Willing d/c-o/c do damage?

probably no more so than overclocking would anyways, but you may not want to jump directly from max to min in one step cause if anything would cause problems, it would probably be that
 
downclocking shouldnt, overclocking may overheat some items. its not easy to tell whats overheating, most of the time its too high of fsb, ram speed, or cpu speed.
i dont know why you would want to underclock it tho!

thats the real quesion, why do you need to overclock and underclock it many times? I'd say a few times is ok, but i wouldnt go doing it several times a day.
 
if it's good and stable at the overclock speed (and nothing too crazy) it'll probably be fine there, if it looks like things might start failing, drop the speed

When you overclock, you do reduce the life time of the processor. But it usually doesnt effect you since by the time that would happen, you would mosty likely have a new processor.

thing you have got a little confused over what is generating the heat in question.
Also not that heat is rarly the long term killer of an overclocked cpu

I can think of serveral reasons, i downclock my media center so as to run it passive, but then when i need to encode a couple of vidoes overnight i will oc it and turn on the fan
