I did all this and my 4600U while running Borderlands 3 in Linux Mint just barely hits 70C according to Tctl. The Tdie reports just bellow 50C. Admittedly Borderlands 3 isn't the most demanding game to run on it, but that's about as bad as it'll get during gaming. I'll try video encoding next with Handbrake to see if I can get it hotter. I've done this dozens of times and you either lower the temp or you lower the fan noise, as some GPU's really like to maintain a hot temperature and will instead lower fan speed. Lower fan speed is nice but I'm aiming for lower temperature more so.
