I've heard that mining can be really intensive for hardware, especially GPUs. I'm wondering if mining will damage or shorten the lifespan of my GPU. Is it true that mining can break my GPU?

If you mine 24 hours per day, your GPU will be subjected to constant stress.

On the other hand, if you only mine occasionally for a few hours daily, the stress on your GPU will be reduced.

Keeping your GPU cool when not in use can further extend its lifespan.
