1.55v no issues 1.60v no issues but under -40c or so red screen any colder then that cbb, really sucks in dx9 benches since its in 2d or low power 3d alot more then the newer dx10 or dx11 benches so its harder to get heat.
For 3d11 i keep it warmish(-10 /-20c) till it gets passed gt1 then you can bring the pot down without the 2d-lp3d cycling more easy.
After the msi contest going on there will be mods and more info out for this card i am sure
you on ln2 or dice?
besides redscreen how was it reacting for you when cold? are you using a heat gun on vrm/core area?

It could have been the voltage + cold. I have had it colder without redscreen, first time I froze pulled it down to -60 pretty fast without extra voltage & got a couple benches in before it bugged after 10 minutes or so.
This was on ln2 & I didn't use any heat. The main cold issue was the driver freaking out when it changes p states colder than -45 or so, it gets to desktop fine when colder but as soon as the voltage drops to 2d, nightmare...,

I haven't frozen the 7970 lightning yet, my reference 7970 did pretty well (3d11 p14360), trying to catch up to that score with the 680L now. It didn't like full pot, but was happy with -120° at least. My other 680L did a fair bit better on air/water, hoping it does better cold as well.
