Vram overclocking effects question

I have a question that I can't seem to find a answer to. When you overclock the vram of a gtx 780 does the voltage or timing increase and how much are you really reducing the lifespan by? There just doesn't seem to be in depth documentation about everything that is going on when you increase the speed.

When you increase frequency that is all you are doing when adjust the sliders in afterburner. You would have to pump up voltage seperately. Which could reduce lifespan. Personally I don't see the point in overvolting a gpu because it's more dangerous than doing it to a cpu and voids the warranty. You can get massive overclocks without even touching voltages on 780s.

Over volting doesn't really harm gpus.

At least not with all the bs bios out there locked at 1.21 or less.

Been ocing and over volting every gpu I've owned for 3 years without a single issue.

Vram feeds the core an oc will help. On classified cards you can adjust the vram voltage independently through the classified controller.
