In msi afterburner move the sliders to the right a little at a time. Its easy peasy

inbetween increases, either run a gpu stress test program like furmark, unigine heaven or a game.
if its fine, then move the slider some more, and repeat test.
keep going until you get artifacting, or ctd, then just lower the overclock or increase voltage (if able).

Un change the volts go into the options and tick the box for enable voltage adjustments or something similar. Not on my comp so can't look it up

you keep increasing the core till you get artifacts happening on the screen or things freeze up,you lower the core frequency say by 10mgz or so and then test for stability,increase the voltage,not by much,and increase the core,keeping an eye on temperatures,coz the more volts you put thru,things are gonna get warmer
