What is "too high", and what is "some machines" ? Would be great if you can be more specific.

fix ? Also, I am not entirely sure I understand what exactly you are fixing here.

I am not sure I understand what this change is expected to accomplish. Please explain.

I8K_MAX_TEMP is, at least in theory, a valid temperature, so this should be "<=".
It would be important to understand what the "too high" temperature is to possibly be able to distinguish it from the buggy temperature that the code is trying to fix.
Thanks, Guenter
