I know these things get hot, but 90 degrees when it's not even in use is bananas.

Actually bananas are 16-30 degrees for a moderately curved banana Source(scientific article)(NSFW)

That's a lot of power connectors.

Now that you mention it...

There are other components under the heatsink that could be salvaged. The GPU has a small chance it survived as well as some of the memory chips as long as they didn't separate violently or get cracked. The MOSFETs could be of value as well since they tend to be higher quality and in unique package types.

It's useless on its own, but the parts could be of value to a repair shop.

With proper tools even crystal can be salvaged from GPU chip
