7950 Windforce 3X OCing

Managed to get mine to 1100/1500 at 1.2. Stable in benchmarks but not had a chance to see if it's stable in game yet.
EDIT: Just played an hour of saints row no problem and in the past it always died 10mins in if it wasnt stable so result! Now too work on the cpu clock instead of using OC Genie

Bumped the voltage to 1.25v allows me to run my Sapphire VaporX 7950 at 1200 CPU and 1500 mem for Crysis 3 ok for an hour or so.
Didn't try overclock mine since it has said 900hz on site but mine came
Core Voltage (mV) 1125
Core Clock (MHz) 1000
Memory Clock (MHz) 1250
Launched Skyrim with Hi res mod got me 2300mb usage and fan 99% but problem is on desktop i had some twitching several times with a 1cm height across the screen. Is it faulty?

I've just bought the Gigabyte ATi Radeon HD 7950 Windforce 3x.
Must admit, i'm a bit apprehensive as I've always been a Nvidia man, but having seen some amazing reviews on this card (and the potential to overclock it to a 7970) i've upgraded to this from an EVGA 560Ti Superclocked.
Haven't had much experience in overclocking graphic cards so hopefully, with the help of this post and forums, I'll manage to achieve the full potential of this card.

Recieved my replacement 7950 today and it's all working nicely
ASIC is low (66.9%), someone said gigabyte may be using binned (bad) chips to keep costs down whilst the good ones are being stockpiled for an as-yet unreleased 7950 part.
With the FZ1 bios I've got it running at 1150/1250, but in the sanctuary benchmark the core hits 71C whilst VRM1 hits 92C and VRM2 hits 85C. This is with the fans on auto hitting 57%
I tried the F43 bios but my U2713HM started flickering after it crashed trying 1200/1350 at 1.24V. VRMs had much lower temps though (around 65C each)
Reverted to the FZ1 bios as the flickering issue persisted for whatever reason after the crash in the F43 bios.
