I used afterburner to OC r9 270 with core clock of 1150 MHz(it allows upto 1270 Mhz) and memory clock of 1600 Mhz(It allows upto 1820Mhz). I ran 3DMark 11 and I got a blue screen at GT2 on my 1st try. It is not a BOD. It is a blue screen with stripes. I had to restart. I tried again with the same setting but I again got a blue screen but this time at GT3. So anyone knows about this blue screen with stripes? or Is this blue screen inevitable if you OC beyond official limits?
I haven't tested any games on this settings yet.

Haha yes that is bad OC.
What is your default clocks? I think your OC is very high.

Well i was tuning my OC for about few hours. Default is 950 MHz OC GURU allows upto 1050 Mhz. I was using afterburner so that I could OC it further. Well I found 1100Mhz is the highest it can go.

Try lowering the memory clock and test 1120mhz on the core clock. You should be able to match r9 270x speeds at least.

Anything beyond 1100Mhz and 3DMark crashes. Haven't tried in games though. Currently Running at CC- 1.1GHz and EMC- 6 GHz. This settings gave me a 6fps boost over default in Metro Last Light. Would benchmark other games too and see how much boost I got.

I used their benchmarking tool instead of going in game. As different level has FPS.
Avg with stock was 32fps after OC it went upto 38 fps.
Settings-> DirectX 11,1360X768,Very High,AF 16X,Motion Blur-Normal,SSAA,Tesselation-Very HIgh,Advanced PhysX-Off
