Pros:

Better cooling. (Although often 100% fan is overkill)

 

Cons:

More noise.

Accelerated wear of fan.

Faster dust build up.

If you're interested in a product please download and read the manual first.

Don't forget to tag or quote in your reply if you want me to know you've answered or have another question.

You can get fans that are rated for continuous operation. Arctic Cooling makes some if you are able to swap on your cooler. Otherwise it is as @keskparane says

To RGB, or not to RGB? That is the question.

For the pc in general? no, for the fan? maybe.. it does wear more. But it can take years before it could wear out. Also depends on how much you use the pc. Also could give more dust in your case... but whatever right

Normally the fan spins up and down according to your CPU temperature. I'd just leave it like that.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
