[SOLVED] NH-D15 100% - How long will it last?

[guymarshall]

I recently upgraded the cooler for my FX-8350 from the leafblower H110i GTX to the silent NH-D15, and I set the cooler to 100% in the BIOS and I can barely hear it still!

Will my cooler be significantly damaged if I only have it at 100% when my PC is on? There are no drawbacks because the cooling is phenomenal and the sound is inaudible, the only thing I am wondering about is durability. I usually use my PC from 12:00 to 20:00 weekends and barely any at weekdays.

Thanks in advance

Should last a long time as long as you keep the fans clean. Mine has been running for many years on my Asrock Z77 Exreme4 with an overclocked 3570k @4.4ghz. My youngest son now owns it , still running strong.

The fans are the only parts that would wear out, and those, like the rest of the cooler are warrantied for 6 years.

Thank you for the quick reply! I'll keep it at 100% and enjoy the enhanced cooling!!

Wow 6 years?? Must mean they are pretty durable!
