Typically a decent OC on the CPU is pretty safe. Can net you some extra PPD and as long as you do proper testing, you shouldn't have any issues. GPU's though, FAH is very picking with OC's on them. Everything can look to work but you will find things failing at 99% which is very frustrating. Most times even a mild OC on a GPU can cause WU failures. Set one up and test, but if you see failed WU's, will need to back down or even disable the GPU OC.
