you will have stopped using the pc before the cpu goes, minimum I think you will get at least 8 years.

it depends. A mild overclock, with low temperatures will not reduce life much at all, 20 years it should last.
a very high overclock, with high V core, high QPI voltage, high D ram voltage and high heat can kill a chip in a week. Some don't last a day when pushing really hard. lol
Most Overclocks I see around here should have the chip last 6-15 years.

So I will most likely have replaced the computer as obsolate before it has died of the strain of overclocking.
