High 70Cs are the most id have on a card mining since as heat goes up its going to use more power and have a shorter life.

100C is way to much get it down and youll see the Mhash go up since it wont be slowing its self to prevent damage.

Too hot.

The rest are OK in my opinion, but 100C sustained temps are not so great.

Mine all range in the high 70 - low 80C range and I'm comfortable with that.

Consider that most cards will thermal throttle at ~110C, and you can see how that might be a little too warm.
