A lot of that hardware is junk pretty soon anyway. Graphics cards run at full load 24/7 don’t last very long.

    That's not really accurate at all. A GPU running at full load might wear out its fan, but if it's kept at a consistent temperature it's not going to shorten the life by much. The stress on a GPU generally comes from either being over bolted or from the thermal expansion and shrinkage from an inconsistent temp.
