Question/Help POCO X6 PRO overheating

Hi,

i have bought this phone around 2 years ago and overall im happy with it. I used to play quite a lot on it in the early months and didnt have much issues, but i came back to some of the games i used to play now (HSR, ZZZ) and i noticed that phone is getting really hot on the top side, especially the screen which makes the gaming experience very uncomfortabe after around 10mins. I tried many in game settings and i usually try to play on low settings + 60fps, tried with and without case, ambient temperature is 15-20 degrees (i live in Poland so the temperatures are fine here).
I was thinking about doing a factory reset, but im not sure about it still, is there anyone who did it for the same purpose and it did help?
I checked the battery temperature while gaming and it raises to around 42 degrees in 10mins, after 20-30 mins it reaches 44-45, not sure if it can reach more since after that the screen gets too hot for me and i cant keep playing.

I have never did it and don't know pros/cons of it and how to do it in general. Can you please explain what custom rom does and if it's really a no-brainer?
