On the contrary, all the temperature specs I have ever checked are for the "operating environment", which to me means the room. I have never seen one specify "internal case temperature" or anything similar. I haven't tried it, but I bet that the temperature near the motherboard on any of our desktop computers is almost always over the 95 degree spec, so we would be 100% out of compliance if the spec was "internal". If you have systems that are spec'ed out by internal temperature, I would think the operating limit would have to be considerably higher than 95.
