I wanted to make sure it was reliable and would run consistently with no issues out of the box, and with a slight OC. My next steps are definitely pushing the card's limits in terms of OCing and undervolting. Was looking into BIOS mods/memory straps but that seems a bit involved for my tastes at this point.

I am running Claymore v9.7 beta, pool version

Recommend you look into bios modding as they can change memory timings to improve performance, messing with OC software is very limited.

If you can find someone with the exact same card as you and same memory, bios modding takes all the guess work out.

There seems to be a huge community on overclock.net where people have already done all the hard work, so I will keep on reading and find something I can use. Need to backup all my cards' BIOS first xD

A little bit slow or not?
Try set on afterburner core 1240, mem 2155...i get 700mh per card (but 8G)...just try it.
What is your version of claymore?
