I'd leave the voltage at stock and work the multiplier up until it isn't stable first.

Funny, I do both. Let everything to Auto and bump the multiplier, test for stability and temps, and stop after either temps are too high or stability isn't there.

Next step is to leave the voltage at spec and move the multi up, monitor temps and stability till the wall is hit. Bump the voltage and see where it's stable... lather, rinse, repeat.
