For an Nvidia card, you open Geforce Control Panel, go to the change display resolution section. Click customize, create custom resolution.

yeah, you can't really damage it, as far as I know. If it goes to high than the monitor will allow when you test, it will automatically revert back to the previous rate as long as you don't save it. So if your screen goes black or looks wierd, then just wait 20 or so seconds to inform your computer that it didn't work out well (It will display a dialog that will undo that change in 15 or so seconds unless you click a button)
