What is the maximum safe temperature

Solution
Maximum temps shouldn't go past @80°C on any gpu. If running extended high temps, you'd be better off keeping the gpu closer to 70°C tops.

Capacitors can only handle so much heat before starting to fail or fail entirely very quickly, and too many caps in gpus are 95°C rated, not the 105°C rated Japanese solid caps. It's not something you really want to push.

If you are constantly pushing 80°C temps or better, start looking for better cooling or get a stronger gpu that won't work as hard to maintain the same settings as you currently run.
