Because you two don't have powerfull graphics cards.. even my i5 3570k @ 4.725 or my old i7 920 @ 4.2 Ghz are/were bottlenecking my cards...

I also OC to encode videos with some hard coded filtrations and so on, also I do F@H so it helps ALOT!

Btw all processors differ when we talk about keeping its lifetime like my old i7, its maximum voltage to get a lifetime of about 8 years was about 1.34 volts, and the new cpu's like ivy bridge are somewhere about 1.55v...
