[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.

86c is fine. Especially with laptops the bios will not spin up your fan much when it doesn't need to. You could check if there are other fan profiles in bios or override them with fan control software.
