App to turn off other apps and my laptop if it is overheating

[Grx]

Hi there!

 

Today I almost killed my laptop because I left it running a game wile on a bed with basically with no fan intake other than what it could manage to get through the mattress for about 10 minutes...

It was extremely hot and I was scared sh*tless.

Fortunately, the laptop still works, but I don't want it to stop working because I just forgot to close a program...

 

So I am looking for an app to close apps / the os based on a temperature curve. Does such an app exist?

Just an FYI, the laptop will auto shut down when it gets too hot to cause actual major damage, when the CPU hits 105C, before then it will throttle the speed down to try and keep temps under control

Shouldn't the computer turn off automatically if it overheats? Or at least turn down the clock speed?

I never heard of one, just close the programs if you are leaving yous laptop

Honestly a better bet is to not leave your laptop on your bed while you're playing a game.

I would rather it not come to that if at all possible, but It is a good thing to know... Thank you!

Cover your PC with a blanket and then think if it gives a shit or not.

 

But to question. I don't know any software or tool which would work with temps. But you can setup power savings so that it goes to hibernation after certain period.
