Interesting points:
1) When doing an ffmpeg encode, CPU goes to 99c. No throttling that I saw in a cool room after 5 minutes, worked at 2.90 GHz, this was the 2.7 GHz model.
2) When running Unigine, it heated up more than ffmpeg, to the point of keys being considerably warm.
3) When using the Powerbit USB-C dongle, video worked! Video did not work on the 13" with this one, or wifi, but wifi/video works. HOWEVER, with the non-Apple USB-C dongle, I was limited to USB 2 speeds on my HDMI capture hardware.
4) Further, when I used a USB to SATA
