It might actually help the CPU last longer, though it’s tough to tell how stable the whole system will be until you tweak the right settings. For boosting performance, most people stick to the power limits they already have, rather than changing the voltage.
The main downside of undervolting is the risk of instability. It might lead to crashes in games, apps, or even the operating system because the CPU lacks sufficient voltage for the current clock speed. This instability is more common during performance increases. But it doesn’t harm the hardware directly—just risks losing your work if things go wrong.
