throttle THEN shutdown itself before taking damage*

But yeah, you should avoid thermal throttling

There's is a shutdown threshold, but it's unlikely to get that high if it's also throttling. Perhaps if you had a complete fan failure, or the heatsink fell off.

Throttling is bad and you should want to avoid it, but having it happen isn't going to cause damage, only lost frames.
