No.

I cannot give you an answer to this, as there is no set answers. Some cards will only handle 25mhz, some will handle 100. 166 is nuts without a lot of extra cooling.

You need to do this the right way, or don't do it at all.

Here is a good article:

Do it that way, put the time and effort in to do it right, or you're just going to damage your equipment.

You need to back off the overclock.

Overclocking a GPU should be done in 25mhz increments, 50 mhz tops. Turn it up, run tests, confirm its good, and then continue. As well you need to up the fan curve to make sure its cool enough.

Your overclock is too much, the temp sensor may be damaged, and you will do damage eventually.
