How many hours are GFX fans supposed to last? I assume that since modern cards are idle when below 60C, the fans are/should be of lower quality. I have owned an Asus R7 260X Dual CU2 1GB since 2012, and the fans still spin perfectly. When i upgraded in 2016 the card was loaned to a friend, and the fans were permanently maxed in AMD Radeon Wattman. He returned the card, I realised its been 3 years witha guy who never turns off his PC and the fans still spin at 3500RPM willingly. Its impressive that Asus put high quality components in what was a low end card, Ive seen Gigabytes Windforce fans fail constantly around me and on higher end models too. Does anyone know if this was pure luck or do certain manufacturers use higher quality bearings?
