> Once they hit temperatures of 200 degrees Celsius, most tend to fail.
Is there a unit conversion error here? Or do I massively misunderstand what "most" means?
200 F is 93 C so I'm going to guess unit conversion

F scale doing what it does best.

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.

Too bad that most CPUs can run at up to 100°C and some even a bit higher. I think I read so.ewhere 125°C fpr some special OC cpu chips
