Hello Dudes, I have a good question about all motherboard caps but especially the Asrock Z97 OC Formula. It says the 12K Platinum Caps have 12000 Hours Lifespam that means 500 Days could someone explain it ? It can't be only 12000 hours / 500 Days !!! Why ?

"12K means that the cap is guaranteed to operate for at least 12,000 hours at 50c, which is a much higher temp than your board will ever see. Running at a normal 30c or less, the lifespan is many times the 12,000 hours quoted."
