It won't, I told you with your ambients you will reach a silicon limit a lot sooner possibly before you've even beaten your ref card clocks :p (if you get a bad one).

Memory will fly though

On the plus side you'll probably get better gaming clocks if you're sensible enough :p

1. No black screen issues.
2. I dont think silicone was maxed, im pushing my VRMs hard at 1.63v lol so that might be it.
3. Yea ill be able to get higher 24/7 clocks.
 
I was bored and got into illustrating my Valley 1.0- & GRID2-Results with my R9 290X @ +200mV - Temps were permanently <70°C [158° F], VRM1/VRM2 max. 90° C/69° C.
Used Photoshop CC - I hope it helps someone :)
In the GRID 2 graphic, I also added information about the power draw. It is interesting that +15% FPS has to be paid with +82% avg. power draw. Besided, VRAM-OC @ Hawaii seems to be almost useless - even with SSAA & Downsampling combined.
