i overclocked my evga rtx 2060 sc ultra and i am getting fan speeds of 2200+ when going above 60c
will theese rpms break my gpu? i am looking for my gpu to last 4+years (underload temps-avg 70c)
 
Solution
I have an overclocked i7-9700k as well as a EVGA RTX 2060 KO, so I think that I can shed some light on both your CPU and GPU question.

My 9700k is overclocked to 5.1 GHz on all 8 cores; keep in mind that I seem to have a better chip than most so you might have trouble getting that last 100 MHz. It also might help that I have a 280 mm AIO keeping it nice and cool, so that might have a positive affect on the stability of my overclock as well.

I do folding@home calculations 24/7 on my 2060 KO and I have the fan speed set to 100% (about 3300 RPM) so long as the software is running . I've been doing this almost uninterrupted since April 2020 and haven't had any issues. Of course, I probably won't hang onto this GPU for 4 years like you...

The longevity of a pc fan, or even a GPU fan is very long. But if your fan were to run at 100 percent 24/7 bearings life may decrease but chances of that happening is low, that’s unless if the fan is faulty and such, but know that anything can happen and out of the blue it’ll just break randomly.

It’s better have have lower temps on your GPU then a loud fan in some cases. heat can decrease the lifespan of your GPU, and Overclocking will only damage the life span if your GPU as well.

You can customize your fan curve in MSI’s settings .

I have a 240 aio but the pump is making a horrible noise and I think its failing (like a chainsaw it's not the fans) https://youtube.com/shorts/HUQW1U2C0Q4
So I think oc is not a good option until my cooler is fixed my gpu gets at like 75c+ so I might have to change fan curve
