1200 degrees is not a problem at all. We all see temps of that or even higher. if you ever put a programmmer on it you will see the 1400 degree range.

In the lab we only run 740 degrees C and 760 is where the metallurgy starts changing, so I wouldn't run it past 1400. These numbers are also over long periods of time, quick short bursts above these temps are not going to hurt anything.
