I have a XFX 390, and I want to overclock it, but dont wanna risk losing it.

The warranty states:  Overclocking our products does not void the warranty as long as there is no physical damage to the product or missing components. However XFX Support will not be able to assist you in overclocking the product. 

But when they say no physical damage to the product, do they mean that if I burn it up by incorrect voltage settings it will be physical damage?

It could refer to anything that is burnt on the PCB, or any component on the GPU.

If you mod the BIOS, then double the voltage and burn out the power delivery - warranty is void

If you stick to the settings available in MSI AfterBurner - you're safe.
