i have mine set at 1.4375v and no problems. taken from the xfx black edition so all is good for me. as allways just watch your temps. either your very lucky or when you stress the card you might find it wont be stable. I messed around with the card loads and i found the most stable was just over 1.4v

As long as temps are fine, I'm not sure what to tell you for voltage wise. But I always aim the lowest possible with stability. So even if your told 1.35v still if you can get lower than go for it, just make sure to put some stress on them and see if they are fine with it.

My card stocks at 1.4V and for benching I tweak it to 1.425V so yes it's safe if they are running cool under load, it's the VRM temps that you should probably be most concerned about, not the GPU temps. Just check the VRM temps in GPU-Z whilst stressing the GPU with OCCT GPU stress tests (or some other intensive proggie) then would you and let us know the temps.

120c vrms can take higher but i wouldnt want to run them for long periods past 100c
keep them under 100c at all times. ;)

and yes my cards are flashed with a custom job that i did.

i also added desktop core and memory higher aswell as blueray core and memory higher.

:)

I am not absolutely sure but I think it would be sensible to keep below 90C, I have seen a couple running in the 90's though.

did you flash the cards or you are using smartdoctor?

Me? Rivatuner Volterra voltage tweak.
