Hi,
So I've got a GTX 260 216. I heard the GT200 Stock cooler is pretty good at keeping the card cool. I've heard with the fan around 80% you can get the clocks up to 800core 1600shader and 1100memory. Would running the fan at 100% severely reduce the fan/cards lifespan. I know saying "will making my card cooler by putting fan higher make it die faster" sounds dumb but would it reduce the life of the fan quite a bit or just a little bit. I'm just hoping to have it for 9-12 months. I don't really care about sound as I have an antec 900 running all fans at highest.
