I own a GTX 1080 FE with cooling that works well and I'm using EVGA precision x OC. My power and temperature limits are at their maximums. I've boosted the core clock speed by 200 and haven't adjusted memory clock speeds yet. I've also increased overvoltage by 5%. Temperatures on reach around 70 degrees. Is this safe and how long can my performance last?

Keep your computer in a well-ventilated area with good airflow. Monitor the temperature; it's safe if it stays below 75 degrees, and you should have a warranty lasting about three years. 😉

It is "safe."
No one can provide a specific number.
The 70C performs well under load.
The component that typically fails first is the power circle.
Overclocking and overvolting will make it much hotter.
My last card suffered this issue after six years of use.

This shouldn't reduce lifespan at all. Also, conduct thorough testing to verify stability, as I'm uncertain about this.

Yes, it should last two years. Stability does influence GPU lifespan.
