Life span

Gpu - custom vs fe ( IN TERMS OF LIFE SPAN)??

custom have lower life span compare to fe??

[Mick Naughty]

That’s an impossible question to asnwer. A million variables. They are the same. Again, not sure what lifespan has to do with the idea of getting a card. Do you need it to last 20 years or something?

Why would you think that?

 

May want to keep all these in one thread, so people can understand your thought process better to help you.

The GPU is the same on a reference/FE card vs. something like a custom Gigabyte/Asus/EVGA, etc. card. The GPU being the chip.

The entire videocard is the entire assembly, with fans and such.. Those don't seem to last any shorter whether it is an FE or aftermarket card.

 

Of course I am not someone who can look 10 years in the future to verify that claim.

Any given computer component should be able to last for decades before failing.

 

Whether or not something fails depends on many variables, with these being the main ones:

-environment (temperature and humidity)

-quality of the component itself

-how well it is cooled

-overclocking

 

I have a 26 year old PC kicking around that runs like day one, if that gives you any indication. Modern parts should, in theory, last even longer.

Too many variables to control and test to determine how long it would run, the chance of you spilling a drink into your PC and frying it, dropping it, power surge, theres too many to list.

Really the only thing we can recommend is the quality of the cooling fans on the card. The better the bearing, the longer they are likely to last.

 

If you want reliability, avoid sleeve bearing fans on the gpu. Those are the lowest quality bearing and the most commonly used. They still last a while but they'll fail earlier than the others. Try and look at the specs for those and make sure you're at least getting ball-bearing fans on your gpu.

 

Other than that, there's not much else you can do.

Bdw I just read ur system specs and I find it quite awesome
