it is dangerous if you mess up with the voltage and go over the limit and can cause permanent damage. but there are lotsa precautions anyway so don't worry.

yes. it only uses stock voltage anyway. though you might get random restarts and some bsods or some issues about the driver not working when you overclock way off the clocks but that's just normal. just restart your pc and it should be fine.
just don't mess with the voltage (catalyst doesn't support changing voltage anyway, so don't worry)
cheers

It's safe. You can overclock to your hearts content as long as everything is stable after the overclock. If you start getting artifacts, BSODs, freezes, lock-ups or anything out of the ordinary after you overclock, slowly reduce your core clock and/or memory clock until the symptoms go away.
Ignore the voltage thing gerikoh was talking about, most people who OC their cards don't even mess with the voltage.
