Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone could assist me in slightly overclocking this GPU. I've been looking online and most people are doing it aggressively, which isn't what I need. Thanks!

overclocking works similarly for every card, whether new or old.
using afterburner
create a fan curve that looks acceptable, around 60% at 80 degrees is fine
increase your MHz by 10-20 and check stability each time
if it crashes, lower it to 2 before the crash happens
repeat for memory with jumps of 50MHz
done

No need to change the voltage.

with gpus, voltage adjustment isn't possible like with cpus.
you need to stick to your power budget and aim for the highest feasible level.
i believe that's around 120% during 480 seconds.
