Back to temperature. See:

=
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/frequency-m=
anagement.md

It indicates that 85C is the maximum temperature,
though lower figures can be set. It also reports
that a form of throttling starts at 80C by default.

The RPi3B+ also has a soft limit that changes the 1.4GHz
to 1.2 Ghz and the operating voltage is slightly reduced:
configurable temp_soft_limit but by default 60C.

For the RPi4B, "there is currently no soft limit defined".
