Use MSI Afterburner.
Set up a faster fan profile that is as loud as you can tolerate.
Raise the power target to max.
Overclock and test.
Dont raise the voltage, see how far you can get with default first, this will give you a baseline.
Then raise voltage a bit and test higher clocks, rinse, repeat until it doesnt overclock any better.
Going for max voltage straight away might reduce the best overclock you can get and make the card a lot hotter for no benefit.
I use Unigine Heaven to test my overclocks.
It doesnt give the exact final overclock because its not an excruciating load. Going for the max stable overclock with a hardcore util imo wears the card out.
Once I have Heaven stable, I back off 10MHz or a bit more and that works great in all games.
If you get a crash in game, reduce the overclock slightly and see if it improves.
You will eventually have the max gaming overclock.
If you arent bothered about getting the absolute max and want stability quickly, set the clock a little lower.
You can then test if less voltage works to reduce max temps (assuming you raised the voltage).
ps good case ventilation and a cooler room help.
If you can turn your case fans up, that will help.
On hotter days you may find the overclock isnt as stable.
Reduce clocks a little if so.

Yes thanks for your reply but as i said i can get max 10mhz without voltage if i put more i get only crash.Should i try then more then 10 mhz and rise voltage so early and if yes how much step by step?there is 0.0000.Max i can put without overvolting is 0.1436 is that ok?

Hmm, precisely.
I cant help you if you dont do as asked.
If you dont understand, explain what it is you dont understand.
Writing as little as possible isnt going to get you anywhere.
No effort = no result.
I have to question why I'm bothering to try at this point.
I dont have ESP.
I loaned my ESP chip to my cat, he wont let me have it back. He knows when I'm coming to get it now, doh!
