I don't have the EE model, but 875 was pretty easy w/ a slight voltage tweak.

I'm using the MSI afterburner instead of evga eleet simplay b/c it has more features and better monitoring imo

It actually runs stable at 900core/2100mem but I turned it down b/c I needed to increase voltage a little more than my comfort level..

currently at 1.050V with the 875 mhz oc and it runs super cool, around 62oC under load and these cards are supposed to be good running anywhere under 105oC

when it comes to the cards it's all about luck on your individual card when it comes to OCing... I've seen people claim 925mhz stable on some forums but really wonder how cool they run xD

Artifacts means you overclocked or there's too little voltage, what V r you running?

Why did you get a $1200 cpu when the rest of your system is so mediocre?
