So I have an ASUS Strix ROG 1070 OC Editon, and I got MSI Afterburner and put voltage max, memory clock 500 an CPU clock 300 I think, it was getting unstable after running overwatch for about 30mins to an hour, so I reset it to its default values. What I'm worried about is if it's performance had degraded and if he cpus been completely cooked or something really bad like that.

Also, I'm looking for a direct answer, I have not encountered much problems with the gpu ATM, but I am still worried about if the overclock completely wore it out.

You shouldn't have put voltage to the max. Overclocking isn't done that way. You simply increase the clock speed and adjust the voltage only when you hit a clock wall. That said modern graphic cards have automatic protection mechanisms, that should prevent damage to the GPU or any other graphics card component. Finally I think that you should be fine since you didn't run those settings for a long time.
