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
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.
