As the tile says..

In order to increase the air cooling of my case, i'd like to put the GPU fans to max.

case = HAF 932

However in my very old PC, the GPU fans once melted as i set them on max speed, so i'm quite cautious regarding this xD

Anyways, i'm not scared of the noise, but currently the GPU fan speeds are being controlled by MSI afterburner software..

if i were to set the fan speed to "100" would it wear out my GPU fans?

If you wear ear protection I imagine it would be :lol:.

No reason I can think of why you cant just run the fans 100%, though it will be quite loud.
I suggest making a custom fan profile in something like Afterburner, play around with that until you get a fan curve that you like.
