Yeah, but when they talk about processor lifespan, they're talking about decades, not years or months or weeks. So even if you were running your CPU near the max temps, you'll upgrade or build a whole new computer way before the processor is about to die. Aside from CPUs that are faulty or DOA right from the start (or fried from overvolting when overclocking, but that's another matter), I've never seen a CPU that has died from normal use.
