Overclocking is always going to have a negative effect. Even with an excellent cooler, you're going to shorten your chip's lifespan.
But anyway, everyone's situation is different when it comes to overclocking. You have to have a decent aftermarket cooler, yes, but you must also be aware of your case's ambient temperature, the temperature of the room that the machine is in, your PSU's power, etc. Basically, increase your clocks little by little and see how stable your machine is. If it starts crashing or bluescreening, clock it back down.
