did my card have reache the very rock bottom?

[xMishax]

good evening everyone was trying to squeeze some juice out of my r9 380 using MSI afterburner but run into a trouble. It runs 980/1425 stock. I OC'ed it to 1080/1425 with +20mV and +50% power limit (I have mod that changes 20% to 50%) and it ran perfectly stable for like 2-3 hours in valley with temperatures never going above 63C. However when I try to hit anything above 1080ghz valley crashes right after like 20-30 minutes. No matter how much voltage I add, it doesnt help. There seems to be no noticeable difference between 30mV and 100mV. Also temps are fine and usually stay in low-mid 60. I already upgraded MoBo and GPU bios to recent versions in case it was due to them being to old, but that didnt help either. I also disabled power efficiency toggle in crimson software. Still no use. So is it the rock bottom for my card? thats all I can squeeze out of it? or is there any other problem I might be not aware of? 

PS. I also tried clean installation of drivers, but with no luck

seems around the limit from a quick search for that card

Where dis you read that? I saw that it can reach 1080 without any voltage tweaking and I thought it will go a lil bit higher if I add some more power. Was I mistaken?

google r9 380 overclock only a few who won silicon lottery can push past 1080mhz

 

sorry

sorry

but at gamers nexus they dont even touch voltages.  I thought it supposed to go higher when using voltage slider or not?

they may have and forgot to add it, but yes more voltage can help get a higher or more stable overclock but stay within manufacturers specs too much voltage could damage the card irrevocably

I know about that, but thank you the problem is that even with higher voltages and nice low temperatures It wont go any higher on clocks..

yup probably hit the limit, still though you got a decent overclock you beat gamers nexus on the core

What is the PSU? A crap PSU can severely limit OCs

Anyhow, you lost the lottery. Most 380s get to 1150-1200

PSU is seasonic s12II 520W bronze. I thought it was pretty well rated and sufficient for my needs as my cpu is 4460 so no overclocking or anything.
Thats why I am concerned. It can go 1060 without any voltages, 1080 with +20mV and then voltage seems to have no effect at all. Could it be that voltage leak is so strong that it just cant hold the clocks past 1080?
