Physico-chemical reactions. If memory is correct, a chemical reaction increses twice in speed when rising the compound temperature by 6 deg C. If you extrapolate, a CPU running at 48 deg C will last twice longer as the same CPU running at 54 dec C. Overclocking results in rising temp and shortening the life of the component. So, when overclocking, you should also add an active management of temperature. 3M once had a sort of non-conductive liquid allowing you to put all your PC in a bucket, and cool the liquid by the usual means. Temperature is also what is killing today's hard drives. Burning CD's, worse, burning DVD's with the unit in the same enclosure than a hard drive is a killing of the hard drive. Some help here quietpc.com But, IMHO, best results are to put all te warm stuff in a separate networked enclosure and keep your "always on" pc with the least components.
