If the PC doesnt crash, its all good.

Damaging the CPU is more common with really, really dumb oc's. Of course you will wear the CPU down a bit faster, but shouldnt be noticeable.

 

To see if its done properly (that the speed is available to use), CPU-Z should tell you the speed in which it runs at.

I would run a stress test for at least 3 hours to ensure it's stable. Ideally you would want to run a test for 12-48.

And by the way what voltage are you using?

As long as it is kept below 1.4 then you're good to go. I would say to stress test for about 12 hours. You shouldn't use it intensely for more than 12 hours, unless you're rendering video, ect.

Up to 1.45 is fine. If the chip is delided even 1.5V is fine.

Assuming temps are okay.
