MSI R9 270 Gaming overclocking help

[MrCow]

I have been overclocking my graphics card - as specified in the title - and it is currently stable at 1100 mhz core 1500mhz memory. whenever i bump the core past 1100mhz, even by 1 my computer bluescreens. I have a 600w corsair builder series psu and the temps are ok, never go over 77C on full load.

Thanks

Ok from what I can tell is your psu is fine to run it. Have you tried overvolting the gpu?? That will help unlock overclock head room.

I have tried but havent succeeded. I have tried changing the .cfg file but it never worked D: Any ideas as to how i can unlock it?

What program are you using to overclock it??

 

[MrCow]

MSI Afterburner

Ok that's what I thought. I really like that one. But you should try doing a simple overclock inside of amd's catalyst. It might be more stable that way.

Ok ill try that

I cant find where to adjust clock speeds in catalyst, do you know?

in catalyst click on "Preferences" and under that it will say "Advanced View" click on that. now there should be a new tab called "Performance" click on that and then there should be another button called "AMD OverDrive". and it should be right in there.

Sorry i didnt reply sooner - it still bluescreens when i go past 1100mhz even in catalyst.
