Depends on how careful the overclocker is. Doing something dumb like not
shutting off the 120VAC mains nor power supply can really shorten the
lifespan of components. Overclocking itself is unlikely to decrease the
lifespan of most hardware.Having the case near an AC vent can only help
matters.Filter the intake fan.
