So I was recently reading up on Crypto-Currency and because I recently built my first desktop (Gigabyte 1070, 16gb of ram, i5 6600k) I figured it would be a good idea to mine ethereum while I am away at class. However I was wondering if running if for long periods of time would lead to any lasting damage. It usually sits around 49 degrees, with the fans spinning at 3150rpm (or 75% max speed). Any advice would be great, thanks!

what gpu?

-

you can probably keep it up until ~70c.

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.
