For example, in DNA, would the C-G bonds take longer to break down than the A-T bonds, since the C-G have 3 hydrogen bonds each and the A-T only have 2. Thanks!

Yes

Hydrogen bonds are the strongest intermolecular interaction

The stronger the intermolecular interaction, the higher the boiling point.

EDIT*
and ur correct about ur DNA analogy, the 3 hydrogen bonds between the C and the G do make it harder to break down.

Roughly speaking, yes.
