Just played around with occing, which normally is not my toy. The results you can see i.e. in techsoldiers thread.

I've realized that occing memory to the limit did not result in higher 3dMarks11 necessarily. It was about +510 in this case which worked ok. But +560 seems to decrease.
Interesting that I've found an article where hardcoop came to the same conclusion.

They say they could not raise the voltage slider higher than 1.150.
Whereas I can push the slider to 1.215 V.
So what would happen if I set the voltage to 1.215V? Can  I break something?
 
What I really don't grasp is, as this is  my first overclocking experience in the nvidia world, how gpu clock, mem clock, voltage and CPU clock work together for highest results.
 
If experts here could give me some advise I would highly appreciate this.

    I found the same thing with the memory overclock, 550 consistently gave lower results than 500.
     
    As for the voltage slider I can push it to 1.215 but it resets itself to 1.175. I've noticed that even when the voltage slider is left at default, it still jumps to 1.175 under load so I haven't done any testing with it boosted.
