Does that card's bios allow you to monitor the VRM temp? I bet the BSOD happens because by the time the core is 72, the VRMs (or possibly the memory) are hotter than holy hell. I had an XSPC Razor block when I had my single 7970. I overclocked it significantly with a 1.3 vcore. Under heavy load (mining or furmark), the core would max at about 45-50, but the VRMs would get to 100+. The passive acetal VRM cooling on that block was not sufficient for the ridiculous voltage, and it would cause some lockups when mining or running furmark (but would be fine with reasonable temps while gaming).

That's a good point. I need to look into it and see.
I honestly bought the card to fix and flip just like I do everything else but since I got it stable I will just keep it and sell this 660 I bought last week and move my 7870 into my HTPC.
