it's a sapphire hd4870 512mb reference PCB card... yes I did everything you said above, but have not tried ati tray tools, or flashing the bios on the cards

ohh yeah those are reference cards , should be easy as pie . Also check out RBE ( radeon bios editor) nifty tool , basically allows you to edit bios for permanent overclocks , voltages.
Go to installed directory of MSI Afterburner, default: C:\Program file\MSI Afterburner
Use notepad to edit “MSIAfterburner.cfg”
Change the parameter of “EnableUnofficialOverclocking” from “0” to “1”
will lift the clock limit on MSi afterburner.

I'm trying to overclock my Asus HD4870 1GB. I'm not sure if the sensors are bugged or what but my memory (memio) is 60C idle and 80-83C load. GPU is 50C idle and about 70C load. I basically can't overclock the memory but is there a point to overclock my gpu only?
I tried 800/900 and Vantage score improved over 200 points. If the gpu temp is going to stay stable even with 850/900 then is it ok to keep it that way or it's not good if the memory clock is too low?
As it seems there're no heatsinks on the memory chips near the gpu and I don't want to get a new cooler for it yet.

EDIT: Vantage test crashed with 850/900 and 825/900. Got it running stable with 815/900. Improvement from stock 750/900 in performance mode is about 630 points total and about 670 points for gpu.
EDIT2: Replaced thermal paste and got it running stable with 815/1050. Posting scores soon.

Looks like a decent overclock on that cpu. 
I just saw your submissions at hwbot. Welcome to the world of benchmarking!
It is definitely your cpu holding you back on any 3d benches. You could run all of the cpu benches and get a few good points, since no one on our team has run that cpu. Also, You could check out the benchmarking area for any tips on any of the benchmark tests.
