tips for overclocking 7950 please

[imginy]

I just bought my self a brand new 7950 it's the msi twin frozr model.

I think the clocks are just 800mhz on the one I got and I want to bump it up to around 1100mhz if possible.

So whats the best program to use? and how much voltage should I put in?

I use Trixx if its just for Overclocking then Trixx is fine. But if you want the other feature Afterburner offer use that.

Start by increasing the core, aim about 1000 for for testing use Heaven 3.0. No crash? higher core 1050 if you crash higher voltage +10 till you get to your target speed of 1100.

The Memory you should be ok putting it right to 1575.

For an example my 1100/1500 needs 1.131v yours wont be the same but it gives you idea.
Stock voltage on my card is 1.031v

Dont increase the Voltage passed 1.3v for your 1100 you shouldn't need more than 1.2v

Ok thanks that's very helpful and should save me some time tomorrow.

Whats the safe voltage limit on these cards?

Ok thanks

So let me get this clear max safe voltage for 24/7 overclock is 1.3v?

Whats the max safe voltage for memory?

Thanks

Hey guys,

I finally got my card installed which was a mission because it was to big for my case.

I have voltage control 1.3v max core and 1.7v max memory

For some reason the core clock only goes to 1100mhz any ideas?



edit;
msi afterburner will let me have 1.3v core but only goes 1100mhz max
asus tweek will only let me have 1.1v core and has 1700mhz max

How do I get the high clock of asus and the high voltage of msi afterburner at the same time?

To extend the sliders (more overclocking headroom higher clocks) go to properties in the shortcut for afterburner add /xcl on the command line save/apply come out click on the shortcut it should say the limits have been increased go back into the properties of the shortcut remove the /xcl apply reboot computer voila!
Hope this helps

Thanks mate

That sorted it
