For extremely high temperatures in of over 2.7GK required for silicon fusion for example it could have been several orders of magnitudes greater.

An uranium nucleus in solar core travels at around 36km/s and in a exploding star at 3GK is around 500km/s and the Lorentz factor is around 1.0000015. Reaching the effects of gravitational time dilation as you say but the heavier the star is the more gravitational time dilation it gets. Thanks for your explanation.
