When the VRAM chips are connected via thermal pads to the GPU cooler, everything should work properly.

It will raise the temperature. It's acceptable as long as your cooler manages to cool both the GPU and RAM. Higher clock speeds create greater friction, which in turn generates more heat. Voltage isn't the sole factor contributing to warmth.

It will work too... I think it's wise to include a fan that directs airflow onto the RAM chips, or even more effectively a water block that fully encloses them.

A 1000 on memory would equate to a 14% overclock. Power usage generally increases in line with frequency, meaning you'd anticipate roughly a 14% rise in heat production (approximately). It shouldn't be too extreme—probably safe, though many cards lack temperature or power monitoring for VRAM.

Voltage isn't the sole factor. Hello, thanks for the reply. I notice my VRAM has thermal pads that send heat to a large heatsink. Is this enough for the overclock?
