Hello,

If I am mining with my GPU 24/7 (R9 280x), at a pretty much constant temp of 65C, and have my fans running around 2000-2500 RPM will it decrease the lifespan of my GPU? How long till it might stop working?

Would water cooling it help my GPU "live longer" by keeping it at low temperatures?

How long has your GPU been running 24/7?

Thank you.
If you keep your GPU at 65C, it shouldn't shorten it's lifetime at all. However, it might decrease the life of the fans on the GPU. I used to run a 7850 24/7 and after a year or so one of the fans began to rattle. You might want to keep that in mind.
