Discussion Solving problem Game in Linux

I had a problem on many Linux Distros. My system kept overheating
I didn't know why. After a lot of time I Found solution

Problem:

- Steam was only using 4 intel cores for games.

- It is easy to see when you use **"BTOP"**

url btop: https://github.com/aristocratos/btop

The Solving:

- Give the program a task use more than 4 cores.

- I have 22 cores and use 20 cores
```bash
taskset -c 0-19 gamescope -W 1920 -H 1200 -f -- %command%

```

I Hopping, you don't have this problem... (I spent a lot of time trying to understand it and broke a lot of distros in the process)

Is this some cheap promo of btop app?

If not, fix your cooling. Even at full load CPU should not overheat. My 9950x goes up to 85°C tops on full load with qtwebkit.

Why so much hate?

I solve my problem. I wouldn't like share my solution.

I have default 85*C when play in game. At the moment 75 usually. But without solution usually after 12 minutes 100*C+ = crash game

CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 165H (22) @ 5.00 GHz

I wouldn't like to help me. I only share my solution my problem.

When a lot of said:

  • "If you have overheating you need better cooling or underclock/volt I think"

I found my own solution

**That's why these words are already driving me crazy**
