    Your Memory clock is a bit drastic to start off at. Lots of people when they get close to 900 will fail.

    Start off in smaller increases. start at 525 on the clock at 850 on the memory

    And move up slowly from there

    every GPU is an individual. Some can handle more extreem clocking while other can not. Depends upon the lots of factors... Quality of that batch of silicon... etc..
