E@H CPU runs at +25 deg F

(moderation:
Seven caps were fried on my MB recently for which the heat was drawn into question. After the repairs were made I noticed the temperature of the MB/CPU without E@H running. The difference is substantial:
w/o E@H: 63/83 deg F
w/ E@H: 92/108 deg F
My MB fried when the temperature hit 121 deg F. I later realized that I was the frog in the slowly heated pot of water. It was 108 at the beginning, but I did not pay attention to this slow rise until it was too late. The machine was running 24/7 at this increase (120 deg F) for years.
Is the temperature, of 108 deg F, normal for E@H?
What temperature should I expect for running E@H?
Would installing a water cooling system lower the temperature?
Thanks in advance,

Hi!
The E@H apps, especially the S5R5 app, are optimized for performance which means they will try to squeeze the max out of your CPU , and this means heat.
However, 121 degrees F (or 49 degrees Celsius) is close to the max operating temperature for hard disks, and should still be ok for the MB. If the MB failure was indeed caused by heat, it must have been at higher temperatures. Or....your caps failed because of something other than heat, e.g. "old age" or excessive current.
The 108 degrees F are completely ok. I mean this is the max ambient air temperature in some climate zones here on Earth, that will not harm an MB.
