I am very new to this and would like to start tinkering with my card a bit more.

7900 XTX with a 7800X3D. The weather here is fairly cool nowadays and I figured to get a few good 3D Mark runs in.

Is there a routine like, warming up the card with lower clocks first for a couple rounds and gradually increasing or just go YOLO on boot up?

I know chasing these scores will inevitably stress/heat the components but I want to avoid damage that I can avoid with common knowledge in the community (which I admittedly don’t have).

Thanks y’all!
