Just so this is clear,

My controller did not blow up because of temperature. It blew up because of 2 reasons. The main reason is the case came lose and shorted the controller out stressing the fets and taking out the weakest ones. After that, I decided to not save it and finish off the rest of the fets.

It was actually pretty low temperature when this occurred.
