Wine heat issues (europe.pub)

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?

Using battery saver disables turbo boost, so it never goes to 3Ghz, which means it doesnt go to 90c that quickly anymore. Thanks for making me remember battery saver exists!
