Fans can actually last much longer if you get the correct type of bearing for the orientation you need them for. I am using Scythe Gentle Typhoon fans for my regular 24/7 machine. The rated lifetime for Gentle Typhoon is 350k hours.

Bad (cheap) power supplies. They often damage mobos too.

All the parts have life time in hours.

The fans have life time differing 15.000 hours to 36.000 hours.

The risers must be must be replaced, the life time is 500 days at average.

Motherboards lasts nearly 2 years.

The GPUs also have 2 years time if overclocked.

No problem with CPUs and/or rams so far.

The motherboard last more than 3 years in my case. The longest GPU lasted about 3 years too. They are still working well.

Fans.. 2 years of 24/7 at 70% and bye bye!!

First they rattle, then they stop.



i like to set them at 50% at most, it's better to create a proper cooling system than just pushing fans at 100% like many do

Every else usually gets outdated and replaced before it dies.

Thank you

I know every piece of hardware is different as in one might die tomorrow, one might never die, however: do you have a rough time before I may run into those issues?

In your experience;

What is the average life of a dedicated mining rig that is on 24/7?

Which components are likely to fail first, and roughly when?

Thank you
