I'm currently overclocking a Titan X. So far I have the settings on
core: +250mhz
memory: +420mhz
power target: 110%
voltage: +31mv
I want to push the card even further, but I get artifacting if I raise the memory higher than 420. Any tips on what I should do? It is currently very stable, I'm getting around 9,300 In firemark extreme. I am using the reference cooler and at its peak my card gets around 65°c.

your vcore is limited by the stock bios. i highly doubt the titanx bios has been broken yet to allow upwards of 1.50v on the core. im going to guess you're still limited to 1.212v.

on the stock bios you are nowhere near dangerous vcore limits.

leave the memory clocks alone, they wont help much for gaming. leave the overclocking headroom for the core.
GPU overclcoking is similar to CPU overclocking - raise the clock a bit test,........., raise the voltage then raise the clock again and test again.

Usually test with Heaven, Furmark etc.

If it fails, then back it off a bit till it works again.

65C is fine. Over 80C stress testing is a worry.
