My Ryzen 9 had a default boost limit of 90 °C, which caused a lot of stress to the rest of the cooling system in my PC but it didn’t seem to have any problem running like that for a few hours. (Fortunately you can crank it down to something a bit more sensible in the BIOS.) My laptop will spike briefly over 100 °C, but only for a second or two. I can see the ‘failure’ temperature being a bit higher, but 200 °C seems unreasonably hot.
Yeah, that’s kind of where my confusion comes from. 93C seems pretty low for a failure temp, my old AMD started throttling at around 90C, but I fully recognize that is pretty hot for a processor and “most” would fall below that. Unless they’re meaning temperature at the transistors most fail at 200C. I can definitely see a temperature sensor reading a few 10s of C different from the actual working interface of transistors, where 90C might mean the transistors are around 150C.
