A Linux only option is also fine

I would suggest taking a look at the tool TLP / TLP-UI, for linux systems.

High temps? I'd suggest looking into repasting the CPU/GPU (if it has a dedicated one). Since it might be an elderly machine.

#

Underclocking only partially solves it

You can just keep it on the Balanced power profile

#

or balance_power HWP state (same thing)

#

Or Power Saver

#

They do a good job at keeping CPU clock and wattage low

@hasty knot simply buy a better thermal paste and repaste gpu and cpu

#

you can search for your laptop model as to how to open the laptop and etc

#

it's pretty easy unless your laptop uses liquid metal

You can go into the UEFI setup screen and look for underclocking ig?

#

your pc is pretty new so you should be able to use OS based tools

#

you can look for those

#

it'll work for the GPU but im not sure about the CPU

#

you should also undervolt when underclocking because then it should be using less power

#

@hasty knot btw, you dont have to underclock your hardware at all because the hardware is rated to run at that clock for very long times and it'll last more than you think it will, my pc is from 2011 and it still works

depends on the manufacturer

dusty siren
#

maybe gaming ones expose some settings

frank crypt
#

yeah

dusty siren
#

but general purpose ones, nah

frank crypt
#

you can use apps to undervolt or underclock

#

some manufacturers have their own apps
