Hi peeps, for those of you out there who own a r9 380, can please you share your overclock? My nitro 380 4gb only overclocks to 1030Mhz core/ 1650 Mhz Memory and after doing a little bit of research online, I see that many are able to reach close 1100Mhz on the core making my overclock seem relatively low. Is it just me?

It's not only you I can't get up to 1100Mhz I have it at 1050Mhz, memory is 1650Mhz.

Have you bumped up the voltages?

If you don't you're highly unlikely to get that high of an oc.

There is no voltage control.

I did max power limit but there isn't voltage control so can't do much about that...

I see - are you using Aferburner? Voltage control is usually in the advanced options. Not directly available.

I think the r9 380 bios has locked voltage control.

I am using afterburner. However, even though "unlock voltage control" is checked, MSI still doesn't allow me to adjust my voltage.

Depends on the vendor.

They were able to change voltage

OK so maybe Sapphire has locked voltage control on their cards.

Idk if this still applies to OP but this is the first google search result so I'll revive this for anyone who comes here looking for info, I was googling then remember that my card (the Sapphire Nitro R9 380) has a dual bios switch, voltage control would be locked in the normal bios, you need to switch the bios to unlock it. 
edit: Please note that it seems my BIOS was custom flashed to unlock voltage control, so it might not be a job that everyone will do but it you're overclocking it probably is

Yours faithfully
