Yes it does. The attached screenshot is with all apps closed over a couple of minutes.

random question.. Does your brightness and sound work?

Installed all the kexts to /L/E (via terminal) and rebuilt kextcache (sudo kextcache -i /).

I'm still running hot.

Your kextcache output proves kexts are not installed correctly.
All kexts you need must be installed to the system volume.

Hint: kextcache output proves FakeSMC.kext is not installed.

I didn't check anything else.

Sorry, I need a little hand holding. I deleted all of the kexts I installed in /Library/Extensions then sudo kextcache -i / Then reinstalled them, adding FakeSMC.kext but I am still seeing the same output from sudo kextcache -i /

So I am able to reproduce your Overheating and high cpu condition, but only after wake from sleep. If I do a fresh reboot it is fine until I put the system to sleep. Did you run your benchmarks on a clean boot or after it had been put to sleep?

Clean boot.
