I'll report back after more testing, but I doubt temps will be any different during emulation. I just think idle temps and casual use temps will be slightly lower.
I saw two different reviews saying the idle temps were 57C and 41C. That's a big difference. Mine were between that on the high performance plan, worth the cores ranging from 44C to 54C.
EDIT - No frame loss during emulation, and temps are consistent across plans. During maintenance and at idle, the temps seem to be a couple of degrees cooler. Not really any benefit to using the optimized plan except for power savings and theoretical increased CPU longevity.
I think I'm done tweaking and being anal about it. I'm just going to enjoy it. I don't think temperature and noise will be an issue as long as I keep the airways and fan clean, and I think the CPU will be fine running in the low 90s occasionally. It just needs to last until Skylake.
