"regardless of the amount of HEAT, Silicon devices can only withstand so high a temperature before malfunction."
Oh. You mean like I said when I said:
"The key parameter here is die temperature."
and
"As long as you keep die temperature in specified range you are all good. If you take the die temperature above what it is rated by the manufacturer to withstand then there are no guarantees about it's reliability and it's probably going to fail."

I guess it IS worth repeating!
