thats great, because i have a EVGA Gtx 650 ti and when i do an overclock, when im playing Battlefield 3 it starts to have some little frame drops. And i just did a little overclock like:
GPU clock: +36
Mem. Clock: +86

My setting on the EVGA 650
default is 1080 coreclock, mine is +222Mhz
default is 5000 memory clock, mine is +400Mhz
Temps are hardly different, this card overclocks like a horse on steroids.

I have a GTX 560 Zotac. My core clock on default is 820. I want to know how much I should go to increase a good amount of fps on Battlefield 3. I tried going over 900, but after a few minutes in game on Medium/High settings I crashed. I tried it on low also, but it crashed faster...

Nope, temps are great due to the cards low power use.
