This is a really good article.
Exactly what I did with my HD 7970 GHz and my R9 290 while bitcoin mining 24/7. I was actually able to reach a far higher stable overclock with about 60-80mV undervolt! Around 60mV undervolt gave the highest un-throttled clock speeds (of course, I increased the powertune slider all the way to the right, always), at moderately loud fan speeds.
Regarding my old HD 7950 IceQ Turbo in a kiddie computer, it is undervolted as far as possible (100mV), then overclocked to 1 GHz, with the fan speed turned down to less than 30% - super quiet while still very cool. Beats my GTX 760 in some games!
Agreed - undervolting works wonders for AMD's GPUs!!
