gtx 980 overclocking

Well I have now put my 2 kaf 2 980s under AIO coolers useing the kraken g10. When I overclock at 140 +core power limit to 110% 0 on the voltage I get 1455 core speeds and the temps are at 50 degrees after 2 hrs of gaming.

Would I see any performance/core increase by rasing the voltage? and if so is it safe to max the voltage to +87 or could I possibley damage the cards??

You can go +87 voltage,no chance of damaging the cards,just more heat generated.

When benching or gaming how close do the cards get to the power target?

In games the highest TDP I have seen was 71%. That was with 50 + voltage 122 power 130+ on the core and 0 on the memory.
