as much as you can. Seriously just let it go, as long as you don't touch temp targets it's not likely on air you can push high enough voltage to make a difference.

 

Also you will likely reach a point first with insane diminishing returns on voltage overclocks.

I pressed the big black button at the back that kicks it into overdrive it the fans manage sound like a jet engine coupled with my h100i

Overclocking doesn't kill components that fast. ESP when you are keeping them cool (not that cooler means better once you hit like 60C but still.)

it was only getting like 66c max in unigine valley It should be fine under 80c I think

1550 core at the very most for benches, 1520 for everyday stability. the voltage is locked and so is the memory (sigh..)

gonna try 1550mhz 4000mhz see what it can do

Overclock a little, do some benchmarks, then overclock a little more, do some benchmarks and continue doing this untill your GPU runs too hot or the Benchmark crashes. If you do this, you have the perfect overclock.
