That's what most folks use

With tweaking software (MSI) we applied:

Power Target +20%
Voltage +100 Mv
CPU clock 1200 MHz
Mem clock 1500/6000 MHz
fan RPM default

Reference speeds are:
Core Clock: 975 MHz / Memory Clock: 1400/5600MHz

They were able to reach:
Core Clock: 1150 MHz / Memory Clock: 1500/6000 MHz

YMMV

MSI Afterburner is among the best overclocking utilities. Supposingly overvolting may reduce the life-span of your gpu but this is relative. It should be obsolete before it dies anyway. Overvolting up until + 100 mV should be fine as long as you keep your gpu temps low. If you do not overvolt at all, your gpu is just releasing free potential without any damage at all. No worries but always read before acting.

Ithink so, I have MSI GTX 960 twn frozer too, i added core clock like +100 and +275 on memclock with no issue, highest temp on heavy load is just 66 celcius.
