i have a gtx 660 pny(its like the evga reference design) and on stock fan speeds it reaches 84c on games like far cry 3 on ultra settings .so if i increase the fan speed to 74%(card max by pny) will i damage my gpu fan or will i reduce its lifespan and how much will it effect ?on 84c on stock its 60%

Never heard that one.
The fan can't run any faster than full speed.
Never heard of full speed hurting an electric motor.
They are designed to do full speed.

A speed control can only slow a motor from it's full speed.

Reference cards always run hot
