You wont be able to adjust voltage on that GPU, so clock away? Raising core/mem clocks alone won't do any damage to your gpu.

Also make sure its not set to auto apply clock settings on boot. That way if you hit an unstable clock it won't be applied at startup. Once you find the max clocks then allow it to be applied at boot.
