Problems overclocking GTX 650Ti OCGuru and MSI

I just got an HTC Vive. I'm waiting for the new Pascals cards to drop before I pick up a VR ready card. Until then, I wanted to see if I could squeeze a little more juicy out of my crusty 650ti.

I downloaded both OC Guru and MSI, and I can't seem to get them to do anything useful.

OC Guru, (following a guide I found online) I bumped up the core speed from default to 1175 and the OC memory to 6.4 GHZ. According to what I think I'm reading on this guide at least. I haven't OCed in a long time and never seriously. And it only let me bump up the voltage by .050, which doesn't seem like enough according to that guide?

Anyway I ran Uniengine's Heaven benchmark on it and it gets all the way through, ranging from 15-60fps. Usually around 20. Temps never break 45.

So that's not a big difference, so I uninstalled and then installed MSI afterburner. On this one I can't change any of the sliders at all? I don't know why? And I changed the settings to unlock stuff, but it's still locked. Not sure why it won't let me move the sliders etc...

Okay so I went back and reinstalled OC Guru again, and now it's letting me change sliders again but every time I try running the benchmark it kind of crashes. These are the settings I used last:

And then I get this message sometimes when it black screens:

EDIT: So that's weird. It looks like from the monitoring info that I'm only getting half my intended clock speed? Is one of my gpu cores broken or something?
