Exactly. Since it is colder outside they are working perfect at 55-60 degrees with 70% fan.

Always maintain it in low temperature it will increase its life span.

age of vga cards depends on alot of things. First, do you overclocked it. Second, how hot it is. If your cards run in 94 dC, and you even used it for 3 years, in my oppinion, not live more than 1 year. but we also can't say nothing, if you are lucky, the cards will live longer

Fans failing is not really an issue, since you can always slap even stronger ones to the cooling block. But actual memory chips or gpu failing is. Keep the temps not over 60°C if possible, no voltage ripples (hence good psu) and they will last at least 5 years.

My HD 7950's are running since 2014. 24/7 most of the time. In the beginning a few months to hot (then above 90c, now round 75c) but they are still running.

So, to recapitulate, the most important things are the temperature that should be around 70°C, and then the quality of the PSU ? I'm not mining actually but I'm looking forward to it.

That is right. You need good quality power supply.

I bought my 7970 in early 2013. They are still mining the ZEC happily.
