Mining with a msi gtx970 4g gaming

[Tboske]

So i've been mining for a couple of days, 5 hours a day. My gtx 970 is mining ethereum and has an average temperature of 65°c and the fans are hanging around 1500rpm or 70%. I have the gpu for almost 2 years and has always been used for gaming.

Im planning to let my gpu also mine over night (i think max 10 hours).

Will this decrease my gpu's lifespan significantly or will i still be able to use it for 1 more year or even more?

I think it depends on if and how much you overclock it when you are mining. Don't overclock too much and it should last you. The more you overclock, the more likely the silicon is to become damaged.
