[

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

vrms can hit 100+ *C

anyway i have run various cards for years 24/7/365 at folding and mining, only lost a couple fans. but i do keep them clean and cool(ish).

you forget other parts on the card that cant handle these temp for a long time without being affect. The cards are built to run @70C, its a fact. Now if you want to go ahead and run them @85C its your business.

hey i run mine in the mid 60s on gpus, and my evga 1070tis/sapphires 390s can tell vrm temps too (mid 50s to mid 60s *C). ill take me chances Wink

but some cards had stupid hot vrms and right next to cheap(ish) caps, i agree with that.. dont recall which models through, read about it in reviews at anandtech i believe. no idea how they fared on long term compute usage.

anandtech said that for zotac amp extreme core and that it have bad cooling for vrms(100C)but i havent noticed any problems with it so far,got 5 of them working 24/7 and they are beasts.So far there aint many reports about those cards needed to be rma because of it
