    does having gpu fans spinning at high speeds affect its life span?

    ive been looking for a good fan curve for my gtx1080 and i see lots of people talk about how they set it to 20% for 20c, 40% for 40c, so basically a 1:1 ratio. Is this harmful for the card? Ive tried it and it spins REALLY loud. Which kinda worried me. But it did keep the card cool.
