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:
Replace your thermal paste with ptm or some other ptm like.
The paste becomes crap over time.
It may be worth your time to use a ptm alike and new thermal pads on your 7600 as well, or pay a shop to do that.
Check that air is actually getting to your components. It’s easy for fan screens to get plugged up and for some reason people used to not put enough fans in their cases.
Those msi b450 motherboards have annoying bioses so check if there some ridiculous fan curve mess turned on or misconfigured.
I call else fails, noc-tua, blow on that thing.
