Here is an article that explains it, but in a nut shell overclocking pushes the component to its limits to obtain better performance. This will void your warranty and often results in shortening the life span or killing the component. Before you try this make sure you know what you are doing.

Only real danger with overclocking (CPU or VGA) is overheating. If you have some decent CPU/VGA cooling solution, if you know your way around BIOS and if you are not afraid to open up the case to reset the CMOS (switching 1 jumper back and forth), you have nothing to worry about. Experiment all you want.
