Your CPU will last just as long at 1.85 as it will at 1.75. It will last longer than you will want to use it.

You shouldn't have any problems at 1.85 volts as long as your keep the heat under control with a good cooling solution for your cpu, be it air or water cooled.

Voltage does not kill, Heat kills. Its that simple. If you keep if cool then the voltage wont hurt it. This ofcourse does not apply to hooking jumpercables to your CPU, but within reason just keep the temps down.
