The power (current) density itself, if increased beyond specifications by over-voltage, can cause material degradation (movement of atoms and ions).

More efficient removal of heat does not directly equate to "no" damage.
Yes but electromigration doesn't simply occur in days or months... it takes longer.

Also, removing heat helps to prevent degradation of the cpu, no doubt.
