Is heat the biggest factor when dealing with overclocking a cpu and its lifespan?

What I am getting at is if you clock your chip high and raise voltage, but are able to keep the temps down with liquid or whatever method of cooling you are using...does it affect the lifespan?

Basically im asking is it the heat or the chip calculating and working that makes its lifespan shorter?

thanks

it's a total moot point if you overclock correctly which is extremely easy to do following a guide online. By the time a cpu would "die" it would be long long long obsolete. Say if back in the day you overclocked extremely high core 2 duo and say today if it died, a lowly haswell celeron/pentium would pretty much match it or even the old quad core lol.
