The OC Genie is generally pretty conservative, and consider relatively safe. Adding voltage to overclock can theoretically shorten CPU life. That being said if you stay within safe voltage and keep the temperatures under control your CPU will still live longer than you are likely to have it.

If you want to enable it go for it. However if you don't actually need to over clock, there is no reason to consume more power and produce more heat.
