Hi,
Currently running +100 core (1290) and +300 mem (1853) with +6mV.

I'd like to hit 1600 boost if possible and I'd like to know your opinions on what should be a safe max +mV for the card (considering that heat shouldn't be an issue).

Cheers.

    The ssc is already at 1.215 volts out of the box iirc. I think pushing it any more past that is not a great idea. Personally the risk of going past what this card is set at completely outweighs the reward of maybe 2-3 extra fps. Also I am not sure even if the gpu could handle the extra voltage if the power delivery can take the extra voltage and heat.

    Managed 1320 core (+130) and 1927 mem without those +6mV. Ran furmark bench and firestrike.
    Boost between 1527 and 1563 in fire strike.
    Trying to increase power limit to 105% (was trying to get more boost) crashes 3d mark, so maybe I hit the limit.

    Precision X/MSI Afterburner adjustments are safe. Anything they allow is perfectly fine.

    I had to set the voltage to 1312.5V to reach 1620Mhz and 1.2750V for 1557Mhz.

    Well, this is the best I managed so far. There's a +12mV hidden by gpuz.

    And the score obtained with them. 
    I haven't actually tried games yet, only fire strike, but I'm guessing the fan profiles are too aggresive to ignore in a session of gaming.

    I'm new to OC-ing GPUs so I thought your settings were a good place to start. I have only tested with Cinebench (opengl GPU test not CPU test) and I was able to get +135 on GPU and +357 on MEM with NO overvoltage. Moving up either slider even one more notch will cause the benchmark to crash. I could probably get a little more out of this card but I'm scared to DEATH to apply ANY overvoltage at all. How risky is a +12mv over voltage anyway?
