It’s normal for any CPU under load with correctly sized cooling to be just under its maximum temperature, which is often 100.

Electromigration is a real problem. "Barely enough" is not a synonym for "correctly sized".
I might not hit problems within the lifetime of the device, but it's a pretty tight margin of error. If I can roughly roughly cut aging in half by dropping 10C, then I want to do that 2-4 times.

GPUs are quite easy to repaste. Just order the correct replacement thermal pads in advance and the whole thing is easy.

Yeah I'm optimistic. Just anxious cause paying for a new 24gb nvidia card is something I could do without in this GPU market
Found a yt that for my precise card being repadded though so should be ok
>[After] Max CPU temperature: 96°C
What? Is that normal for macs?
Vaguely unrelated I'm only buying thermal grizzly paste in future...that factory tour they did was super impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsIk_mMrt2w
