Hello all, 

Bought an MSI Radeon HD 7850 2G/OC Twin Frozr iii last year on a black friday and I never really got around to overclocking it. So Now I've got AfterBurner up on one screen and Kombuster up on another. Now, in Afterburner I set the Core clock to 1000 Mhz (over the 900 Mhz default) but when I run a stress test it only boosts up to 900Mhz (the factory over clock). Here is a screen of all the settings and stats, any ideas anyone?

Edit:

To rule out thermal throttling I manually set the fan to 60% and the max temp went from 60 to 51. And still the same 900Mhz, so I'm pretty sure that isn't it.
