High temperature is bad for the processor. Actually, it is bad for any electronic component. For your PC's GPU, CPU and RAM too!
But I don't know if it would kill it fast or slow.
Risky.

As that being said to add to it that you can burn the SoC itself and you won't be able to replace it. Keep in mind all chips are not created equal its hard to believe but its true as 2 different device same exact silicon can have different results. As you supply more voltage to overclock it at higher frequency for faster performance the downside is battery runtime and heat which is the biggest hardware killer and as time goes on you will decease the life of the SoC itself. So if you are OCing I advice you to set up advance mCPU profile to scale the frequency based on the max/avg/min loads. If you don't need the power no need to OC it to 1.6ghz as I have advance mCPU profile set for scaling.
mCPU scale: Max:1612mhz/Min:368mhz (ondemand)
Screen Off: Max:245mhz/Min:245mhz (powersaver)
Battery < 5%: Max:368mhz/Min:245mhz (conservative)
Battery < 30%: Max:768mhz/Min:368mhz (ondemand)
