I got mine up to 1050 with memory clocked at 630 voltage at 1190 using Trixx. Worked great!

I just use the AMD GPU Clock tool.  I simply plugged the card in, turned on my computer, and set it to 1040/355MHz and that was that.  No need to mess with voltage. 325 MH/s. 

FWIW, AMD tool automatically adjusts the voltage to 1.163 (IIRC).

I have a pair of the newegg sapphire 5830 xtreme cards. I have mine running at 970 core and 300 mem, without trixx. I use ClockTweak.exe from the forum.

If anyone is wondering why no program seems to work with the sapphire xtreme cards,
it's because they have a custom, shortened PCB and voltage regulators.

Only their own proprietary Trixx tool works for that

I just picked up one of the sapphire 5830s they had on newegg. Overclocked the gpu to 900 mhz but I want to go higher. I tried msi afterburner but even with the setting checked the voltage is still locked and it wont allow me to go higher then 900. If anybody can help me overclock this card it has to be some of you guys.
