Here are some overclocking options that should keep your GPU safe with your 850W power supply. Since you're new to this, I've included simple details to help you get started.

I was only able to overclock this card to 1130mhz with better air cooling.. I went from a ATX case to an Open air Test bench which enabled me to put extra fans on or near the GPU's..
In case I was only able to go from 1040mhz stock to 1090mhz anything beyond that the card start to hit 94c which throttled the card clock to the safe zone..
open air case allowed me to get better cooling.. by which allowed the cards to breath more now I'm getting 75-83c depending on what games I play..
My personal tip.. get better cooling.. to get better overclock..

All GPUs handle overclocking in different ways. Certain models can reach impressive speeds of 300 MHz, while others might only manage around 50 MHz. It’s a good idea to check out tutorials on overclocking graphics cards and gradually adjust your settings until you achieve a stable boost.

I have the MSI R9 390 in Crossfire.. I was able to get a stable clock of 1130mhz..
here's a screenshot :

MastaMind Hussain shared his experience with an MSI R9 390 in Crossfire, achieving a stable clock speed of 1130mhz. A screenshot was provided for reference, but it didn't assist him. He noted that no video card would be the same.

I possess two saved profiles, one requiring a modest power increase and another demanding a significant boost. The outcome is summarized at the end of this response<|pad|>.
My findings:
First profile: Core Voltage +6 mV, Power Limit +6%, Clock 1140 MHz, Memory Clock 1550 MHz, average frame rate gain +9 fps, max temperature 75°C.
Second profile: Core Voltage +63 mV, Power Limit +40%, Clock 1160 MHz, Memory Clock 1600 MHz, average frame rate gain +10 fps, max temperature 82°C.
*Benchmark conducted in Gears of War 4.
My observations suggest adjusting clock speeds slightly for each test without exceeding power limits. In the Gears of War 4 test, I observed irregular visual artifacts when power demands rose, leading to a stable performance with the second profile. However, the GPU temperature exceeded acceptable levels, so personal decisions remain key.
The conclusion is clear.*
