And you confirm your device is really definitively damaged with such cooling ?!
It is all the more surprising as GPU is the main contributor to the overheating issue and that core temperatures I was able to observe while running XBMC are very similar to the ones observed during GPU benchmarks...
Were the kernel logs saved ? I wonder whether the thermal protection behaves correctly (on my own device the temperature drops by 10°C almost immediately when the core temp reaches 90°C and the protection triggers...)
