Hi, I have an Acer Predator Helios 300, It comes with the before mentioned graphic cards, I'd like to know, if it's safe to overlock it? since i've heard that fan speed is important because it keeps the card from getting too hot and eventually break/fry.
Also if possible, I Watched a ''Precision X'' tutorial'', but i don't know what the options ''power target'' ''memory clock'' ''Gpu clock'' do, to be more precise, I don't know what those terms mean when talking about GPU.

Im new to gaming so I think the best option is to ask people with experiencie, because, i do not wish to damage the GPU, thanks.

Well the risk of overclocking gpu over most other is a bit less but even if you are worried or you are a total newbie than i would not recommend it if you care for your hardware. Still if you want to overclock it then go over youtube or this forum and search for safe overclocks for your card. :) just find out which brand and model is your gtx 1060.
