Can't say I have...
For that matter, I don't think I've heard of Athlon 64's being killed directly from vcore either, only from excess DRAM voltage.
Even if I'm missing any, I think that the amount of voltage required to quickly fry a CPU are far past amounts which will stop yielding much benefit in clocking.
Theoretically, higher voltages on the same chip will yield a lower lifespan, but it's rather difficult to test, as in either case, the lifespan is measured in years.
