All overclocking tools can be dangerous, especially on a device with passive cooling (no fans).  I wouldn't risk it unless replacing your Z is no big deal to you.

hmmm .... i use qoverclock.  i think the maximum you can increase it the mhz to is 236 or so ... 30mhz more than stock.  i've never run into any issues with heat....  the main issues with overclocking are going to be battery life.  if the processor is using up more energy, your battery will lose it faster.  however, with the overclocking tools i've seen, there's also the ability to underclock the cpu allowing for the opposite effect.

Iv had no problems over and under clocking my 5500.  Although you may see a slight shimmer on the screen at certain frequencies.

Usualy I would overclock on porwer on the internet and underclock out and about listening to mp3s with the screen off.
