Actually, the entire forum is here to help, including Jim Sachs, author of the Aquarium, and several people in the gaming and 3D industry. Lots of resources of information here!

Override (as described above), is useful for getting around the frustrating, non-sensical 60 Hz barrier Windows 2000/XP have on DirectX applications. If you are running Windows at 75 Hz, and your monitor is listed as 75 Hz compatible at the target resolution, there is no safety reason why you can't use override to change all DirectX applications from to 75 Hz.

Now, if you use Override to set your refresh rate to something your monitor is not rated for, then yes you can do damage.
