I have a zen 3 5600G which I have 44.5 with a bus speed of 100 mhz. CPUZ shows a core voltage of 1.512 but HWiNFO a top core voltage of 1.381.
[SOLVED] Can I damage or shorten the cpu to OCing?

Yes, you very well can if you do not know what you are doing.
If you set voltage too high, or it inadvertently gets too high, you can brick your processor.
Overclocking used to be a way to get better performance for nothing.
No more.
Processors are binned and the better ones are sold with higher specs and prices.
Usually you get better performance in games by allowing the turbo mechanism to boost a couple of cores.
