" rel="nofollow - Just a question, would it be ok to have my Wraith Prism CPU fan at max speeds all the time? I don't mind the noise, but it does keep my CPU cooler while gaming. I usually hit about 65c under load with performance mode, and now I have it at 100% all the time and my temps under load are 58c.

I would think that running a fan at max speed will reduce it's lifespan overall, but the thing should be rated to last x number of hours, which should be available printed somewhere. That number will likely be at 100% speed, unless otherwise stated. Why not ask AMD what the expected lifetime of the fan in that cooler is, when running at 100%. Contact them directly, as it's their product, and I doubt many folks here will know. By the way, the fan will be made by a fan manufacturer, and maybe renamed/branded for AMD. AMD very likely do not make any fans themselves. ------------- X370 TaiChi | 1700X P3.10 stock clocks | (2x 16GB) 32GB FlareX 2400MHz. https://valid.x86.fr/ikadaa" rel="nofollow">

apperently coolermaster make all amd fans for them but to disagree a little ,i think fan life will probably be measured at say 40% for life span well they used to be rated/tested at 40% duty myself i would stick to letting it manage itself ,and maybe if i had worries or wanted to help it out fit two 120mm case fans inlet and exhaust ------------- [url=https://valid.x86.fr/jpg250]  [/url]3800X, powercolor reddevil vega64, gskill tridentz3866, taichix370, evga750watt gold |

Thanks all. I think I will leave it at performance mode and look for an AIO cooler from Corsair. I guess 65c under load is not so bad :D ------------- x470 Taichi v5.10 5800X3D (Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B) G.SKILL Flare X Series (8GBx4) 32GB 3200 CL14 970 Evo 1TB+SK Hynix 2TB PNY RTX 4070 Super SoundBlaster AE-7 EVGA 850W Platinum LG WH16NS40 AOC Q24G2A |
