Overclocking

But it'll keep running until the temp drops or just shutdown? just asking because mine instantly turns off whenever it hits 95, maybe because it's an AMD?

What about this? I posted this on Tom's Hardware too and someone answered with this:
Ok, when your CPU boosts it is technically overclocking. Your motherboard will increase voltage, usually higher than needed to a preset amount that is guaranteed to allow it to hit the boost speed. It is possible that you can hit higher speed on this same voltage depending on your individual CPU. Voltage will affect your temps directly and you will be ok at 80c. Typically shutoff is 100-105. Now cinebench is using 100% of your CPU. Gaming what is your CPU usage? If under 100% then your daily temps will be lower. However, it will be difficult to find if your CPU is truly stable because your cooler will not be able to handle realbench or prime 95 for 8 hours on a Max speed that would be ok for daily use. I’d start at 1.3v since you are already hitting 80c. Start at 4.5 ghz and run realbench for an hour and see if it’s stable and how your temps look. Go up in speed till it’s unstable or runs to hot.

Now you are at the decision to try more voltage based on your temperature. If you try more voltage go up small like 1.315 or 1.325 and raise speed using above method. Once you reach a speed and voltage you are happy with you will want to run realbench for 8 hours, you can do this while sleeping or away. If it gets too hot it will restart. If it’s unstable it will stop or restart.

I really would not recommend pushing the CPU to the brink of a toast,

It will shorten the lifespan of the CPU due to big thermal stress.

If it shuts down, my laptop will shutdown when I run Prime95 and Heaven benchmark together

So then what do you recommend I do?

Undervolt it

Underclock it too even though my current overclocking is stable?

Don't underclock,it will decrease performance.
