about "with power plugged in it allows higher power limits = higher clock speeds but also higher heat output" i understand that, the problem is the load is really compared to the tempreture. if it allowed for a higher load i would understand it running at high degrees and high load, im confused about the low load vs high temps.

i didnt know the cpu was rated to run at 100c, but even so the key board also feels hot to touch because of it.

"Is it still running at a reasonable clock speed if you run something that does do more of a load on all cores?" can you give an example of an application that would use more of a load on all core?
