going over 90c will kill your card eventually most people try to stay under 80c

Watercooling all the way. Mine don't go above 53.
Same. Although I think its pretty expensive to create a mining rig with watercooling since every dollar spent counts.

From what I've heard 110 is quite high for a GPU, however many of these things will have internal things that will shut them off should they get too hot. Mine personally generally stays around 70 and if I'm using it more will go to 95 but I wouldn't worry.

Hi,

I have an HD5870 which VRMs do not usually go under 80ºC unless unplugged. Meaning even with high under-clocking that is the temp.

This guy (http://www.evga.com/forumsarchive/printable.asp?m=100901944) does not recommend that temperature, he says:

30 to 68*C -> Nice and stable.
69 to 72*C -> VERY MILD RISK of: Unstable Machine Errors in F@H with some WUs
73 to 75*C -> MILD RISK of: Unstable Machine Errors in F@H with some WUs , sluggish desktop performance, and “Display Driver Stopped Responding” errors.
76 to 79*C -> MODERATE RISK of: Unstable Machine Errors in F@H with ALL WUs, sluggish desktop performance, and “Display Driver Stopped Responding” errors.
80 to 89*C -> HIGH RISK of: Unstable Machine Errors in F@H with ALL WUs, sluggish desktop performance, and “Display Driver Stopped Responding” errors.  MILD RISK of BSOD.
90 to 95*C -> MODERATE RISK of BSOD

If I mine a full speed (stock speed, not overclocking) the VRMs go up to 110ºC +.

Is that my VRMs are faulty or this guy is bananas? Any other temps of your GPU's VRMs?

Thanks
