Do GPU fans always spin?

Do GPU fans always spin? No, GPU fans don't always spin. The fans will only start spinning once the GPU has reached a certain temperature. Prior to that, the fans will stay put, as the card's heatsink will be enough to provide proper heat alleviation for light(er) loads.

How long can GPU fans last?

Cybernaut. I would imagine that the effect on lifespan is negligible (as in almost zero). The fans/cooling systems on GPUs are designed to last the life of the device.

Why do my GPU fans not spin?

Important: Some GPU fans aren't supposed to spin all the time. These GPUs feature what's called passive cooling or 0 RPM Mode, which leaves the heatsink with responsibility for cooling the GPU when it's not under heavy stress. Most modern GPUs have a certain threshold where the fans should stop spinning.

Is 80 degrees Celsius hot for a GPU?

Anything under 90 degrees should be safe but is awfully high. having your card be at high temperatures like that can negatively alter your card's lifespan. Cards normally throttle in the mid-80's range. I'd recommend getting a program like Afterburner and making your fan spin faster to reduce temperature.
