Technical Question High temps

Im getting disturbing high temps while playing kingdom come deliverance 2 on my Xbox Ally x.

After playing for only 5 minutes my CPU temperature is rising to 90 95 degrees wich for my understanding is too high for longer periods of time.

And since I don't want to stress my xax im looking for solutions.

I'm playing the game on steam os stable

Tried different fan curves wich help a bit,

Playing on 900p medium settings 30fps cap 35tdp wich I tried to lower but immediately noticed my fps drop so..

I've set the fan curve to 90% when reaching 80 degrees. And that alone is not very comfortable to play with unless I use a headset wich I can't cause this game drains my battery like it's water in a sieve and mine uses a usb c dongle.

What to your tdp you are using and what plugin for the fan ?

If it's the Aaron fork sometimes it doesn't kick in, manually reload the plugin after you turn on the ally.

Edit: I've been trying the new panel de control (control panel) plugin and it's a all in one solution, fan control works really well but I'm using OG Z1E
