I run 3dmark11 and heaven mostly. If I want to really test it then I throw a bunch of other stuff at it. Just look for artifacts and bsod basically.

801 is definitions
802 is word/critical thinking problems. probably some sim but im not sure. it will be the same format as 801 though, computer based multiple choice.

That's what I wasn't sure of, I didn't know if they had a traditional practical where you physical perform certain actions.

I think it was 925 "stock" .. but I think it was running at the "boost clock" whatever that means

Does the boost have to be activated or is it an automatic oc? I have a ghz edition which is automatic.

If you have a 7950, You shouldn't have much problems running at 1100/1500 at stock voltages

Alright, running 1050/1400

I'm not going to tempt fate, seems to be running amazing. Woot! My first overclock, yay!

Now to overclock my Processor somehow..

That's generally a good idea to do even with mild overclocks. Keeps things stable and doesn't add much heat, if any. Not sure if it's a big problem now, but back in the day with 5000-6000 series, there were cards that were slightly unstable even at stock unless you moved the power slider to 20%.
