I do not much like trying to overclock graphics cards.
They are binned, and the stronger chips are used in factory overclocked units which command a better price.
You could get lucky, but do not count on it.
The benefits are minimal, and screwing around with voltages can permanently damage your card.
In normal times, I would suggest just to buy a stronger card, but such cards are all but impossible to find, let alone at anything less than 2x MSRP.
Do not take a chance on damaging a card that would be hard to replace.
OTOH, the 6600K and z170 motherboards are designed to be overclocked.

I've often heard that voltages can't really brick the card since they're manufactured with protection in place.
Personally, I've undervolted my 3080 and checked the voltage chart—there wasn't enough room to risk damage.
If you're trying to do something risky, you might end up harming the GPU by pushing the temperature limit, turning off the fans, and increasing voltage or power, but that would require a deliberate attempt to damage your card.
