link for new beta 4.6.3:
- Added NVIDIA Ampere GPU architecture support:
- Added new fan control 3.0 API support
- Added new integrated OC Scanner API support, please read below to get more information about new OC Scanner implementation
- Updated bundled MSI Overclocking Scanner application:
- Starting from 455.xx drivers family, NVIDIA OS Scanner is no longer implemented as a separate software component redistributed with each AIC partner's overclocking software. Now NVIDIA OC Scanner is integrated into the driver and third party software can natively access it via NVAPI. Such implementation simplifies the process of OC Scanner maintenance for NVIDIA, it is no longer necessary to ship updated software components to AIC partners and re-release each partners's software when something needs to be changed inside OC Scanner from NVIDIA side. MSI Overclocking Scanner supports both implementations of NVIDIA OC Scanner API:
- Old legacy implementation of NVIDIA OC Scanner via separate software components for NVIDIA Pascal and Turing architectures for pre-455.xx drivers family
- New integrated NVAPI based implementation of NVIDIA OC Scanner for 455.xx and newer NVIDIA display drivers
- New NVAPI based OC scanner implementation features the following changes and improvements:
- Automated overlocking support for both core and memory clocks
- OC Scanners's results are now persistent. It means that once the scanning process succeeds, NVIDIA driver internally saves optimized voltage/frequency curve and overclocked memory clock and apply them as new system defaults after reboot, even if you close or uninstall overclocking application. Now there is new 'Revert' button inside MSI Overclocking Scanner, which allows you to revert overclocked curve and memory clocks to their real defaults
- Manually adjusted clock/frequency curve stability testing functionality is deprecated and no longer available
- Added voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30x0 series graphic cards
- Added new MSI Ampere and Indigo skins by Drerex design
- Added experimental support for Intel 10th generation CPUs
- Added native NVAPI based implementation of absolute GPU power monitoring for NVIDIA GPUs
- Altered synchronization mutex name for AMD SNM registers access in AMD Ryzen temperature monitoring implementation
- Fixed abnormally high PCIE bus usage value monitored on NVIDIA GPUs after display driver crash and recovery or on Optimus
- platforms when discrete GPU is sleeping
- Added workaround for AMD driver bug causing short display flicker during applying new fan settings on some multi-monitor or
- single monitor high refresh rate display configurations
- Now MSI Afterburner is forcibly disabling Zero RPM when applying new fixed fan speed in order to bypass AMD driver bug
- preventing fan control from working when Zero RPM mode is enabled on some systems. If Zero RPM is working properly on your
- system and you still want to keep it enabled when adjusting fan speed, you may disable forcible Zero RPM override with power
- oriented switch in application configuration file
- ow MSI Afterburner is displaying the minimum allowed fan speed in software fan curve editor window on Overdrive 8 capable
- AMD GPUs. The latest AMD drivers will not allow you to set fan speed below this limit, that's by design of driver
- AMD ADL components are loaded by absolute path now to prevent possible DLL hijacking
- Tightened IO driver access policy, the driver can no longer be accessed by users with no administrative rights
- RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v7.3.0. This version introduces plugins architecture and brand new visual overlay editor plugin, we strongly recommend you to try it if you're advanced user and want to customize your OSD beyond the possibilities of MSI Afterburner's internal OSD layout editor
Releas notes for MSI Afterburner 4.6.2:
- Added voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20x0 SUPER series graphic cards
- Added voltage control for AMD RADEON RX 5700 series graphics cards
- Added new MSI Steampunked, MSI Lightning Anniversary and MSI Mystic skins by Drerex design
- Improved hardware monitoring module:
- Added CPU temperature monitoring support for AMD Ryzen 3X00 processors family
- Added thermal offset for CPU temperature monitoring on AMD Ryzen Threadripper 29X0 processors family
- Added package CPU power and per-core CPU power monitoring for AMD Ryzen processors family
- Improved monitoring plugins architecture
- Added API function for reading host application's hardware monitoring timestamp from the plugins. The timestamp is updated by host on each hardware polling iteration, so it allows the plugin to precache and reuse some sensor data if the same physical sensor value is being used in multiple data sources exported by plugin. Such approach is demonstrated in updated CPU.dll plugin for duplicating the same temperature sensor value for all cores on AMD CPU
- Added optional plugin unititialization callback function, which is called by the host before unloading the plugins. New multithreaded Ping.dll plugin is demonstrating new function usage to shut down ping monitoring thread properly
- Improved monitoring plugins:
- Updated CPU.dll plugin is demonstating AMD Ryzen CPU temperature monitoring implementation and optimal duplication of the same temperature sensor readback for all CPU cores
- Added new Ping.dll plugin for monitoring ping to desired server via ICMP echo requests. Please take a note that the plugin is configured to monitor ping to www.guru3d.com by default, it is up to you to specify target server name or IP address in the plugin properties
- Improved skin engine:
- Optimized skin rendering performance for skins using multiple overlapped animated indicators
- Added position smoothing support to skinned indicators
- Now skinned applications can forcibly disable indicator animation if necessary
- Skin format reference guide has been updated to v1.8 to document these changes
- RivaTuner Statistics Server has been upgraded to v7.2.3

