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:
Yes.

For CPU: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CPU_frequency_scaling#Configuring_frequency_boosting
The default KDE power saver profile also disables turbo, and is configurable exactly like you asked.
But, like others said, we can’t really help without any hardware info.
