You can eliminate the risk of burning out your card, or CPU, by just not touching the voltage. Leave it be. I've got my I5-3570k to 4.2GHz on stock voltage before, and don't worry about warranties either - As long as you don't over-volt the card/CPU Intel, AMD and Nvidia will have no way of telling that you've been running the clock speed any higher. Also, you will not see a difference in games if your GPU is bottle-necking you. Remember; Your PC is only as fast as your slowest part.
With overclocking your CPU, go as high as you can on stock voltage before your windows doesn't start or it is not stable, then just go back into the BIOS and go back to your previous settings. And run Prime 95 or other stress testing tools for at least 12 hours
