    Yeah I mean I have military grade capacitors, MOSFETs and chokes on my sabertoothX99 and they stated the lifespan is only 10,000 hours (416 days...) at a temp of 75-125C, Mine never go above 40C but still that's not a very long lifespan for "military" spec components lol. Oh well hopefully keep my system a cool as possible will give me at least 3 years on the motherboard's lifespan.

    If it's not broke, don't fix it in a production environment. If it breaks, replace it with the same thing if it's lasted that long.
     
    My only observation is they should of clear plastic bagged the hardware to keep out all the environmental contaminants.

    They don't make machines like they used to. Strong metal is now flimsy plastic.
