1.4 Volts too much?

Overclocking reduces the lifespan of your components from 15 years to about 10 years. Jayztwocents overclocked 80% and had his processor live for longer than the system (the motherboard eventually died before the CPU) It is his latest video. So in short no overclocking wont decrease the lifespan that much and even if it does die it will be in 7-9 years. Will you still be using the system in 7-9 years. Probably not. But decreasing the voltage is always good  as it lowers temps. If your temps are in check then you are good.

Would 1.4 volts decrease the lifespan of a 5820K? The most intensive thing I do is rendering (gaming and other stuff at the same time sometimes) My cooler is an H100i v2.

It's more of a question of your motherboard's power deliverly at that point. At 1.4 volts, your CPU will pull a lot more power under full load such as rendering and your motherboard might shut itself off from over-current protection. If you find a stable overclock that's actually better than what you could do with 1.3V, I'd go for it since the lifespan of the CPU wouldn't be affected as much as the lifespan of the motherboard.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

Yeah but that was a low clock core2duo which was pretty much standard for them to do ~100% OCs, they were FSB limited rather than frequency limited. 

 

But the rest is fine
