Max Temps and mobile APUs

I have an A6-3400M originally clocked at 1.4 with a turbo to 2.3. These O/C so great and are so overvolted out of the factory that I had no problem reaching 2.3 stable with a 1.1v

Point being, I would like to know opinions on running APUs just under the max temp. I have heard that keeping it 5c below the max temp during gaming and for a few hours is ok. @2.3 I reach about 80-85c during gaming (Max being 100c) and during prime95 it gets to about 94c. So, my question stands as "How much life am I losing by running at these O/Cd temps, and what are opinions regarding such?"

Yes, I've read forums about these chips and have read a lot about O/C in general. Just wanted a general consensus about high temps and the life you lose from your machine.
 
Personally I'd be a little uncomfortable if it was constantly in the 80's but that's just my preference. Just don't run prime95 too often.

Also if it's in a laptop I'd be careful as dust tends to build up in the fan exhaust vents which will eventually form a thick enough layer that even though you can't see it from the outside, will be enough to overheat the inside of your laptop.

Hopefully it should shut down before doing any damage, just keep monitoring the temps.
