It may (I doubt it) void the warranty , but it would be hard to prove that what did it.
If warranties were an issue with over clocking failure issues, I imagine they would prevent it all together or make it harder to do.
Ive tested msi afterbuner version 2.2.2 with my G75, seems to work fine.
Only adjusted core an memory frequencies.
Tested mine upto 15% extra on the core and 10% on the memory for heat an stability confirmation (more of a diagnostic check).
It ran flawless with acceptable temps of low 80's c and nice performance increase .
It had no issues at those overclocks so I believe it will be fine at default where I'll most likely leave
I will use afterburner occasionally for temp ,fps an usage monitoring , I have no need to overclock mine
