Can overclocking the hardware cause any damage?

Yes , if you overclock to much and don't have proper cooling then you can burn out youre hardware.

I know this is a "PC" forum, but I figure I'd put this here.

For all you mac users out there (like me) who want to overclock their video cards, it just got alot easier.

You'll need a mac running OS X with an ATI video card.

That great little utility will clock you up, no restart required!

Or, use GraphicsAccelerator (made by the same person) it you need the to oc your Nvidia cards.

Do you mean an Intel integrated graphics chip? Afaik Intel doesn't make videocards.
And afaik Intel's integrated chips are not overclockable.

kinda new to overclocking in general as well as overclocking video cards but my questions are: when i overclock the video card with one of the programs listed above, will i be able to undo the overclock or turn it off so it runs normally? and also what type of results will i see if i overclock?

thanks

Most Windows based o/c programs come with an "undo" facility. Always overclock gradually (by 1mhz at a time). You will only really know if the improvement is worth doing by testing the result...good luck.

Like when these guys take off the heatsink and the processor explodes (very loudly) and blows a hole in the mother board lol
