Hi , I just enabled Quiet mode on the graphics card's pcb via a switch . It stops the fans from spinning if the Gpu temperature is below 55 Degrees celsius. And Performance mode keeps the fans spinning at all times. When I set the gpu to Quiet mode , the idle temperature is 38 Degree celsius & when I set it to Performance mode the idle temperature is 36 degree celsius. So I guess setting the gpu to quiet mode will extend the life of the 3 fans on the GPU of myROG STRIX RTX 2080 08G. They are Axial fans with IP5X Dust certification. I am not sure if they are ball bearinfg or sleave bearing fans , I need info on this & whether setting the gpu to Quiet mode will extend the life of the fans the gpu comes with ?
