The high temp of the chip may be due to a poor solder connection - I
have reflowed ball grid arrays on graphics card gpu chips which were faulty
due to heat problems caused by stressed solder joints - strangely enough the
stress was caused by high operating temps due to poor heat dissipation like
a faulty fan or heatsink contact - sometimes the fans and vents were
entirely blocked with dust bunnies and gunk.
