I find this strange but are you also just sensitive to heat? My old Windows laptop ran an Intel chip basically its whole life at 100C with no issues. I wouldn't worry about it but looks like you found a solution that works for you.

Mac has an alum case and I feel the heat by my hands. Also I sensitive to fans RPM.

Yeah, my Lenovo did, too. I couldn't sit it on my lap without it burning me. And it sounded like a jet engine. Once I got my M1 MBP, its days were numbered.

That's some madness. I spent two days with a cold Mac but today it is boiling. The same CPU load and DAC connection, 70 Celsius. Just report.
