ROFL.
Short answer is no.
If you're not an extreme overclocker ( overclocking with dry ice, cascade, LN2 ) it's not going to bug you unless you push the CPU too far on air/water for a relatively long period.

Running it on air at 4GHz @ 1.2V to 1.28V will more than likely do no harm to the CPU and it will live long enough for you to upgrade to a new CPU/platform.

There's always a chance of it degrading or dying but you shouldn't take that as granted.
