Got my windforce 670 upto (from memory, not exact figures):
1300 core
6610 memory
(heaven stable with the fan turned up)
I think there is more to be had but not much. I've had a few "driver hangs" a bit over that on both core and memory.
24/7 i'm currently running:
1250 core
6400 memory
(default fan profile, it never gets hot!)
Pretty pleased tbh.
can you copy and paste my information from the OP, I need everything (except heaven scores if you can't be bothered), not just clocks ta!
My results will be slightly different as I'm running an SLi setup.
Make & Model: Gigabyte WindForce 3X (2 cards)
Best Boost clock GPU 1: 1254MHz
Best Boock Clock GPU 2: 1289MHz
Memory: 7658MHz
Temp GPU 1: 67c
Temp GPU 2: 64C
Noise: Pretty quiet!
Heaven Score: N/A
I used MSI Afterburner and went max on Core Voltage and Power Limit.
I increased Core and Memory speed in increments of 25MHz. Any artifacting at all and I went back down 25MHz. No fine tuning beyond that.
Ran Heaven in a loop at maximum settings at 2560x1440 and maximum NCP settings aside from AA to be selected via program and V-Sync set to adaptive.
Haven't run a benchmark test on it but can do if anyone want specific results.

Mine at stock:
Make & Model: Palit Jetstream
Best Boost clock: 1150.2
Temp: 75c
Noise: 54 % fan Audible at full load but it isn't a bad noise if that makes sense
FPS 72.4
Score 1824
Min FPS 27.8
Max FPS 167.4
Does this look right for stock? All seems a bit low to me?

What CPU do you have, looks a bit to low for me and too hot.
Yup, but they could both be related, temp dropping the boost in turn dropping the heaven score.
I would say 79c is far too hot for a card with a custom cooler on it, the Guru3D review of the card has it peaking at 72c under load.

How is the card staying at 54c ive got a 680 and it reaches 70c on the heaven benchmark.
Are they under water or special editions ?

I am an idiot. Just disabled adaptive v-sync. Scores now out of the box with the above heaven settings:
FPS 72.4
Score 1824
Min FPS 27.8
Max FPS 167.4
Temp according to gpu z never passes 75c and fan 54%

Could you run Heaven and post please,thanks in advance

Make & Model: KFA2 670GTX (reference)
Best Boost clock: 1197 (so far)
Temp: 67-70
Noise: Loudest, fan on 80% for benchmarking
I think i've reached the limits of this card due to the cooling. Anything higher and the card reaches 70 degrees and starts throttling itself so i'm hoping that water will improve things slightly.

Nice score on the 670 Setter
Make & Model: 2 Asus Direct CU II (non Top)
Best Boost clock: Card 1 - 1304Mhz | Card 2 - 1264Mhz (on or around that)
Temp: Card 1 - 79 degrees | Card 2 - 72 degrees
Noise: At idle they are silent (I had to injure myself on the fan(s) to see if it was actually working
Heaven Score: N/A as I don't run 1080p
Heaven Avg. FPS: 47.1 @ 3600x1920
Very pleased with the cards overall. I got them as I needed more grunt for Surround gaming. I am now pushing nearly 60fps in BF3 @ 3600x1920 Ultra settings with 2xAA (with the cards stock boost of 1124/1085) - This is up from around 38fps on a single GTX680. I am memory limited to the point that I can't run 4xAA but there is barely any visual difference anyway.
No doubt if I was to test each card individually I might be able to push them a bit harder but in SLI the heat builds up quicker.
I do need to unlink the clocks to see if the second card can be teased to the same boost clock as the first card.
