Can unstable clocks permanently damage a GPU?

I had my 2070 super running at just over 100mhz core, about +45mhz to memory, and to stop throttling I had the board power limit increased to 111% as that's how high it would let me go. The overclock appeared to be stable so I used it for a couple of months but when I eventually ran an OCCT test it threw a small number of errors. I'd only experienced a couple of game crashes in that time frame and most games didn't do that at all. Now I'm concerned the card could * potentially * have sustained permanent damage even though temps were great and voltage was untouched. Card is back on stock settings now.

No I don't think you damaged anything with those settings. 

 

Have you ran the stability test at stock settings now without errors?

Yeah I have for both memory and core, no errors detected
