Yeah, not sure I’d be comfortable with this “fix” personally.

    Holy hell, 95c? I never let my gear get above 70 for fear of reduced service life.

      Yes, 95C max for desktop CPU, 105C for notebook APU, became a default like, 20 years ago or so

      I mean, for recent generations of hardware that’s pretty excessive unless you have put in a considerable amount of cooling. Otherwise, if you’re doing that to a part that’s been rated for 95 degrees for example, which many current CPUs are, you’re most likely just loosing out on value by not having picked a lower tier part that already runs cooler by design in the first place.

      Generally, thermal stress, caused by frequent heating/cooling cycles also causes far more damage to hardware parts than sustained heat.
