    in most respects i highly doubt it.. but intel do provide some cover for the overclocking of their processors : http://click.intel.com/tuningplan/

    of all my years of overclocking ive never had a problem so im not too worried.. as long as you know the specifications of the hardware and do your research you should be fine for the most part.

    As long as you don't do anything stupid like having no heatsink, or turning the voltage to max, there's little chance that you'll damage you CPU. It's usually estimated that you'll shave a little from the life expectancy but it will probably be well obsolete before it breaks.
