What is the normal clock rate?

The base clock for this processor is 3.1GHz, with a boost clock of 3.3GHz (It does this automatically)

Overclocking a CPU will increase its heat output when under full load. For CPUs that support frequency scaling, the frequency will automatically turn down some to conserve power and create less heat when you aren't doing much, then scale back up and even boost when you need to do more processing.

So yes, generally a higher clock will result in more heat (but such a comparison enters a gray area when comparing between two different CPUs. To compare between CPUs you need to start looking at TDP)

This was probably a bit more information than you asked for, but I hope it helps!
