In Windows, disable wasteful services and remove quickstart/update checkers. Similar in Linux, but also follow suggestions like raising the NOFILE limit.
Here's one that isn't obvious: set your CPU to stop scaling and set a fixed speed (below max.) It depends on what you play, but it has a huge effect on sudden demand and if you find the right balance can make things overall cooler and quieter.

You have to set the frequency below the high point of the voltage curve. Not easy to find. When you do, your system should be able to go all out 100% and still stay below maximum temperature which has the side effect of making normal gaming actually run cooler and more responsive too. If you set it too high it could overheat (though generally takes Prime95 to do it.) That means less than max boost. For example, my 5600X runs 4.4GHz at only 1.1625V
