That's quite low for that clock. Appears you have a good clocker there. Fully stable? What have you got the memory at? +100mv is safe on air and +200mv is safe for water.

It seems to pass most things such as in game benchmarks etc, only tried a little bit of 3Dmark so far.
RAM is at 1500Mhz (6000)

1200/1400-1500 is a good sweet spot.

I don't know if anyone has noticed this but when running valley or heaven benchmark and using afterburner to monitor fps and temps and so forth,I'm getting throttling but the temps of my cards are at round 65c.
This only seems to happen if I add voltage in afterburner on the core.why does it do this as I thought throttling was only caused by high temps but by the looks of this it's voltage that is doing it.

Reduced the safe overclock from 1200 core to 1180 as I have seen a few little artefacts during 3Dmark last night.
Caporegime
Adding more core voltage removes artifacts on Hawaii, so unless you were at the +100mv limit, id add more.

Was at +69

Just a quickie, will a HX850W run 2 X 290X OC?
Running CF7970GHZ without a problem atm with [email protected] but really dont fancy changing out my PSU

If its any AIB card you'll be fine. Put it up to +75v or +81v until the artifacts vanish.

I will maybe try later on in a day or so, currently investigating this story of 14.3 drivers throttling.
And to be honest Im just not seeing it.
Examples at 1180/1500,
Thief,
14.3 :- 50.2, 73.3, 93.1
13.12 : - 52.9, 72.4, 94.5
Tomb Raider,
14.3 :- 58, 74.4, 92
13.12 :- 58, 74.7, 90
3DMark Firestrike,
14.3 :- 11041
13.12 :- 11147
Think I'd rather be running 14.3 and get the benefits of Mantle in Thief+BF4.

I'm going to do my own testing and submit my results to Warsam soon. I'm wondering if its just a afterburner issue as you're using trixxx right? I also wonder if there is something else at play here. Like a certain cards video bios or something. Reason being, a few people are saying it does not affect them yet others are saying it does. Need to try and get to the bottom of it.

Currently using Afterburner as I was trying to get framerates in BF4.
