I am running test right now... but It seems fine so far: reaching Frames of 20000 @ 87'C. Do I have to just keep doing it until it reaches crash...? Not sure what to do from here..haha

Run it until the temperatures stop increasing; usually less than ten minutes, If you don't see any artifacts or distortion on the screen, consider the test passed.

I ran the test for half an hour. It reached 100 C. No artifacts. So, the result is passed?

Passed, yes; problem identified, perhaps. 100C is quite high, even for a GPU. nVidia GPUs can supposedly reach 105C safely, but reports have temperatures in the lower 90s causing problems as well.
I'd say work on bringing those temps down; use a can of air to blow out heat sinks, fans, and air vents.
