As long as heat is managed, the only damage will be your hashrate tanking because the data no longer makes sense.
But can it produce more heat when clocked higher, even though the potentiometer is not touched?
In CPU overclocking, as long as you use fixed voltages, the heat output should not be affected by the clock speed. It is usually directly related to voltage.
it does as more current will pass as it switches more times per second, so drains more power. these asics gets quite hot at 700-725 mhz the stock fan wont keep up, the 6600 rpm axial fan i set helps a lot to keep them but i see generating the push pull helped me to pull more heat out but i saw no hashrate improvements in my case.
i will test as @sidekick shared, i will now under and over volt it and do push pull with axials so y pass a ton of air to it to avoid having thermal issues and see where do we get
