Hey guys,

Got a small question. I always set my ATI cards with custom fanspeeds (70% top card, 75% bottom card) when my Windows is booted up. My question to you all is: are manually set fan speeds going to increase the wear of the fan? I dont wanna end up with broken GPU fans...

Regards,
Crazykenny
