What were the temps when it happened? Maybe you need to add a tad more voltage or keep the card cooler. Failing that dial the core back in 20mhz and try again.

What clock settings and voltage were you using?
Put voltage and core down to 1150 and see how it goes. Keep temps well below 70c.
Just use a custom fan profile for as loud as you can tolerate now just to rule out temps as an issue.
Urgh Trixx!
VDDC is the core voltage. Looks like you have a Ghz edition card. You might not need to add voltage for a while as ghz edition cards have a high stock voltage as it is. Keep power at +20% when overclocking.

nice cheers just tested try 1175/1650 20+power
and a very nice boost with tomb raider fps
card never goes over 60c might help also have a 200m case fan for gpu cooling
Nice plenty of room to go further if you need it as well with that temp.
Aww how cute. It is 2.3.1
The answer was
"That someone else have to use a bit of logic, sorry."
Stick with Trixxx.
Leave the fan at 100% for now. Keep bumping voltage one notch (7 clicks) at a time until it becomes stable. If it doesn't become stable then you're at your limit im afraid.
Your card might be voltage locked im afraid. Gigabyte do lock their cards.
Voltage locked card then mate. See how far you can get without changing volts.
Pretty sure the msi 7950 twin frozr is not voltage locked. Rusty can confirm.
If you can keep the vrm temp at or below 90c then i wouldn't worry too much.
Yes run it at your native res. Pick settings that get you around 30-60fps to represent a realistic load on your gpu. I go for these at 1440p when testing an overclock using unigine.
Once you start overclocking heavily you will often find that recommendation comes down to 80c-70c.
Anybody know why voltage isn't unlocking for my 7870 LE? Works fine in Sapphire Trixx
This version of afterburner should support voltage control with your card.

Change list:
• Added core voltage control for reference design AMD RADEON 7870 XT graphics cards with CHL8225 voltage regulators
• Added core voltage control for cost down reference design AMD RADEON 7770 graphics cards with uP1609 voltage regulators
• Added limited core voltage control for reference design AMD RADEON 7850 graphics cards
• RestoreAfterSuspendedMode configuration file switch is no longer undocumented, now it is enabled by default and accessible via GUI in "General" tab in "Compatibility properties" section
• Added French localization
• Recompiled kernel mode driver to bypass false positive in driver verifier
I'm going to add a basic overclocking guide to the OP shortly Tom. For now though if you look back a few pages i wrote a brief guide for a couple of other lads.
Thanks, I took a look over the thread but couldn't find anything.
Start here and work your way through the thread. You can follow the posts as i help a couple of other chaps. Starts about halfway down that link below.
