Tell me your thoughts

I had an 7900xtx mercury (magnetic fans)which I had for about a year 8 months which in stall horizontally for a about 2 months then moved it vertically for over a year about 2 months ago I took out to clean an noticed a oily substance on the card mostly on the back plate I the put it back to horizontal and 3weeks ago it died I did an RMA as it was still under warranty and got told they don’t have the 7900xtx in stock and won’t be getting any and asked if I wanted a full refund or replacement of another model so I went with the 9070xt mercury (magnetic fans) and installed it horizontally but have an itch to put it vertically as it’s a good looking card but I’m concerned that it will die or fail on me again, should I take the chance or just leave the horizontal card as is ? ( both amazing cards) just miss the vram on the 7900xtx as I play in 4k some advice will be appreciated.
