I'm sorry but you're talking nonsense.
Silicon semiconductors have max. chip temperatures of about 75 to 125 deg C.
I may be wrong, but I think the maximum for the 486-33 is 85 deg C. The case
temperature depends on the case type (ceramics or plastics) but will always
be lower, approximately 40 to 60 deg C.

Anyway, in PC-486's sold today, the max. temperature will be exceeded in most
cases unless you are using an additional cooling fan *near* the CPU and/or
an ICECAP or s/t like that.
