Christopher,
I have had my Jetway JBC373F38W since April 2013, has been running 24/7 as one
of my test boxes with no issues. My box runs in a conditioned room temperature
environment, not the extremes you put yours through, good to read your great
results. I use an mSATA SSD for my storage.
At room temperature my lm-sensors f71869a temps are:
--
SYS Temp: +50.0 C (high = +85.0 C, hyst = +81.0 C)
(crit = +100.0 C, hyst = +96.0 C) sensor = transistor
CPU Temp: +52.0 C (high = +70.0 C, hyst = +68.0 C)
(crit = +85.0 C, hyst = +83.0 C) sensor = transistor
--
while the milled aluminum case is very warm to the touch.
So it seems, as long as Jetway's production process properly makes thermal
contact between the CPU/Chipset to the case, all is good.
It probably would make sense to perform a 24-48 hour burn-in to make sure
thermal contact is good before deploying any in the field.
IMHO, for the price ($260 USD) and features (4x NIC, albeit Realtek), the
Jetway JBC373F38W is a great AstLinux hardware platform.
I'm not sure if Jetway has any better "accelerated age testing" than what you
have done, but you can try to ask:

The Lanner LEC-7220-N4 would be a step up (runs cooler, 4x Intel NIC's) but
more expensive and fairly new.
