Yes it will.  It will also shorten the lifespan of a very expensive system board.

It will raise the operating temperature of the GPU and mainboard beyond what it's designed to handle, so it will reduce the lifespan of the system even if it's not clearly overheating.  These systems are designed pretty close to the edge of tolerance for the internal components to begin with, so there's very little margin for pushing them beyond design spec without overheating or stability issues.

Always - results not guaranteed, nor can anyone guarantee you won't damage the system by trying.
