Lets review what has been said between our exchange of comments.
I said,
"And going over 100c is not the end of the line. In most instances the test will be stopped. And going over 80c in a stress test with a few higher spikes is not going to harm or lesson the life of the computer. A stress test is only one or two days in the overall life of the computer."
I suppose this a better way to say this.
When stress testing, its best to keep the temps under 80c and if it spikes over, some damage may occur, how much we don't know. When spiking to 100c, the PC normally will be shut down.
And I suppose you could have answered in a similar manner instead of the following.
and I also must say as you being an engineer I find your suggestion that 'heat' when the temp approaches and surpasses limits which exceed the calculated safe standard operation temp for any electronic device/component by the manufacture, and that it will not shorten its rated life if prolonged means you like to break the laws of physics which are applied to such devices by the engineering firm that designed the device or component with a rated component life value and who place specific temp and voltage limits on their product for a reason.
