Hello, I'm using a GTX 1080 with MSI Afterburner enabled to boost my card's performance. While playing Battlefield 4, I adjusted the GPU Core clock to around 2100 MHz without changing voltage or memory clock. After applying the settings and returning to the game, it crashed. I'm concerned about potential damage from this change. Can simply increasing the GPU core clock cause harm? Thanks.

It wouldn't trigger any DMG, but raising the core clock to 2100Mhz isn't necessary unless you're using LN2. To achieve 2100Mhz with Boost, the core clock should be about 1970Mhz.
