[ltp] Hot GPU

[Jason Brooks]

Yeah thats pretty hot. As far as overly hot.. That is hard to say
without a device manifest. It should be safe though. All rohs solider
has a melting point well above 282=C2=B0F degrees Fahrenheit. 80=C2=B0C. Th=
is is
the only thing at that temperature that will cause problems unless
there are electrolytic capacitors on the board.. Then this will drop
it to 110=C2=B0F. The other thing is power savings... If it doesn't
throttle the gpu you will have horrible battery life.
