oh ok, 70C under load is just fine then. ideally you want it to be under 90C under load. though the 290X can safely be run above 90C, it will start to throttle if you get too close to 95C as you found out.
remember that a core of 1000 Mhz is technically already overclocking since that is the rated boost clock. the base clock is actually only 727 Mhz. a safe overclock would be ''od6config --set core=1050,mem=1375,power=50''
