Yes, a GPU can still be damaged even if voltage isn't touched, as long as the system remains stable and temperatures stay within safe limits.

No, GPUs and CPUs can only get physically harmed by too much heat when you overclock. If you don’t adjust the voltage, your main danger is drivers failing and then rebooting (or possibly a blue screen). As long as you keep things within safe limits, pushing the voltage isn’t necessary.

I agree. The most serious issue arises when voltage isn't sufficient during overclocking, leading to instability in the system and display problems. Damage occurs from too much voltage and/or heat.
