Cards used for Mining

Is there really an issue here? I know people don't like ones that have been used for mining but I had a 7990 that had been used for heating - I mean - mining and it was grand. Surely transistor on, transistor off - makes bugger all difference if the life has been reduced from 100 years to 75 years of on/offness. Me…
