MSI 7770 safe oc?

[mike2012]

Hey, Mike 2012 here. I just picked up an HD 7770 the other day, but I'm a little dissapointed in the performance. So I want to OC it a little, but not too far.

I basically want to know, how far can I OC the card without messing with voltages and that stuff?

If it helps, on the stock cooler without OCing the card stays around 60c-70c in most games. Idle temperatures are at 39c.

Also, would raising the power limit help?

+60
+50

is the safest I'll go anything higher is ok but making it +90 is a risk and can fail on you.

Every card is different. As long as the temperatures are under 80C you are fine, nothing is dangerous for it, just keep bumping up the clocks until you reach instability, then back off a bit.