Here is a list of some best solutions for live streaming and video capturing or recording purposes which can be taken as the alternative for open source Open broadcaster software (OBS) streaming software.
The popularity of live streaming gameplay videos as well as various other kinds of live streams like Vlogs, Making-of-videos etc. are increasing day by day. In turn of the accessibility of the internet is reaching to everyone, this Live-streaming thing is becoming much popular as also proving itself to be a viable career choice. There are tons of successful live streamers available on YouTube, Twitch.tv, DLive who are making great money with this career. With the increasing popularity of live streams, the need for the type of applications which can handle these tasks also got increased.
OBS or the Open Broadcaster Software was the first one of this kind to fulfil the needs of the users live streaming purposes. The OBS was able to record input from the screen (whatever is displaying on the monitor) itself, the input from the webcam, input from a microphone, even can be set to record input from a specific application's window. For record capturing, live streaming, OBS was a very good solution and it is still a very good one though there are many alternatives available in the market now a day.
OBS has a problem which is, the output files provided by OBS is very large in size which makes it slower while live streaming, also needs a lot more HDD space than most of the users can spare. The other problem is OBS has a very little amount of customization options which makes OBS a little old-fashioned when it comes to comparing with the latest counterparts.

If you are an amateur user and looking for a screen recording application as alternative to recording feature of Open broadcaster software just for fun (most used app for Gameplay video recording around the world), or just to keep records of your awesome gaming moments which you can share, then Fraps is the thing for you. There are many users with very minimal needs with screen recording apps, they just need a dependable and easy to use screen recorder app for fun or very lightweight job, Fraps is a good option them. Unlike Streamlabs, OBS or another in this list, Fraps is the simplest of all.
- This application is a very old piece of software in the market.
- Only available for Windows.
- The screen recording app is free, but if you want the Benchmarking Interface, then you have to pay $37 for that.
- The videos can be captured in any framerate ranging from 1 to 120 fps. Custom FPS settings is available.
- Being a very old software, it has a very big user and community base.
- But this application is not receiving any updates since 2014, so if there any kind of issues arise you are not going get any solution probably. But, also without customer support, this application is going this long, which makes anyone believe in its good and hence make the application more reliable.
- You can also take screenshots within the games using Fraps and you do not need to save them as they would be saved automatically.

But the others are for mainly Live streaming purposes but also can be used for screen recording. Now the choice of software depends on your need solely.
If you are looking for more option for live streaming applications then let me tell you beside OBS and Streamlabs OBS (SLOB), the XSplit, vMix, Wirecast, Lightstream and another application called VIDBlaster are the only mainstream-dependable options available. So, you have to choose one of them for sure, as you have nowhere else to go as of 2019.
