I bought my Sapphire Tri-x R9 Fury and placed it under a waterblock to achieve a solid overclock. By pushing it to its highest voltage and power settings (+97mv and 150% power limit), I reached 1140mhz on the core and 550 on the memory. It stayed stable for several months before the drivers began crashing and showing red screens. I reduced it to 1130mhz again, which was also stable for a while, but then the issue returned. Now it’s running at 1100mhz.

This situation hasn’t happened to me before during overclocking. Is this an issue unique to the Fury series, or is it a widespread problem across NVIDIA/AMD and different generations?

My estimate suggests the OC wasn't as reliable as you initially believed. Instability is now evident. I'd begin anew, aiming to discover the true maximum stable overclock.

My estimate suggests the OC wasn't as steady as you initially believed. At this stage, you're noticing signs of instability. I'd begin anew and attempt to progress gradually to determine the true maximum stable overclock.
