This. On my Linux laptop, I lowered the CPU frequency while converting videos.

Clean the fan AND cap your CPU.

Use Spotify and buy a new laptop

to postpone cleaning dust out of my machine last time it started getting too hot, i just wrote a script which lowered the frequency when it got too hot

>>58054803
Clean the fan. Unless your laptop was poorly designed or you're placing it on a surface that helps retain heat, then it shouldn't be overheating.

here's one method

while true; do if [ $(cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.3/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input) -gt 55000 ]; then pkill -STOP ffmpeg; else; pkill -CONT ffmpeg; fi; sleep 1; done

(change the temperature file path and "ffmpeg" to suit)

this just checks to see if the temp is over 55C, and "pauses" ffmpeg if it's over, and "continues" if it's under
it should effectively cause the cpu to hover around that temperature

he's trying to cool it down, not melt it

Do them one at a time
