Hi Guys,
Today i overclocked my HIS HD7870 ICEQ and it went very well i got 10 fps boost.
Stock (1000,1200)
OC (1150,1400)
I just wanna ask that i set power limit to (+20) and Core Voltage to (1300) is this safe? and if it is can i overclock it more like (1200,1450)?
Temperature stays under 65c with these fan curve settings:

Thanks in advance! :)

I try not to go pat 1.2 (1200) on voltage for GPUs. I know some people that won't even go that high and other than set theirs even higher. but 1.2-1.25 is, to my knowledge, the most common accepted setting for GPU overclocking.

Is it safe at 1.3? Technically nothing is "safe" once you start tweaking voltages. So long as your card remains adequately cooled you should be ok at 1.3
