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

Every else usually gets outdated and replaced before it dies.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? |

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 |

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. |

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

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.

Do you mean they fail first or last longest? In my experience quality fans last long. The only components that last longer are power cables. |

i think fluctuate power supply is the main reason to get damage of mobo in the starting because with problem of electricity everything get lost . here the main problem of only electricity . |

The lifespan of the graphics cards can actually be longer than in a gamer PC if they are in constant environment and at constant operating temperatures.
Only the fans can wear faster because of continous operation.

As long as you are monitoring temperatures of your chips,
the fans and power supply should be the first thing to wear out.
If you have any points where there is bad soldering on a device that may wear out but can be repaired,
as long as you aren't letting the temperatures get so hot it damages the hardware.

Got some 280x's still going for almost 3 years 24/7 temp 80 degrees 70% fan. Fans did stiffen up after about 2 years... I just spray some wd40 in them carefully when it happens and they are good as new again!
Ps. Wd40 is not recommended I belive machine oil is but... I've not had any problems so far... just made sure I didn't use too much so it would leak or get it on the gpu board.

Also... no problems with mobo... I always stick to decent corsair psu's... like to think decent psu helps

I just buy replacement fans off eBay and can disassemble the card, perform the replacement and reassemble the card in about ~10 minutes after some practice.

I've managed to dissasemble windforce fan thx to this post: http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/gpu-fan-repair/It is actually very simple, just helped myself with little flat screwdriver. The thing is that you need to put it just 1-2mm inside the fan because walls of the rotor case that pops out is that thin. It turned out that there was some piece of dirt there, i removed it and fan almost like new, just became noisy. WD40 sticks dust, it can make opposite job in a long term unless fans are working in perfectly clean conditions. |
