    thanks! i know that its different for every card but what would be a safe setting for having the voltage set at 1005? right now i can get 750 with 1100 for gaming when using the amd gpu overclock tool.

    1.05V is no problem. 1.1V will work as well, but it gets warmer. 1.15 is only for hardcore benching imo, except you live in a fridge.

    right now i got my clocks to be 820 and 1100 with 1.05V. do you think that i should use this for everyday gaming(only for more demanding games though)? the temps seem to get around high 70's.

    If it passes error checking, I don't see why that would be a problem.
