Apologies in advance since I imagine this has been covered before.  Basic simple question.

What temp range is safe to run the 1080ti at long term without seriously degrading the longevity of the GPU?

Got my e-bill today and it wasn't as bad as expected.  So am going to push TDP up and get more hash - while also getting more heat.
It's a difficult question to answer. I suggest you watch Gamers Nexus latest Q&A video on youtube, he addresses this point specifically. The general understanding is, as long as your card is not temp throttling, you should be fine. What's most likely to pop are capacitors. They are rated between 5000 and 10000 hours usually.

the capacitors on these cards are rated for 90 000 hours(10 years) @70c.
According to Steve Burke at Gamers Nexus you're looking at 5000 or 10000 hours @ 105C.
Not saying it is gospel, just parroting what he says.

For everyone's benefit and enjoyment...

Are there really people running their GPU's at 105C?
I dont believe so, to much throttle to run it at that temp
