[FIXED] Wine heat issues (ChromeOS) (ani.social)

When playing any windows game the PC heats up to 90 no matter what it is doing. This doesnt happen a lot on other type of games like Wii or GC games (dolphin flatpak). Is there any solution or do I really need to find out how to disable TurboBoost?

FIXED: I dropped ChromeOS and switched to Fedora. It doesn't heat crazy anymore.

If you want an explanation of why this happens with most games:

ChromeOS has LXC Containers support natively, and they use them. Inside a virtual machine. Yes. Host > VM > LXC > Your game.

Screenshot showing 2 windows: one is Deltarune, an RPG game; the other is Diagnostics, a program to check CPU usage, temp, speed, etc.

90C is fine, more important is the core speed and if it's throttling heavily which will impact performance.

If it's been several years it's also possible the thermal paste is not working as well anymore and needs to be replaced.
