overclocking past AMD overdrive?

So I've overclocked my 6770 from 850/1200 to 960/1310. The RAM won't go any higher, but I'm not getting any errors or artifacting with the core at 960 and can't move the slider in AMD's overdrive any further. I've tried powerstrip but it doesn't modify the clocks when it says it does (yes, with overdrive disabled), and I've tried MSI's afterburner, but it won't go past 960mhz either. Is there something I'm forgetting to do? Or is there some sort of hardware restriction on the clock speeds past 960?
 
Try this
To enable the unofficial overclocking in this version it is necessary to edit the MSIAfterburner.cfg file located in the installation directory of AfterBurner (typically Program Files (x86) MSI Afterburner):


You need to alter the following:

+Seek UnofficialOverclockingEULA field and add following text:
I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
+ Set UnofficialOverclockingMode to 1 to keep PowerPlay active (may not work on old ASICs), 2 to traditionally disable PowerPlay or to 0 to temporary disable unofficial overclocking path
