I am very unfamiliar with having the ability to change GPU boost Clock, Memory Clock and etc. Currently it is set to the middle. Should I set it to max? I was having some issues with games crashing when I had the setting cranked all the way, but I am not sure if that was the problem. Having it cranked all the way, does that make it unstable or cause potential harm to the cards? Thanks.

The boost speed is changing the actual clocks of the card, So you are actually Overclocking the card.

How much the card boosts depends on temp, power limit. So yes you will get instability if your card is clocked too high.
You'll need to push the clocks up a bit (maybe 20mhz). Play a game, like a full game of BF3.

If the card crashes go back down 20mhz, if it runs smoothly go up another 20mhz and test.
(repeat)

The middle of the slider is your default settings, So yes cranked all the way of course it's going to be un-stable. It can't cause damage other than more heat or if you change the voltage of the card.

-good luck
