Optimize system for cooler temperatures
(lemmy.ml)
How does one optimize for better system temperatures on Linux while doing heavy tasks (e.g. gaming) during summer heat.
Are there tools for creating 'gaming/balanced/economy' profiles for example that limit the GPU and CPU depending on the requirements?
Should I find a way to customize fan speeds?
I am trying to find everything I should do from the software perspective before I move on to buying better cooling hardware.
I am currently reaching 100+ celsius temps maximum on both the GPU and CPU while gaming, on idle it's like this:
System info:
Artwork idea : load thermostat.
You can't start a new application if your room is above a temperature threshold.
Extension artwork idea : load credits.
If you do delegate some load to a non digital form, e.g reading a paper book instead of watching a movie, then you "earn" some credits you might use to bypass the load thermostat "when you really need it".
