That's not an easy question to answer, there's just way to many variables and I doubt anyone could say with any certainty. Things you'd have to know include....I want to oc my gpu ,1080 founders edition, but will my gpu lose lifespan even if it is cooled to below 65 Celsius

Overclocked how far? Lifespan relative to what? relative to not being cooled below 65C? relative to not overclocking at all but operating at 80C or above? Are you over-volting to the point of punching through oxides? is the current through the GPU extremely high? (cooling might lower temperature, but current also affects lifespan)
By the way, all semiconductors degrade in operation. Just turning it on makes your card 'lose lifespan', and playing games makes it lose it faster even if not overclocked.
Will it shorten its lifespan?
Yes but unless you go crazy on voltage the card will most likely be obsolete before it dies.
Both my 1070s run 1984-2012 mhz depending on work unit for folding. No voltage increase needed on either. One is an ASUS DUAL. the other EVGA SC.
Both have run 24/7/365 100% load for the last 2 years. That equates to at least 5-6 years of gaming if you game 8 hours every day.
Folding is much harder on a card than any game.
Before that I used 650TI boosts @1200mhz ( still have one in wife's computer) and before that GTX 460s@850mhz.( and still have one in nephews computer for minecraft)
I did lose a pair of 460s from a lightning strike that took out quite a few things in the house, but have never killed a card overclocking it.
If done properly and cooled properly the risk is minimal.
Wat.During gaming I run 83 Celsius on one card.
No, but it's not doing you any favors either. It's not worth raising if the gpu already runs over 80C.my voltage is at 100% in the picture, is that bad
