Thermaltake VGA Cooler Life Expectancy
I'm thinking of replacing the cooler on my BFG Asylum Ti 4200 and heard good things about Thermaltake's aftermarket VGA coolers. The one I looked at (without the CoolMod, found here) has a life expectancy of 50,000 hours. Doing the math a few times, that's less than a year (which has roughly 60,480 hours).

Should I be concerned? I don't want to have to stock up on these things.

And don't tell me my math is wrong...

24hours in a day * 365 days = 8760 hours per year...
50000/8760 = 5.71... so the fan will last nearly 5 3/4 years....

Dude!

Ah, but no matter how soon it is deleted, I shall always know..!!
Besides, I never said that your maths was wrong, just that mine was right!

But on the plus side, you only need to buy 1 now!

**EDIT** And if it makes you feel any better, I once put 5x5=30 in a maths paper...But I was 6! **EDIT**
