Azure Percept DK Temperature

After leaving the Percept DK running for about 5 hours, I ssh'd into the dev kit and ran the following command:

'cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp'

The output for this command is '57000'
Is this 57.000 Celcius? If not, how can I monitor the overall temperature of the DK?

Also I would like to know what the max temp is before throttle and what kind of cooling protocols/options are put in place by Microsoft to prevent the dev kit from overheating.

PS: Will this need any sort of casing since its circuit boards are exposed? How will dust/moisture/humid environment affect its performance?

@Shayan-1047 - here is some more information about the DK temperature and throttling:

The value ‘57000’ means 57 degree C. It’s the SoC temperature.

The software design is:

When SoC temperature exceeds 80 degree C, starts throttling.

When SoC temperature exceeds 90 degree C, shuts down the system.

Thanks!
