I stand corrected. Though I don't understand how a base 10 measurement has any relation to a base 12 degree.

What ARE you talking about?

 

90°C is on the high end of video card temperatures, but it is actually normal for really powerful GPUs.  Silicon can survive 100°C if it isn't for prolonged periods, I think that's the temperature at which some old Pentiums would shut themselves down.

The issue is that 90 Celsius (sorry, my mobile phone doesn't have "degree" mark in it) is the gap between the temperature of it's evinronment. So, the article predicted, that when it's very hot and room temperature can climb up to 35 Celsius, that means the graphics LSI may reach temperature of 125 Celsius. And to compare with, they desinfect (did i spell it correctly) the hospital instruments in a steam with temperature of 120 Celsius.
