I believe the life span is only reduced when under high temperatures for long periods of time. If watercooling your cpu then by all means overclock within reason. Nowadays you find alot of companies selling motherboards with overclock facilities on them direct out of the box and the same for most graphics cards. It is still something that I will not do personally simply because my system is adequate for myself. Most people who overlcock also want to test their systems to see how much it can actually handle.
