gtx 970 overclocking issues

So i can overclock the gtx 970 fine, i can get 200 on the core and 400 on the memory without even touching the voltages. but as soon as i try to go over that no matter how much i up the voltage it becomes unstable, and sometimes crashes. Ive almost got it up to 250 on the core clock (1503 mhz) with +20 on the core voltage but its not incredibly stable there and it makes me nervous to keep it at that.

 

So should i just count my losses and stick with my 200 core and 400 mem overclock? its not like its not a huge performance increase, everything goes up by like 10 frames.

yeah, although i think part of the issue for that is just finding the sweetspot clock speed
