The only game I currently play is Fortnite, and I achieve around 250fps on the maximum setting. With a 60Hz monitor, should I lower my GPU's clock speed to help with cooling and possibly extend its lifespan? I own a 1080p Founder Edition (single fan).

That's quite excessive.
You can lower the clock speed and/or voltage for the GPU.
This helps maintain cooler temperatures and quieter operation.
However, it won't significantly reduce long-term wear.

This helps maintain cooler temperatures and reduces noise.
However, it won't significantly slow down wear.

Turning V-sync on in game settings achieves the same result as lowering the GPU clock if the BIOS supports it, particularly at high performance levels.
