Alright so i just installed the MSI Afterburner update and now its saying that my voltage is unlocked (previously it was locked). So my Core Clock on my reference 290x is set to 1120MHz. How much so i increase the voltage to maintain a higher overclock? My 290x is using a Kraken G10 and an H90 with some VRM heatsinks so heat isnt too much of an issue. Whats a safe voltage? 

 

The highest voltage increase i can do is +100

CPU AMD FX 8350 @5GHz. Motherboard Asus Crosshair V Formula Z. RAM 8GB G.Skill Sniper. GPU Reference Sapphire Radeon R9 290X. Case Fractal Design Define XL R2. Storage Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD and 120GB Kingston HyperX 3K. PSU XFX 850BEFX Pro 850W 80+ Gold. Cooler XSPC RayStorm

Every chip is different. Experiment to see what is stable. 

You can drag the voltage slider all the way to the end in Msi Afterburner if you'd like.
