I'm making a homeassistant sever with my raspberry pi and and i'm wondering since it's going to be on 24/7 that the fans going to wear out much faster than intended. I can't imagine that I would need a fan ontop of a heat sink and thermal paste it can't get that hot? I should also note that i'm using an Argon V2 it's one of those heat sink cases that are made for raspberry pis

should be fine, if you don't like how warm it gets a set of small heatsinks for amplifiers will run you a few bucks and takes all of 10 seconds to install.
