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:

    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”.
