Changing it will cause damage, the thing is it's not something you can really measure. I'd say you can 'safely' increase vcore by 15-20% or so but try to use every other option first. You don't want to raise it unless you absolutely have to and even then you want to use as small steps as you can. Personally I don't like going past +0.2V but if the heat is still managable you can usually go higher.

The semi-risk free overclocking is multiplier changing. You can only increase the multiplier on the FX and Extreme series CPUs
