yes ! every bit counts !

 

edit : 999 post ? should I leave it there ? or I shall pass the 1000 post mark ?

 

EDIT 2 : it might damage it. over a long time. like a year or 2 at max folding. evenm then the damage would be minimal

i might make it last for less time but i wouldnt say much. but popping off the sidepanel and adding additional fans is good/needed

Depends on how you define "worth it" 

But you have a very solid gpu, if you

want to contribute then that's great :)
