Overclocking also reduces the longevity of the CPU and voids the warranty.
It's not really my business to talk to anyone about their warranty or to tell them how long their processor is going to last by overclocking. If they want to overclock and want to do what I did, it's their responsibility to know what is or is not best for them. I do tell them that whatever they do is at their risk and to keep their PC cool, that's as far as I'm willing to go. Besides that, there is no real way of knowing how long anything is going to last. If someone wants advice and asks for it, I can provide some, but in the end it's up to the individual.
