Hi,

I've just started messing around with overclocking, and so far I've gotten the 7850 from stock (860/1200) to 1100/1300, so far running stable in Heaven dx11 and Crysis. Voltage is 1,2 stock.

Tried going to 1125 on the core, but crashes in Heaven dx11. How can I get higher stable clocks?

7701 in 3dmark11 at 1100/1300

Typically by raising voltages, and often fan speeds as well. What 7850 brand/model, and what are you using to OC it with?

Using Afterburner to get past the 1050 core limit in amd's standard software, however when I try saving settings in afterburner and apply them to startup, it crashes on startup?

Voltage is 1,21v stock. Tried raising it slightly with Asus Gpu tweak(Afterburner is limited), but crashed. Temperatures only max out at around 65 degrees(Around 75-80 is safe?), so I'm not sure how why I can't go higher.

Also raised power limit to 20%, but I'm not sure what it does. Raise the amount of power the gpu is allowed to draw from the psu?
