If the Linux P95 is inherently different than the one in Windows (likely I suppose), it's going to be hard to compare across the platforms.

The improved cooler will likely help, but because we have perf limits based on both temps and TDP, it can be hard to predict just how much impact adjusting only one of those two things will have. Depends on which is the limiting factor is for the given test case. But given you can really only affect one of the two easily, might as well try it.

The only way you're likely going to be able to tackle the TDP side ... is thru undervolting the chip. And you're not going to be able to do that without an aftermarket type of motherboard, one that's designed for tweakers/overclockers. And it's very touchy because when you reduce volts, you can reduce stability at higher clocks, so ... you gotta REALLY wanna get into tweaking for it to make sense.
