It's unlikely the core thats limiting. It's probably the VRMs and other board components. Put a fan to blow cool air over the card see if its helps, if it does, then its the other non-core components.

Ding! Check the VRM temps. I'm guessing those little aluminum heatsinks are barely keeping them below throttle. You might have to throw a (bigger) fan on them or get some copper ones.
 
Have a fan blowing directly over the VRM's. I'm 99.9% sure its OVP. When i load up heaven GPU usage goes to 99% then drops to 0 then up and down. I need some biod editing or something.

Well, you managed to get it past 7950 speeds... it may just be tapped out for additional power. I bet if you add anymore power to it you will smoke those VRMs and it wouldn't matter if you had the biggest heatsinks in the world on them, it would be too much current for the card to handle.
 
DonKarnage - just got my Asus DirectCU II 7850.


How do i enable the overvoltage trick?

Using 12.4 - assuming i should not do that?

Done.

Sort of new to OC'ing gpu.


I keep getting "driver crashes amd" - when trying for 1200 mhz.
wether on stock volts (1.21 for this card) or with 1.25 as an example.


Any tips? 😀
Temps seem stay under 60 with furmark, with a custom fan profile.
(Loving the raven 03).

What card do you have? Do you have the "TOP"?
