# This script runs in the background and checks the temp of my 3060 and 3090 cards.
# The concept is to cut voltage when approaching a thermal limit. This "smoothes out"
# the usage compared to native thermal throttling. This is useful for long sessions
# of Stable Diffusion or heavy chat models. You may need to tune for your own setup,
# temperature preferences, and so on. This is provided with ZERO WARRANTY, so your
# mileage may vary. In general, you should not do magic you do not understand.
