Default is 100% fan speed bad?
I am wondering if 100 percent for fan speed will kill my fan faster than normal speed

Its going to stress your ball bearing more and eventually it would cause you fan to fail much quicker.

Yes, but don't worry about it. It will cause more wear and tear thanks to the additional rotations, but it will be minuscule.

No, the life span on your fan calculated when your fan is at max. So your fine. Hell most fans have well between 10000 and 50000 hours

First why is it at 100%? Manually set? System sensors dictate? Either way if greater cooling is achieved and greater cooling is achieved that trumps all and the question of will it wear fan out faster is no longer primary. Keeping the components cooler with in reason is likely more cost effective.

On to fans and their mechanics. Yes faster spinning in theory could cause greater rate of failure vs slower. But also consider repeated starts and stops or even variations could cause greater stress.

What is the circumstance that causes you to even ask this question?
