I did this to keep a Macbook Air from overheating:
If you are going to launch a demanding program, load up a less demanding program first and wait for a while. For exanple I wanted to play Rocket League but if I loaded it up straight temps went to the infinity and beyond. So first I loaded Hearts of Iron IV, started a new game and just scrolled around the map for a few minutes then I closed HoI4. Then I loaded up Rocket League and checked temps. It had created a difference. Well the difference it created was going from 100+ to 95-99 degrees celsius and I said “no this Mac can’t run the game”, end of story for me.
The reason I did this is because that Mac’s fan speed changed VERY slowly so I force it to ramp up while avoiding overheat.
