MSI Afterburner is powered by Riva Tuner. Run it and see if it will OC without having the current drivers.

Yes, use Precision for starters. It is very easy to use in comparison to RivaTuner. RivaTuner is not hard to use but has a lot more features and settings that can be frustrating to a new user. I think Afterburner is very similar if you want to try that one also. Chances are that the next version of RivaTuner will support your current (updated) drivers.

Afterburner is easy and will work with any Nvidia card. It also comes with a stress tester to make sure your OC is good. Just install and run it, move the sliders to what you want make small adjustments then stress test. You should be alright with afterburner or evga Precision they both work with current and past drivers.

If you did not enable it on the options page, leave it alone and you're fine. You should not be able to mess with it if it's not enabled.

Which application did you use to stress test it? try MSI Kombustor.

Also the temps can be low but it can still be unstable.
