True, a lot of the guys at XS believe that as long as you do not throttle or dont run unstable theres no risk of long term CPU failure, if you run at stock your CPU can live upto 15yrs, if you run at overclocked settings with in reasonable volts and do not ever reach thermal throttle/instability then it would still live for atleast 10yrs give or take 2-3 more years even.
