I mildly disagree but only because there aren't enough caveats with that statement. I am afraid that he might be trying to only look at one number and say the whole system is OK.
You can get problems with watercooled CPUs that don't crash immediately. One, the surrounding components don't get cooled down well and you burn out the voltage regulators over time (exploding capacitors anyone?). Two, the CPU itself has a shorter lifespan at higher temps. Three, the hard drives get too hot because you aren't removing heat from the interior cavity and you lose your file system in six months.
So, look at all the components and see that they are ALL cooled down sufficiently.
