RCFProd:
It seems your Antec is probably fine. Depending on the model, these days most are Seasonic rebrands. Seasonic offers some of the top PSUs available right now.
I recall doing something similar. Just set the power limit to maximum and adjust the card settings to +150, +450 on the card, without changing the voltage.
Great, then I’ll stick with +150 and set the memory to +300. If everything works well, I’ll try to push it to 450+.
By the way, does increasing memory raise my temperatures? I’m in a hot city and I’m using the air conditioner to keep both me and my PC running.

Tracking temperatures is the most effective method to assess your performance after the overclock. Rather than using fanless mode, I would set the fan speed to 60% manually. Improved cooling is possible. If temperatures go above 70 degrees, it might be beneficial to increase the fan speed to up to 80%.
