If you have common everyday RAM, chances are it wont be able to take to high of settings.

You wont necesarily hurt anything (Unless you do somthing extreemely rediculous) since all it will do is not post into windows.

You want good ram if you want to use good settings. Easy way of putting it.

Yes RAM does heat up and hault if it gets to hot.

I'd suggest you run somthing similar to PRIME95 or even Sandra to do a burn in / test on your RAM with the new settings. This truely checks wether it can hold your current settings.
