It's really tough to quantify how much certain settings affect lifespan of card versus other settings.  Key factory is heat, maybe overvolting, not sure.  The hottest I let my cards get is 62 degrees.  I use the closed shell design that blows air out the back of the GPU, but I've mounted everything sideways so the back now points up.  The component you most need to worry about when it comes to shortening lifespan is your PSU.  Make sure it's not running higher than 80% max wattage.  Thread may have been better off in mining subform, get more knowledgeable people looking at it.
