I dont think you need to worry about a fan dieing for a long time. But just like any other mechanical device, It can die right now or last 10 years

From what I have seen, they seem to last at least 4-5 years.

If you take care of them and keep them clean it will last longer.

It'll probably last forever as far as you're concerned. __________________ \'There is only one basic human right, and that is to do as you **** well please.

if mine dies when the comp is running chances are that the cpu will fry in 5 seconds or less
