Is there any chance for the Pill reduce even more the cards lifespan?

the real question

FFS here we go again! perpetuating the MYTH that electronics wear out like some machine!

The only thing that is likely to suffer are fans because they are mechanical.
Until you can explain at the material level what changes with age, be quiet.
24/7 operation is not a reason.
Running at 100% is not a reason (unless you're an idiot you will be under clocking and volting to reduce power)
heat cycling is not a reason( for one thing mining gpu aren't cycling, they run at steady temps)

So enough with the irrational paranoia, and anyway you will be upgrading before any gpu's run long enough to wear out

Im lay, im just asking

I run < 60º and only 58% power with my 1080s with the Pill, but the program could me changing some critical feature
IMO you can't say absolute nothing about this

I could be running at 10% power usage, at 10C, this does not mean that an software cannot damage the card, why not?

There is no software that can damage the hardware it runs on. You can crash the software, or the o/s, but no physical damage.
Like when you stall the engine in a car, you have stopped the mechanical process, but nothing physical is broken. You can restart and drive on. No damage caused.
So if you dont have the skills to explain in detail how damage can be done, you dont have the right to state it can.
You just have FUD, and FUD isnt good enough.
