Hey all,
 
So I recently rebuilt my pc, front an i7 6700k to the i7 9700k(well not too recent, it was last in December).   I upgraded my aio from a top mounted 240mm to a front mounted 360mm and then I bought a 3440x1440 120hz  monitor, a 240hz 1920x1080 and a 1440hz 1920x1080 and watched my idle temps go from 27-33 to 51 on idle.  And from 55 to 65 on load to 65 to 78c on load.
 
I never played with the fan speeds unless i Hit above 75c.  I recently set an aggressive fan curse.  And now my idle temps are back to 27-33c and load temps(depending on game and monitor) are 55 to 70c  Much more like norm.  
 
However on idle, all 3 fans are at 42%
 
On load fans go up to 60 or 70%  Will this harm life spam running fans between 42 % 75% most of the day every day (18 plus hours a day)
 
 
CPU and other stuff are fine
 

 
 
The case is a P400A and I have about an index fingers space from glass to gpu
 

 
 
My question is, how long will my fans last at this pace on the gpu?  Thx

Well, now that you have all that warm air as intake that used to be cool intake air, your GPU temps are higher. Probably would have been better to stick with the AIO as exhaust on the top. As long as you keep your system clean, running the fans in the range is not going to affect their lifespan. Also, replacement fans are cheap online.

You could always top mount a compatible AiO watercooler and use a NZXT Kraken G10/G12 to mount the AiO to your 1080, removing the stock fans from the picture.

I've used both a 140mm and 280mm on a 1080, 1080 Ti, and 2080 Super to great effect (the 30 series cards don't work - different hole pattern).

Just my 2 cents.

Not possible.  The p400a doesnt support a 360mm aio on top and a 240mm cant keep my 9700k cool at 5Ghz.   It rarely goes over 40c  With a 240 top mounted aio it was reaching 70to 84c.   Not critical, but not acceptable
 
Any chance you can link some fans?  I plan to keep the 1080ti until it dies completely, since I dont 4k game just yet, and its not even 3 years old.  If I get a new case in the future Ill look for a top mount.  Thx for the reply.

74 to 84C would mean a decent quality 240 could keep you at 60C easy. 40C under load on your CPU is pointless if your GPU temps are causing you to drop clocks.  Too my way of thinking, warn air as an intake is always a bad idea. I'd buy another case prior to using that substandard arrangement.

I never installed a AIO on a gpu and I fear goofing up the only one I have, I cant afford to replace it if I fudge it and there are no pc shops that do that stuff for over 200 miles in all directions of me

The I7 9700K sits at about 40 to 45c at 4.7Ghz when gaming.  If I overclock to 5.1Ghz it will hit 50 to 65c.  With a 240mm aio I have no overhead to OC the cpu.  
 
 
But from what I am gathering so far, my GPU seems to be working just fine and worst case, replace fans or grow a pair, and install an aio or save for a new one lol.
 
 
Also I have had no issues with my GPU clock speeds dropping that I am aware of.   I am just always monitoring my temps, and when I notice changes I immediately investigate the cause, as I try to get as much life out of them as possible.
