Using EVGA Precision, raise your core clock by 25 Mhz and run Heaven benchmark. If it passes, raise it again by another 25 Mhz until it crashes. When it crashes, lower the core clock by 5 Mhz and run Heaven again. Do that until it runs stable. That will be your maximum core clock. Then do the same with the memory portion. After you're all done, test it with some games. If it doesn't crash then you're good. If it does then lower some of the core and memory.
