The article suggested setting power caps to prevent fans from operating at full speed continuously. Reasonable limits might include reducing maximum draw to around 80-85% of rated power, depending on the CPU model and cooling system.

Your fans won't spin fully unless the temperatures soar—especially since idle conditions rarely reach that level. Even during gameplay, it depends heavily on cooling and surrounding environment.

Heating becomes a concern only when running Cinebench loops continuously or using Prime95 for testing. For everyday tasks with a reliable cooler, it shouldn’t be a problem. You might be able to reduce the voltage by about 0.05v without affecting performance, though results vary per chip. It’s best to experiment yourself to find the safe lower voltage range that keeps stability intact.
