Well actually it is "topped" at 1066.
And not all i series are locked processors. The Extreme models are unlocked.
Intel's locked processors do not allow users to individually clock the cores in a CPU. So overclocking is done by other means.
Overclocking does not damage the components of a computer directly or immediately, but overclocked components, running faster, run hotter. It is the heat that damages components. Overclockers need better cooling solutions to make their systems run smoothly.
Overclocking can also cause instability problems. It's a test and see process. If the system shows strange behavior with a particular overclock it is then necessary to "throttle down" to a more stable speed.
