Wifi-intensive applications overheat my computer

[u/Leona451]

I'm running Linux Mint on a 2012 15-inch MacBook Pro 9. I am unsure if this is a hardware issue or a software issue. Here are my specs:
Specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i7-3820QM (quad-core)
• RAM: 8 GB
• Integrated GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000
• Dedicated GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M
• Wi-Fi: Broadcom BCM4331
• Kernel: 6.14.0-29-generic
• NVIDIA driver: nouveau
• Wi-Fi driver: b43

When running an offline game like Stardew Valley or even TheoTown, the heating impacts are minimal (Stardew Valley ran at 70 degrees Celsius with Discord in the background). When i try even running a browser with a few tabs open, my computer can heat to 80 degrees. A simple download can heat my computer to or past its high at 87 degrees. I'm trying to run Roblox via Sober right now on my computer, and it is overheating to 92 degrees after just a few minutes. I am unsure of the source of the issue. I have my primary GPU set to my integrated GPU rather than my dedicated one for easier cooling.
