Hi guys.

I have just bought an XFX Core Edition 7870 and i'm new to over clocking.

I am using MSI Afterburner and to begin with the clock was at 1000 and the memory at 1200.

I am primarily using the card to mine bitcoins, and i've got these setting so far:

With these settings i'm getting around 415 - 420 mhp/s and at stock clock settings only around 360 mhp/s

I'm basically looking for advice of what you think for the "noobish" attempt at overclocking and if this will be safe to run, pretty much 24/7 or should i reset to stock every now and then? (say reset it to stock speeds overnight?) Would it be safe to try and push it more? How would i test if the clock is stable? without damaging the card? What happens if i DO go too far?

Currently in an open sided case.

Appreciate your help in advance, from the noobish overclocker.
