Yes, and the hotter it runs the greater the chance of failure. It's not a linear relationship and CPUs are generally pretty tough. Upping the voltages is more damaging and will increase rate of deterioration. Having it run hot + high voltage will lead to early death. Keep it at ~15deg below TJMax and you should be fine for the expected life of the chip [unless you use heroic voltages].
