page 8, 90C maximum die temperature for an Athlon XP. After that it's
meltdown, mind you before that temperature is ever reached, other components
in close proximity around the motherboard will die. Ceramic IC's can take
65C quite well, but plastic IC's can only make to 50C. Motherboards rarely
have ceramic IC's, also caps will fail long before then.
