GPU Temps

My own fault for not getting a Gigabyte Sniper!

No, it is the increase current, heat was a non-issue, is why LN2 is LN2, no matter how cold parts are.

witch generates more heat, look, do this, keep your fan speed at a stable RPM, and ramp up the voltage, run a benchmark and it will heat up more than if it wasn't Over volted

Aren't AMD and Nvidia gpus made from same materials, why wouldn't nvidia gpu handle same temps as amd?

 

Also, nvidi site says it's max temp is 95c and gtx 480 was fine at even +95c

they say that because they don't expect you to use your card for a long run, for 4~6months yes, but after that the performance will start dropping and the internal circuits will start to fade, plus for the 480 witch is a Fermi Based it was fine for that architecture, but for what you're using, a Kepler Based, these are designed to run on much less power and much cooler than Fermi, so hitting 92C°, For the long Run as you asked, is not safe

You are correct, and i agree with your point, up to where you claim heat kills the card. It doesnt. Voltage does, due to more electrons moving through transistors. And since modern transistors are so small, they get slowly destroyed when current is let through them. Now at low voltage, those transistors may be fine for X number cycles, but when you increase the voltage, they degrade faster so they are only good for
