lol,
ASUS bad boys shouldn't use the features as advertisement if your going to keep how to use them a secret.
I don't use OCCT or anything else to check for artifacts, I wouldn't know when to stop clocking if it didn't artifact.
I use whichever bench software and keep pushing the mhz and volts until it locks up, blue screens or driver crashes.
I don't overclock a card for gaming or normal use as stability is most important for that.
I believe the solder points and hotwire will be easily identified, if it helps without extreme cooling is probably the issue for me.

OCCT with the settings he's describing is just of no worth at all if you're not running OOCT all day long for some reason?? 😛 you will never even put that heavy load on the card other than in OCCT. Like you said, If if starts artifacting in benchmarks, enough to hurt the score, back off with oc.
The matrix cards come with cables that have little connectors that you connect to the card/Mb, no soldering needed for hotwire.
Got two of them hotwired to my MVE. Then there are solder points for smbus so you can set real high voltages, thats for LN2 tho, no use for it on water/air.
I think I have all the info on Matrix cards, if you want it.
Same goes for alot of the extreme features on ROG Extreme boards too, nothing about it in the manual. For good reason I guess.
There are guides and info tho 🙂
EDIT:
Just connect the three VGA hotwire cables to these headers(this is for R4E Mb)
On my M5E it's Vcore, Vmem. PLL (from left header to right header)
Then you can adjust from BIOS or Turbo EVO
