eh nothing wrong, you just get more throttling when you do that.

I have an MSI GS63vr 8rf i7-8750H and it runs hot when im playing pubg (80-92C), but then i accidentally overvolted because i was too dumb for not looking for the sign - or + and i jst scrolled down with the voltage of choice. Then, i overvolted of an offset of 0.150 instead of -0.150. my fan started to get loud and i noticed that i went the opposite way. After that, i went to set it at default and closed pubg (On offset voltage of +0.150 for 5mins and temp reached 95C). nothing seems wrong and everything is working fine since a week ago (on offset voltage of +0.150). Im really worried if i destroyed something or it lessened the life span of my laptop...  

PS: im at -0.150 right now and temps decreased 10-13C on pubg.

If there's nothing that seems wrong it's probably fine. As long as you don't smell burning it's all good.
