Turning fans on and off is almost always a function of the hardware and then they have a minimum speed anyway. Overclocking a video card would be a driver not the OS.
1. I just said it was possible to break the monitor, not probable.

2. Fans can actually be a function of the O.S Depending on whether you hook them up to variable controlled pins or not and whether your BIOS settings have priority over software fan settings. My friend had a laptop running Linux and his fans wouldn't run after he booted into the OS until we installed the correct fan modules.

3. The driver interfaces directly with the OS. Hardware instructions are issued from the OS, not the driver itself. The driver ties into the Kernel and the Kernel controls the hardware.
