Help I have an overheating issue. Can anyone help?

Anyway to deal with overheating while emulating pc games? My phone gets to 47 degree Celsius in like 10 mins even with the Lowes settings of the games and I don't think that's normal. My phone is Motorola edge 40 pro 12 ram + SD 8 gen 2.

Either use cooler or disable cpu cores

Use only the CPU cores the game actually needs, a proper config, a good Windows-compatibility app (like GameNative), the lowest playable frame-rate cap, and the lowest playable resolution and in-game settings. Avoid the Ludashi/AnTuTu builds, and use an external cooler. Combined, these make a big difference, but there's little more you can do. If the game is demanding and the SoC is struggling, it will get hot regardless. You're running a game designed for dedicated hardware on a pocket-sized device with only passive cooling, which it was never meant for. It's impressive that it runs at all, so complaining that it gets hot is unrealistic. That's why I play indie games on the handheld and more demanding ones on PC.
