I overclocked my GPU (GTX1060) at:
+100 Core Clock
+600 Memory clock..

i haven't touched the voltage, so no Overvolt and no undervolt, just 120% PWR limit.
Temp: MAX in Unreal Heaven 73C, stable framerate and results during benchmark

The fan curve is pretty aggressive but the GPU fan is quite silent so with 35% volume on my speaker the GPU loudness became almost zero

Can this OC damage my GPU?

As long as you increase the overclock is relatively small amounts, you should be fine. You will find the graphics card performance will go up, then level off , and then go down. Choose the final overclock that performance increase has leveled off and is stable.

A benchmark like 3D Mark Time Spy is good for this because it gives you a score at the end of each run. So you can see the performance in real time. It also gives you a score that you can compare with other graphics cards like yours. Plus there is a free version.
