GPUs, CPUs, and other devices are designed to run hot. nVidia chips throttle themselves at around 107C, and I think ATI is similar.
Extreme heat isn't great for GPUs, but keep them under 90-95C and they should last a good long while. If anything, it's better to keep them at a constant temperature than constantly going up & down.
The design life is long enough that even if you do shorten it's life, you'll replace it long before it dies.
