Overclocking a 970 reference...?

[Legend]

Is there a guideline anywhere for doing this, using Afterburner for example? I've never OC'd a GPU before so would like to be sure I'm going about it the right way.

This guide is for 670, but just as relevant for 970.

Move sliders from the left to the right, done.
Most if not all should boost 1450+

As above & run a few Benchmarks/Games to check if stable.
