Good settings for 6870 @ stock voltage

[Volklskier25]

Right now I have my XFX 6870 single fan running at 950/1150, with an aggressive fan speed profile... about 92% fan speed at 77 degrees, making it hover at around 69-71 degrees Celsius at full load in furmark. Can I push the card anymore at stock voltage, or would I have to do a voltage bump?
Thanks

Personally I would stop overclocking. I like my GPUs to run at 70c and lower. Many say they can get up to 80-85 and be fine however I personally like to keep things nice and chilly to keep my build lasting longer.

Another, sort of related thing, why does my overclock reset every-time I reboot? I'm using sapphire TRIXX, and the overclock stays as long as the computer stays on. Is this normal or is something wrong?

No idea about TriXX, I tried it, and hated the interface compared to Afterburner.

On stock voltages (1.18) I am sitting at 950 core clock, and 1150 memory clock. I can push the memory clock more, but I have yet to experience anything better by doing so. I can get the core clock to 1K, but it needs a little more voltage.

At my settings above, I am sitting at around 70c, if I'm gaming for 3-4 hours, I have seen my GPU touch high 70's. I have the MSI twin frozr, which has the two large fans, and I have a 80cfm 120mm fan blowing from the side right over my card.
