Keeping GPU overclocked bad?

[Checks]

I overclock my Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 Gaming +80MHz without adding any voltage and the fans are always running whenever I turn on my PC. When idle, my gpu stays at 135Mhz, but in game reaches 1446Mhz and never reaches above 60 degrees due to my fan settings. Also, my power limiter is set at 135%. Is keeping this gpu overclocked going to shorten the life span?



Sorry if this is dumb, I'm still a newb at computers.

You won't noticeably shorten the lifespan of a GPU on the stock BIOS, I have my fans running constantly too by the way.

At stock voltage, by the time your video card dies from the overclock, it will be worthless. But every bit of extra Mhz and heat will bring the GPU to death faster. Just not fast enough for people to tell.
