Maximus V Gene hottest safe temp?

So let's just say I let my 3570k hit 95c. I know that Intel says the ivy bridge is good until 105c so I'm not worried about damaging the cpu, but what is the hottest temp the board can handle? If I plan to let the cpu hit 95c MAX (and that's my guaranteed max) and stay there for 2-3 hours at a time, is my board safe?

yeah I guess it's not a problem, or mine should have collapsed by now. when I started with this board I benched quite a bit, including 8-24h prime runs with a sandybridge at 5ghz on air, and it and the board are still alive.
