If it heats up to near 100 degrees C, it is in danger of doing an emergency uncontrolled power-down to protect itself from damage.

This is like asking how many oxygen molecules are normal in any given room. Insufficient information.
Run the following command in the Terminal (with return) to see what your current Fan speed, and CPU/GPU temps report:
sudo powermetrics -n1 --samplers smc | grep "(CPU|GPU) die|Fan"
Your password will not echo at the prompt.
try the following command line as an alternative cf. above, copy and paste:
sudo powermetrics -n 1 --samplers smc | egrep -i "FAN|CPU die|GPU die"
