OK wait wait wait ALL... LOL
I own 2 HD7950s and you barely have to add voltage.
What exact model do you have? A link would be best.
Download and install the latest MSI afterburner, temp monitor and a stressing program(unique heaven really works great for me).

OK so start by unlocking your voltages. You will need to edit a file.
Follow the below instructions after you have installed MSI afterburner
Locate the folder where MSI Afterburner installed to, open it, and locate the CFG file named MSIAfterburner. When you 1st dbl click this file it will ask you what program you want to use to open it, choose "Notepad" and click "ok" Once you have the MSIAfterburner CFG file open in notepad you need to change a couple of settings near the bottom:
UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1 (to keep PowerPlay active (may not work on old ASICs), 2 to traditionally disable PowerPlay or to 0 to temporary disable unofficial overclocking path)<--Do not type this, just for reference I have mine set to = 1
After you have made these changes, DO NOT forget to click "file" and "save" before exiting notepad, or your changes will not take into effect!
Now its time to OC, first of run a bench of Heaven and see what score you get and what the max temps you reach.
Get back here and post when you are done.
DO NOT MAX OUT VOLTAGE! See what clocks you reach on the card BEFORE you raise voltage.
