in case of non-reference GPU's you need at least three high-performance[in CFM's] fans in both front, rear and side covers of you PC cases.
usually 120/140 fans with CFM above 45[really measured/benched, not just "printed on the box"]  is more or less enough for one card.
and no, 85'C for long-tern usage, lead to not-so-fast, but unavoidable GPU degradation.
but thats just personal trade-off between noise/comfort and hardware TTL/reliability. if you value comfort more, fine. if not, try keep temps under 75'C max.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

I've contemplated water cooling my two 6970s.  I had to re position them due to my roomate not liking the sound/heat in the living room so they are back in my room blazing away at 87+'C at 100% fan. (While being super loud) (I have them overclocked so that each card is pushing 410-420 Mhashes/s, I lose a giant chunk of that hash rate (like 50 per card) if I under clock it to safe temps.

Should I continue running at close to 90'C or...

Would a water cooling set up last me for 5 years~+?  I might bite the bullet on the costs if I can re-use the pump/radiator/hoses for a long time (and only have to exchange blocks).  I often move my computers around a lot (lan parties, etc)  Would water cooling inhibit the moving process?
