  Pretty sure the gpu BIOS is limited by default, nothing the OS can do about that.

  Same for other parts like the cpu - core voltage is determined by the motherboard.

  I doubt the os can just go “2V vcore” and blow up hardware.

    Yeah there’s quite a bit of safety mechanisms in place but I imagine windows could just adjust all the gpu overclocking settings to the max and make the system unstable. Plus just reformat all of your drives

    Yeah you definitely can’t easily kill it, only shorten its lifespan
