Basically I realised the thing that was holding back my GPU overclock was actually my CPU overlock. Dialled my i3 back down from 4GHz to a slightly more reasonable 3.66 and now I can run my 5830 GPU at 1000/1310 where the previous max stable OC was 925/1250 (stock is 840/1125).
This has taken my hashrate from 280khash with 250WU up to 317khash with 290-300WU but I'm now getting 1 HW error every couple of days. Is this anything to particularly worry about? Temps are 75 core, 78 ram and 76 on the VRM with the fanspeed at 2900RPM.
Hope it's not going to burst into flames like my other 5830, although that one never had a single hardware error.
