I think this is the way to go

With the cooling out of the picture, the remaining delta is moving the
critical trip point from 110 to 115 degC, which sure, is useful if we
can use all that headroom, but it's also not a huge jump with a huge
amount of noise in the DT..

Could we get a confirmation about the non-IoT kodiak accepted
temperature ranges? Maybe those happen to be too high?
