I have a msi r7850 twin frozr iii I was wondering what was safe overclock on the card without changing the voltage I will be using MSI afterburner what should I set memory and core clocks to? Also what fax speed and what does the power slider do in the afterburner app
 
1.25mv is the maximum safe voltage for that card for 24/7 use, I personally wouldn't run more than 1.2mv.
What do we need?
One of the best tools for overclocking NVIDIA and ATI videocards is our own AfterBurner which will work with 90% of the graphics cards out there. We can really recommend it, download here. http://downloads.guru3d.com/MSI-Afterburner-2.2.0-Beta-14-download-2859.html

Where should we go?
Overclocking: By increasing the frequency of the videocard's memory and GPU, we can make the videocard increase its calculation clock cycles per second. It sounds hard, but it really can be done in less than a few minutes. I always tend to recommend to novice users and beginners, to not increase the frequency any higher than 5% on the core and memory clock. Example: If your card runs at 600 MHz then I suggest that you don't increase the frequency any higher than 30 to 50 MHz.

More advanced users push the frequency often way higher. Usually when your 3D graphics start to show artifacts such as white dots ("snow"), you should back down 10-15 MHz and leave it at that. Usually when you are overclocking too hard, it'll start to show artifacts, empty polygons or it will even freeze. Carefully find that limit and then back down at least 20 MHz from the moment you notice an artifact. Look carefully and observe well. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_radeon_hd_7850_power_edition_oc_review,21.html
