Nitro V15-51-541P Is it fine to set the fan at 5000 rpm constantly?

I own an Acer Nitro V15-51-541P laptop and use it with a Llano V12 external cooler. When I consulted the store where I bought it, they confirmed that it’s safe to run the built-in fans at maximum speed since the system is designed to handle it.

Currently, I’ve been operating my laptop with the CPU fan at around 5000 RPM and the GPU fan at about 4000 RPM, while the Llano V12 runs between 800–1200 RPM to enhance cooling and minimize dust buildup.

Should I continue using this setup, or could running the fans at these speeds cause the hardware to wear out faster?

Hi @John_Rafael04 there's no problem using those RPMs if you need them. Don't worry about wear and tear, as it's a natural occurrence with fans. You won't notice the difference between wear and tear at 1,000 RPM or 5,000 RPM because the fan will last for many years, and a fan failure wouldn't be caused by the RPMs, but by the wear and tear of the materials as a whole.

On the other hand, use those speeds only when necessary. If your computer is "normal" at a given time, set the standard RPMs, around 1,500. If you're using multimedia, you can work at 5,000 RPM or higher for demanding games.
