I see. I personally am a PC user and I have a habit of controlling the throttle manually (it's not necessary but easy and handy). I have been doing this for almost 20 years, using handy 3-rd party panel applets and system's (both Linux and Windows) built-in tools. So I'm surprised to learn MacBooks still don't allow manual throttle control. I usually prefer to keep my thermal regime below of what the vendors pre-define.
I don't mean controlling the fans. I mean voluntarily throttling down the frequency of the CPU (and telling it it should not up-throttle even when the load goes high) so the computer actually stays cold even without the fans.
