And RV770 GPU is rated 126ºC. Many Core 2s are 105ºC.
Btw, "VRM" is a terribly vague term. It doesn't mean any specific component exactly. What you appear to refer to is the Vitec/Pulse inductor-pack that has a
maximum operating temperature of 125ºC. They wont break immediately above 125ºC - their performance simply goes down the drain. The
actual voltage converters the temperature readings in GPU-Z come from are the little dark grey rectangular chips and
their max operating temp is NDA protected data so one would be well advised to keep them
way below 100ºC...
