Artifacts are signs that indicate you should slow down. You should stop increasing speeds when these indicators appear.

I'm new to overclocking, but I've been checking videos and forums for tips. I was using a Core Clock of +140Mhz and when I increased it to 150 Mhz MSI Kombuster, artifacts started appearing gradually. Since I was at 0/309, I lowered it back to 140 and the number rose slowly again. Now my Core Clock is at +135 and Memory Clock at +250, after about 20 minutes the Kombuster shows 0/1 for artifacts. Is this safe? Should artifacts always be at 0/0? Thanks!
Reset memory overclock settings. Begin with GPU overclocking and perform stress tests and benchmarks such as Heaven, Valley, and Superposition to verify stable clock speeds. After confirming stability without crashes or interruptions, proceed to memory overclocking. Start with a +50mhz offset on the memory. Execute the stress test for at least 30 minutes, extending up to an hour to check for artifacts. Continue increasing memory speed in increments of 50mhz, conducting stress tests and benchmarks between each step. Repeat until artifacts appear. Once artifacts occur, reduce the speed back by 50mhz and run a comprehensive extended stress test on all benchmarks to ensure everything functions properly.

Once artifacts appear, reduce the speed by 50mhz and perform an extended stress test on all benchmarks to confirm stability. For a benchmark like Heaven, run it for approximately 4 hours using MSI Afterburner. Review the generated graphs in MSI Afterburner to check for spikes. Alternatively, monitor the stress periodically to detect any artifacts.
