I have been mining Siacoin with my GTX1070 for a couple days with very few breaks. Is it bad to run my GPU 24/7?

Stays cool around 47C but i occasionally get up to 52C, i give it a break for a couple hours per day.

I run gpus 100 days in a row zero issues

turning it on and off is worse then 24/7/365   assuming that the gear is under 75c  there is no reason to turn it off and give it a breather

Most computer parts will last longer if you turn them on and leave them on.  Shutting them down and powering them on causes changes in temperature, which over time can cause failures in solder points.  Like most things the solder and parts expand when heated and contract when cooled.  This repeated over a longer period is probably one of the biggest killers of electronics.  Keeping them spun up and warm will reduce the stress on them, even when running at 100%.

You know giving it breaks is worse for the card than running 24/7 right? Also 52C isn't bad at all

Newer parts, anything from the last twenty years is best just left running.  It is like a car in a way.  You would be better just driving down the road than hitting the gas to full, backing off and shutting the car off, then repeating the process.

Find and set up the best environment and then let it be.  Letting the monitors or monitors go to standby and hibernate, without any hibernation in the machine itself may give you a few extra hours of life in the end, but not that much.  Just get things perfect and let them be.
