I don't know, probably 8 years would be a guess but it isn't
the important factor. The important factor is why it is
running hot, and if that is due to poor system cooling. IF
that is the fault, it will kill OTHER parts far sooner than
the CPU.

You should run Prime95. large in-place FFTs stress test for
a long time to be sure it remains stable.
