    Just to add on to your comment: Hardware should not “shut down” due to software operations. Max fan speed and execution slow down, yes, but not a shut down, unless your computer has a function of shutting down when getting hot. Normal operation should just keep going.

      Emergency thermal shut-off is a very common function in various pieces of computer hardware. And if throttling doesn’t help it should indeed shut down, rather than cause damage.
