At that temperature, the pc should last as long as you do, or until it has become obsolete, whichever comes first.

Hello and wellcome pincher!

Are you running S@H classic or Boinc?

AFAIK boinc and S@H classic are competing for your CPU, so they would not run sufficient.
If you run just Boinc as should be, there will be no problem. They do not crunch simultanously, but alternately. Depending on your preferences they will cange every (default 60) min.
So the temperature should be the same.

Happy crunching!
