Using the CCC Overdrrive does not void your warranty.
ATI puts limits into CCC that only allow you to overclock a GPU to a certain limit that a card can safely perform at..

Not that I don't believe you or anything, but are you 100% sure about this?
Looking at AMD's overdrive info page: http://www.amd.com/us-en/0,,3715_15337_15354_15359,00.html
Scroll to the bottom and you'll see:
"DAMAGES CAUSED BY USE OF YOUR AMD OR ATI PROCESSOR OUTSIDE OF SPECIFICATION OR IN EXCESS OF FACTORY SETTINGS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER YOUR AMD PRODUCT WARRANTY AND MAY NOT BE COVERED BY YOUR SYSTEM MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. "
It's not really clear if it's okay to OC within overdrive's limits

I am 100% sure about this.
ATI has to approve the design of each GPU design and they test that design before selling the card.
The CCC is designed to not allow a user to overclock a GPU beyone a certain limit.
If ATI / AMD did not want users to overclock their GPU's, they would not provide that feature in every drive package.
If you are that concerned with this area, then I would not overclock you GPU or by a faster one

It doesn't say anything about overclocking in the info.

I've had nothing but bad luck with Overdrive in the past....
F*** 30-60 more mhz for instability IMO.

Seems fine to me so far. The auto-tune thing moved my GPU from 669 to 709 and memory to 829 to 939, running on stock cooling.
What's a little confusing to me though is that even though my overdrive is enabled and clocked at higher speeds, looking at the bottom of the Overdrive page in CCC where it says "Current Values" is showing my default non-overclocked speeds. Is that normal? Does Overdrive only enable when you open games or something?
