Overclocking stress test

What do you guys recommend for stress test? I would normally use Kombustor but it crashes my MSI 280x at stock which is kinda sad. I am thinking of using games like Hitman ABS, Tomb Raider, Star Swarm, Batman ETC.

On a side note does anyone know how to make the voltage actually go up? I say this cause i have it set to 1.25V on Afterburner and it caps at 1.163V which leads to instability due to a lack of POWA.

i7 4770K @ 4.5GHZ, NH-D14, Kingston HyperX Black 8GB, Asus Z87-A, Fractal Design XL R2, MSI TF IV R9 280x, BTFNX 550G

OCCT master race, I'd avoid Kombustor and Furmark.

 

(in all seriousness usually games are the best stability indicator)
A card can appear stable on synthetics and then crash in game, and vice versa. 

Error: 410
