Question Overclocking GTX 950

Hello, I recently got an OEM GTX 950 from an Acer prebuilt and I need help finding the best overclock, the GPU specs are close to the reference model, Specs from GPU-Z:

Default:

Core clock: 1026 MHz
Memory: 1653 MHz
Boost: 1190 MHz

The card's got a reference GTX 760 like cooler on it, I'm currently running a +200 OC on the core and +500 OC on the memory.

System specs:
i5-4570
8GB DDR3 1600 MHz dual-channel
EVGA 450 W3 80 plus white PSU

Core Voltage: +100
Power Limit: 120
Temp Limit: 95C

Fan curve: 50% until 27C, straight slope until 100% at 90C.

Temp: 43C idle / 81C load

Final Result:

Core clock: +225 MHz
Memory clock: +815 MHz

The rest I keep the same, only fine-tuned the core and memory clock. Thanks to Djoza for helping out, Awesome!

How I OCed: add around 50 MHz to the core clock each time ( I think ), reduced by around half when I think I'm approaching the limit, when I crash, reduced the clock by 10-20, and then just fine-tuned, add or reduce 5-10 MHz. For the memory clock, I go by 100 MHz each time, then just used the same method as the core. Stress tested 10-15 min before increasing clock or reducing, 20-30 min when I want to make sure it works.
