Just bought one of these so gonna need this guide, how are the Msi Twin Frozr OC versions clocking, anyone got one?
Basically it's good, I got mine up to 1200/5800 @1.185v and it's stable in BF3 and Crysis 2 for hours. Temperature below 70

How to overclock a 7850 past 1050MHz?

and it has been there for the past 2 days too
Might've been my old one. Good luck if it is.
It seems that I am currently the only person in the world who is able to benchmark an air cooled 7800 @ 1400MHz and run 1350MHz rock stable
.
It must be a case of ying and yang. Several years ago I obtained the worlds worst overclocking GTX480, plus I have owned plenty of other duffers in the past too. I suppose it is only fair that things balance out.
Come on guys, someone else post some >1400MHz suicide shots.
P7807 @ 1400 / 1500
edit: and for fun, here is how my old stock GTX580 performed vs the 7850. Also, here's a 930MHz core overclocked GTX 580 compare.

What voltage are you running it at? And which model is it?
It is a Powercolor referernce card (the cheapest 7850 I could find). I changed for stock cooler for an Accelero Twin Turbo II (~£30), and flashed the BIOS to an ASUS DCUII TOP to unlock 1.3v. Check this post for piccy's (results there were listed before BIOS flashing).
Card is currently running at 1325MHz / 1450Mhz @ 1.275v for 24/7 clocks, but it can run 1350 / 1500 @ 1.3v stable. 1400MHz @ 1.3v is totally unstable, but I can just about run benchmarks with it.
My problem is lack of voltage because heat is not an issue. The card games in mid-late 40's @ 1325MHz. The highest I have seen it whilst gaming was 53deg after an hour of BF3 @ 1350MHz. The Accelero is a great cooler.

Jeez sounds like it is a fantastic cooler. Mine runs pretty cool compared to a lot of other posters but it's still in the mid 50s with only 1.165v going through it! My core seems to overclock very well but my memory is another story, anything above 1375Mhz and it's as unstable as a mental patient being forced to (edit.) listen to Cheryl Cole's new 'song'.

Haha just ran 3DMark and it really does show just how gash my CPU is (Athlon X4 640). Scores weren't too bad for the graphics test compared to yours but then physics test kicks in and my CPU just about had a heart attack
Ahh well maybe some day I'll be able to afford an i5 2500k when it's about 5 years out of date

Seems that you are
, the majority going by this thread are at 1200/5800 with non reference cards. I wonder if anyone else with a VTX can get as high as 1350.I know this is off topic but since I am in this thread how do you reply to a PM? From what it says I have to have messenger installed and then use internet explorer, surely that's nonsense and I can reply some other way or am I just being totally stupid (quite possible!)

I reckon I could get some 1300+ runs no fuss, but it'd mean flashing the bios, and I don't know if I can be bothered to give up Diablo 3 time to do it

Yeah it must be hard to give up some hack and slash time

How do I get Asus Tweak 2.0.8.3?
Downloaded the latest version, but it says I can't unlock the voltage and clocks because I don't have an Asus card.

Yep, but then the sliders for clock and voltage had a little padlock next to them and I couldn't change them. Hovering over the padlock said 'only available for Asus cards' or something to that effect.
