Yes,

Obviously with the fans ramped up to 100% though to keep temps down.

Even so that is some overclock that is faster than water cooling titans. I remember what 100% fan speed sounds like. My 7970 wouldn't go over 1225 at 100% reference fan speed. I stuck an accelero air cooler on there and it would reach 1340. I wonder what it would have done on water.
 
My max stable (No Arts) overclock is 1155/1450 on stock volts.

Temps after Heaven

Is this good or bad?
 
Bench something other than Heaven. 290's suck on heaven. Firestrike standard or Extreme or 3dmark plox. Or better yet, actual games. :)

Hopefully we'll find out just as soon as the block are in stock;)
 
Mine's giving up at 1100/1400, a single push on either mem or core and it gives me artefacts. Can't alter the voltage yet as I'm not on the ASUS BIOS.
