What is causing artifacts in benchmarks if not heat.

Question for the assembled masses. What considerations are there above and beyond heat in overclocking an R9 290?

I have two watercooled 290's and I am aiming for some big benchmarks, my temps seem fairly stable on both cards, around 45 degrees but when I push the cores over 1000mhz then I start to see issues with artifacts in Firestrike.

What else should I be thinking about if I want to really push these cards to the limit?
