Yes use CCC or MSI Afterburner.
The only thing you can't do is adjust the voltage.

825-900/1150-1220 it's hard to say and depends on the card.
Use something like Furmark/Kombuster to check for stability.

Generally speaking you'll probably get ~850mhz core speed. Mine at stock volts are good up to about 870/875. For memory, most people seem to be able to get 1200. Might be 1170-1220 tho.
