Hi nguyentrung13,
I'm not an hardware expert, but yes, you can overclock your GPU for getting a better score, but you could also lose in stability, especially in long rendering sessions.
If your GPUs have hybrid or water cooling, you can gain a bit further.
Please, have a look at this other discussion for a direct example:

If GPU uses boost core* then you won't lose stability but videocard has controlled to auto-increase or -decrease core speed for prevent stability. ;)

* - "boost core" requires Kepler card or newer cards.
NOTE: I'm sorry for bad english due to mute ;)
