500°C would be way above the safe operating temps, but most likely yes.

You think the slop cultists care?

Yes, actually. Data centers are designed to cool down components pretty efficiently. They aren't cooking the RAM at 500°C.

500 might be hyperbole, but they do burn the things pretty hard. Not at like a real data center, but for the slop cultists.
