So its summer now and my room gets pretty warm, my EVGA GTX 970 SC is running with a average temperature of 72-75C. Using MSI afterburner I have set a custom fan curve, when in the 70s the fan speed is at 26% or about 1200-1300 rpm.

My questions are:
Are these temperatures high?
And are the fans going at a speed high enough to wear out the bearings?
 
Solution
not high, i'd be happy up to the low 80's. GPU fans run fast, so no problem there they are designed for it. (not to say they won't fail, but you are not using it abnormally)
