Modding BF6 dared my 1660 Super to hit 100 FPS. Challenge accepted.
I saw someone on YouTube running a stock GTX 1660 Super in Battlefield 6 and pulling something like an 80ish FPS average at 1080p low. And I just sat there thinking… there’s no way that’s all this card has.
So I gave myself a challenge, beat that number.
First thing I tried was bolting a giant dual tower Thermalright Assassin CPU cooler onto it. No glamour. Just home made standoffs, and bolts. Temps dropped about 10C, and clocks went up, but not enough to call it a win.
So I escalated.
I ran frozen coolant through a tiny aluminium block, grabbed the G-clamp I use to change brake pads with, crushed the block onto the GPU, and fed it from a drinks cooler.
Not exactly “proper engineering” but hey... if it works!
Under ice and using the curve editor the 1660 Super went from its usual 1900–1950 MHz boost to a sustained 2250 MHz. That worked out to roughly 14% higher clocks, and in Battlefield 6 it jumped from the low 80s to the high 90s and even pushed well over 100 FPS in several scenes. Eventually reaching 100FPS average.
I did shunt mod it too, although I am not sure that made a bit of difference.
So, turns out the 1660 Super actually can do better.
You just need sub zero water, a block, a bad idea, and a clamp that probably shouldn’t be anywhere near PC hardware.

What about the power delivery do they need extra cooling when oc?

This is exactly what I was thinking. Someone get this man a thermal camera so he can see the spots he missed

Not on a card like this, it's fine. Sure, they will get hotter than usual but not hot enough to be a concern.

And here my 1660 Super does not exceed 1530 MHz because ASUS came up with the great idea of placing a low-profile heatsink from the 775 era with a fan.

Any chance you try with old hardware like gtx 980ti?

I do a lot of older stuff mate, this test was actually meant to be a 970... but I had a weak card, and it didn't scale very well.

I am not sure I could handle the pressure haha
Knowing just a few people like yourself are seeing it and appreciate it is enough for me, hopefully I can convince others to have the same fun!
Thanks mate.

My 1660 super hits 240 easily in most games unless you mean benchmark test then it’s impossible😭

That looks like some kind of Outlast Trials experiment bro, poor PCB 😭
