So to get my job done, I capped the max cpu scaling...

It's a 2.6GHz CPU, So I went down to 2.4GHz as maximum. But left anything else to they way it is by default. That still leads to a temperature of 95°C but way slower so when the cpu scaling then kicks in the cpus are cooler way faster as they are not at 2.6GHz when speed gets reduced... but thoses 95°C get hit pretty often, so I lowered it to 2,26GHz and it still hits 95°C... but not that fast.... so I lowered it to 2,13GHz

temperatures: 94 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
speed: 4518
level: auto
cpu MHz : 1199.000
cpu MHz : 1199.000
cpu MHz : 2133.000
cpu MHz : 2133.000

That way the system operates stable at 93-94°C
