GPU Overclocking

[t895]

I have just started overclocking on my GTX 760 and I wanted to know how cautious that I should be when overclocking. I also wanted to know if I should even think about increasing the voltage on the card, I am also concerned about how high the temperature should be. And finally I am not sure what benchmarking tool I should use, because at one time I used Unigine Heaven when I had an overclock applied, this crashed it, but when I used FurMark, it worked perfectly fine. Any answers would be appreciated.

If anything crashes your OC is too high

Use a game like crysis 3 to validate how stable your OC is (unigine heaven is not as demanding as crysis 3)

You can try moving the voltage if your GPU temperatures are safe

The crash means u went too far with overclocking.

It's always better to keep it in a 'safe' zone.

Would increasing the voltage allow me to overclock even more and possibly prevent crashes?
