No. 800mhz is 800mhz not matter at what speed.

Um - no.

Cooling facilitates overclocking. Cooling without overclocking will theoretically increase cpu life, but most people don't care about the difference between 5 and 15 years in this day and age.

So - the action of cooling allows for higher voltages and switching frequency (cpu speed) which = faster processing.

did you mean 800mhz is 800mhz no matter what the temp?

Cooling allows sucessful overclocking. Overclocking tends to make processors hotter, so extra cooling is used to make them nice and cool again.

Don't go below 1.2 kelvin (-272C) or your Aluminium interconnects will become superconductive :)
