R9 280x OC

I'm facing difficulties even with a minor 10% overclock on my r9 280x 3gb.
My cooling solution is Kraken G10 with H90, which keeps temperatures under 45°C during load.
I'm using Msi Afterburner to adjust settings, but the video drivers keep crashing intermittently, forcing me to close and restart games about 80% of the time.
I'm using standard ATI drivers and have tried beta versions without resolving the same problems.
For example, a core voltage of 1200mV to 1256mV, power limit increased by 10%, core frequency from 1050 to 1175MHz, memory clock from 1500 to 1700MHz.
I can achieve perfect performance at around 25% OC, but stability over longer periods remains an issue.
Anyone have experience with Omega drivers?
Thanks, Chris

You don't have to handle the voltage at such a low setting for overclocking. Consider setting the power cap all the way down to 20% and proceed from there.

You don't have to adjust the voltage for that low overclock setting. Just tweak the power limit all the way down to 20% and start from there. Even at 20%, the drivers still fail and then recover.
