R7 260X overclock Voltage

Well, I drove them on stock speed for 2 days and the artifacts are gone.
Now I also installed a Side case fan: fractal design 140mm , which gives clean cool air to the video card, and the GPU temp is lowered by 5 degrees Celsius.
Which is great ofcourse, so then I decided to overclock again to the 1250 Mhz core clock and 1800 Mhz memory clock, with +10 mV, It did pretty well until I was playing for 1 hour straight. I got a super arfifact over the hole screen with colors...
So I think this is odd, because of this test : [URL="http://www.overclockers.com/amd-r7-260x-graphics-card-review"[/URL]

The tester say :
Overclocking for Stability
Just as we found in our earlier R9 280X and R9 270X reviews, overclocking software hasn’t quite made jump to these new GPUs as of yet. They allow core speed and memory speed to be adjusted, but we don’t yet have any voltage control. However, that won’t stop us from seeing what the card can do without voltage manipulation.
After quite a bit of tinkering, I finally settled on a GPU core speed of 1250 MHz and a memory speed of 1825 MHz (7300 MHz Quad Pumped). That’s a +150 MHz increase in core speed (12%) and a +200 MHz increase in memory speed (11%). Not too shabby considering no voltage increases were available. Because of the lack of voltage control, and that I’ve basically reached the maximum this card can do without it, we’ll forgo the “Pushing the Limits” section of the review.
And they even say they could get MORE out of it?!?!!?!
see this picture, they didnt even changed the voltage..

This is a link picture of the topic R7 260X test they made.
Not Mine, And I only have Core Voltage controle , yes and I gave Voltage clearance/Monitoring.
As you can see This is my current overclock, but why do I still get artifacts?
Do you have a picture of your current overclock setting in afterburner?
I did go from 1800 Mhz to 1700 Mhz because the VRM perhaps gets to hot, but there's is a brand new suck fan which gives cold air so... I really don't under stand why I can't put the Memory on 1800 Mhz or even 1850 Mhz as they say in the test.

Well I get your point... But I had the overclock from 1175 Mhz stock to 1250 Mhz GPU and 1625 Mhz memory clock to 1800 Mhz Voltage +20 mV.
And it worked GREAT
BEFORE the CPU overclock, now I still get artifacts wether game I play, So I think there is something wrong with the ram which is overclocked from 1333 Mhz to 1866 Mhz without ajusting the timings.
Does anyone know whats wrong?

Put all the system back to stock speeds then test the GPU...

No sadly I Do not, but it just can't be the GPU above all it is brand new , and it worked fantasticly before the CPU overclock, and the PSU is just making a tikking sound since not long ago
The GPU is getting it power through a 6 pin connector to 2x molex adaptor.
because the PSU doesnt have a 6 Pin connector..

The Seasonic G 550W would be a great fit for you and won't break the bank
