I recently bought a EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 FTW3 ULTRA and it has the Normal and OC bios switch on it.  I know the OC just has a more aggressive fan curve and the fans always run.  My question is, is it safe to have the fans run all the time or will it make the life of fans less.

    Running the fans 24/7 will decrease their lifespan, but I wouldn’t worry about it as the fans are easily replaceable.
