Games to test overclock stability.

Fortunately I am under water so no worried about heat or noise :)

The directX errors only happen after 3+ hours and even then it's not guaranteed.

Also just ran GPU-Z to find the exact asic and discovered that my card was running in 8x 2.0 mode due to a soundcard in the other 16x PCIe slot. I put a PCI soundcard in instead and now it runs at 16x 2.0. Will this affect anything?
 
Try Crysis2 game. It's good oc-ed cards tester. In my case at least :) If you can see some "marks" on screen, it means game hang up is coming.
And then, use Afterburner to adjust "power limit" eventually.

Normally I'd use Furmark, but its hardware usage might be different, so you have to test few types of "frying" before you get some picture.
 
I test crysis 2 and it wouldn't use more that 90% of my GPU so I assume that it isn't going to push it enough to cause it to topple.

I am fairly sure that 1241 is a tad bit too far so I am trying 1202 at 1.2v. Am almost certain that it is fine.

Playing through crysis 3 at the moment - holy bawls does it look good. 1440p at high settings and 2x SMAA, minning around 50fps.
 
BF3/BF4 multiplayer is a good test. It loads all of your cores, will grab as much RAM as it can and will hammer your GPU if you bump the settings up.
