Download MSI Afterburner. Turn up the power limit to +20%.

Bump up the core clock to about 1100Mhz, test for stability, bump the core 25Mhz, test for stability, etc... Repeat until temps get over 80ºC or you're happy with performance.

For memory, you must be careful, because monitoring VRM temps is less convenient, and Afterburner doesn't. Download HWInfo64 and it'll give you access to VRM temps. Bump the memory to around 1500Mhz as a start, bump 25Mhz, test, repeat... Make sure to watch temps so they don't get into the danger zone.

I settled on 1150Mhz/1600Mhz at 1.15V as my 24/7 OC. I can run those clocks on stock voltage in all games but Crysis 2, so I settled on 1.15V to keep Crysis 2 happy, and avoid any shutdowns. Temps stay below 70ºC with an ambient of 23ºC.

Lightning, why you no OC more?!

My ASIC is about 75% and I have very similar results. It takes crazy voltage to get any higher, and then the temps skyrocket.

I've never used CCC before. I open Afterburner when I'm gaming so I can OC, and shut the program down when I'm not gaming and it defaults to stock clocks.

Turn the power limit to +20% (as seen in the screenshots of the other poster above me) and then start overclocking. It's pretty simple to get a decent overclock, but overclocking for absolute maximum performance can be time consuming. If you go into Afterburner and set it to 1100Mhz/1500Mhz with the power limit turned up (stock voltage), you'll get a substantial performance boost with very little effort. To overclock more, you may need to start adjusting voltage, that's where it starts to get more difficult. I taught myself to overclock by just reading on here (OCN) and trying it myself.

Warfare, is that with tesselation lowered or AMD optimized. I can't get over 10k unless i lower or disable tesselation and my CPU should be faster and GPU is clocked higher.

Best I did was 9640 with my 2600k at 4.8 24/7 clocks and my GPU at 1250-1675 1.262mv 24/7. RAM was at 1866 8-9-9-24-2T.
