This is reference information on how to solve CPU overheating problems in Android devices, which are common issues for budget-conscious gamers.

Proposal for Dynamic Thermal & Power Optimization: FPS-Linked CPU Ceiling Scaling
​Core Objective: To achieve 99.999% Stability (5-nines) in mobile gaming performance by eliminating thermal throttling through dynamic CPU load capping.
​The Concept: This implementation replaces "uncontrolled burst" performance with "precise frequency scaling" tied directly to FPS and Refresh Rate. By maintaining a 5-15% thermal headroom at all times, we ensure consistent frame rates and optimal temperature levels.
​Performance Scaling Matrix (Targeting 99.999% Stability):
​Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Scaling:
30 FPS (60Hz): 28.5241% CPU Load
60 FPS (60Hz): 45.2893% CPU Load
90 FPS (90Hz): 55.4128% CPU Load
120 FPS (120Hz): 68.8472% CPU Load
144 FPS (144Hz): 78.4156% CPU Load
165 FPS (165Hz): 89.5128% CPU Load
​Snapdragon 8 Elite Scaling:
30 FPS (60Hz): 24.1845% CPU Load
60 FPS (60Hz): 40.5672% CPU Load
90 FPS (90Hz): 51.2291% CPU Load
120 FPS (120Hz): 62.3381% CPU Load
144 FPS (144Hz): 72.9124% CPU Load
165 FPS (165Hz): 85.2947% CPU Load
​Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Scaling:
30 FPS (60Hz): 21.8736% CPU Load
60 FPS (60Hz): 36.7592% CPU Load
90 FPS (90Hz): 48.1147% CPU Load
120 FPS (120Hz): 58.4215% CPU Load
144 FPS (144Hz): 68.1894% CPU Load
165 FPS (165Hz): 81.3648% CPU Load
​Implementation Philosophy:
The values above serve as the reference standard for developers to achieve 99.999% Stability. By capping CPU utilization at these specific thresholds, we prevent thermal runaway, eliminate frame drops, and maintain a consistent surface temperature (38°C - 43°C) even in hot climates.
​Public Domain Announcement:
This logic is released into the public domain. It is a data-driven proposal intended for mobile software engineers and manufacturers to adopt as a new standard for sustained mobile performance.
Proposal for Sustainable Android Performance: FPS-Linked CPU Ceiling Optimization
​Objective:
This proposal addresses the common thermal challenges faced by current Android flagships. By implementing a dynamic ceiling on CPU load, we can bridge the gap between peak performance and thermal stability. Our goal is to provide a reliable, consistent gaming experience for users, potentially enhancing device longevity and user satisfaction.
​Critical Implementation Warning (Important):
The provided scaling values are architecture-specific. Please do not apply these percentages across different CPU models. Each Snapdragon series (8 Gen 3, 8 Elite, 8 Elite Gen 5) possesses unique power-efficiency curves. Using incorrect values will result in a failure to maintain the 99.999% (5-nines) Stability standard and may lead to performance inconsistency.
​Reference Scaling Matrix (For Engineers & Developers)This post is for troubleshooting Snapdragon CPUs.I might post them gradually as I think about it later.

ถ้าใครเห็นข้อความนี้ก็จงจำไว้ว่าผมคัดลอกภาษาเอาครับเพราะว่าบางครั้งมีปัญหาเรื่องการอ่านภาษาอังกฤษไม่ออกเพราะว่าเป็นคนไทยไม่ใช่ว่าคนไทยอ่านไม่ออกแต่ผมอ่ะไม่ค่อยฉลาดแต่ผมพอจะนึกอะไรออกได้เลยเอามาโพสต์🙏
