so, in AMD Radeon Software, under tuning, there is an option for an automatic(by the software) overclock. if i do this, does it then avoid warranty if it breaks or is it still covered by warranty. thanks for help everyone!

According to their website (they bolded and capitalized it, not me. The typo is also theirs):

"NOTE!AMD PRODUCT WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER DAMAGES CAUSED BY OVERCLOCKING, EVEN WHEN OVERCLOCKING IS ENABLED VIA AMD HARDWARE AND/OR SOFTWARE. DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS IF YOU UNLESS YOU AGREE TO VOID YOUR WARRANTY."

If you're unsure about overclocking you can leave it be as most video cards and CPU's these days come with a form of automatic overclocking right out of the box that's enabled by default. Essentially your video card overclocks itself automatically assuming temperatures are low enough and there's enough power for it to do so.

Assuming you're using something modern that is. Some older cards / processors may not do it

Yes, Auto OC voids warranty. The real question is whether your retailer enforces that policy. In most situations they do not have the equipment or expertise to check, so they'll let it pass anyway.
