About

Learn about ThunderMaster – a powerful tool from Palit that helps maximize the potential of your graphics card. This application gives users control over various parameters of the graphics card, including core frequency, voltage, fan speed, and more.

ThunderMaster not only allows fine-tuning of your Palit graphics card but also provides information about its current status and performance. With this tool, you can achieve optimal results in mining and other computationally intensive tasks that require high performance from your graphics card.

Monitoring

Provides users with information about the current status and performance of their graphics card, including temperature, CPU load, and other important indicators, allowing them to monitor the device in real-time.

Control

Provides users with the ability to adjust and monitor various graphics card parameters such as core frequency, voltage, fan speed, and others to optimize its performance.

Profiling

Offers the ability to create and save different settings profiles for the graphics card, allowing users to quickly switch between settings depending on specific needs, such as different mining tasks or gaming.

Settings ThunderMaster

Load on Startup: ThunderMaster will automatically appear on the taskbar upon Windows startup.
Enable Tooltips: Tooltips will be activated, displaying when the mouse cursor hovers over the icons.
Enable G-panel: Display GPU information on the G-panel, an LCD display device manufactured by Palit.

Quit with Restore Default: All settings will revert to default upon closing ThunderMaster.
Disable Temperature Warning: Cease the pop-up alert. ThunderMaster checks the GPU temperature every 30 seconds. An alert will only appear if the GPU exceeds 75°C with zero RPM, or if the temperature surpasses 85°C.

Over clocker

Each GPU has its unique overclocking capability. We recommend users to adjust clock values gradually.
If manual overclocking is unfamiliar, you can utilize the “OC Scan” button.
ThunderMaster detects the optimal overclocking settings based on your specific GPU.
- Note: Processing time varies depending on system environment and GPU overclocking capability.
Frame Rate Target: Restrict frame rate to a specific FPS.
Power Target: Set a power limit. Default setting is 100%.
GPU Temp Target: Define a safe GPU temperature. ThunderMaster will automatically adjust board power to maintain temperature within target if exceeded.
Linked OFF – ON: Sync “Power Target” and “GPU Temp Target.”
Prioritize OFF – ON: If enabled, ThunderMaster prioritizes “GPU Temp Target” over “Power Target.”

Fan duty

Auto (Default Fan Curve): Fan speed is automatically adjusted.
Fixed Fan Speed: Set fan speed to a constant value.
User Defined Fan Curve: Customize fan control curves.
Triple-fan mode: Left panel controls two fans as a set, while the right panel controls the other fan.
Fan Stop ON/OFF:
- Fan Stop ON (Blue Bar): Fan stops spinning when meeting fan stop conditions.
- Fan Stop OFF (White Bar): Fan always spins, and speed depends on your curve setting.
