Back-info: I recently upgraded from the I5 4460 to a R5 3600 and with it I also bought the Thermalright AX120. I let the motherboard, MSI B450-a Pro Max, do the overclocking on the CPU with the OC Genie 4 cause I'm a newbie when it comes to overclocking CPUs. (I have experience overclocking GPUs) It's running at 4.2Ghz. Ok so, since I had this new cooler, I wanted to test if would be able to cool the cpu while running Prime95. And to be fair it did pretty good (65c at ~80w), until the cpu shot up to 137w. I had HWINFO sensors running, but I didn't check it cause as soon as I saw the temperature and the watts up in heaven I stopped Prime95, so I can't tell the voltage it reached. However I had MSI Afterburned up, and it's where I saw what had happened (I was checking the PC and the fans and only noticed what was going on when I looked at the screen). Here's the "relevant" graphs from MSI Afterburner: So, can someone explain what happened? What BIOS settings should I change to keep this from happening again, but stay with a good clock speeds. I'll provide more info if needed.

Hey guys! My CPU temps have always been pretty high which is something I've only recently discovered to be a problem. Under load my CPU reaches 95 C and thermal throttles. I've reapplied thermal paste, fiddled with my power plan adjusted for ryzen CPUs and normal balanced and my CPU still reaches 95 C during load. I suspect it's due to my case and my fans. My front fan is intake at 140mm, radiator fan (exhaust) is 120mm and I've got a rear exhaust at 120mm. My case is the pretty old N500. My GPU is undervolted and the temps are fine. I would hope that I don't have to change the case and that buying and mounting x3 120mm Arctic P12 Silents (result would be (x2) 120mm Intake front, (x1) 120mm back exhaust, (x1) 140 radiator exhaust). Pretty sure my Motherboard doesn't control more than 1-2 fans so I would have to buy a splitter. PC is clean from dust and the Windows is relatively freshly reinstalled. OS: Windows 10 Pro PC Case: N500 KKN2 CPU: Ryzen 7 3800XT (Not overclocked) CPU Cooler: AeroCool Core plus (There are definitely better, but shouldn't get to 95 C under load?) GPU: MSI RTX 3070 Ventus 2X OC Motherboard (Version): Prime B350M-K (5602) RAM: DDR4 2x8 Corsair (2666)

Hello guys! I just want to make sure that, a few things here are normal, or I'm doing something wrong hehehee I just got my 7900x3d... (with a Rog Strix B650e and Corsair h150i elite 360mm) I'm shocked idle 50c!! Cinebench max 79C (clocks in 4.7 and 5ghz) What the hell, was not expecting poor temp. It's also my first AMD. I think my paste is fine (spread all around the CPU, and using Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut) not sure if the pressure on the screws are correct.... need to tide until you can't do it anymore (using fingers)? Or need to tide MAX, with screw driver? (Until you can't turn more?) BIOS is the latest from Asus, and I did no changes in overclock or voltage. There is anything I need to do in the BIOS? PS: noticed that in stress test, the voltage is 0.9 or 1.09...... and in IDLE it is 1.2v. This is normal????

Hi, I am currently experiencing some high GPU temperatures in game, maximum temperature reaching around 88C and I would love to reduce that. I've recently applied fresh thermal paste to both the CPU and GPU to ensure the best possible outcome here. Currently, I'm running a 240 AIO intake on the front of the case and only a single 120mm exhaust fan at the rear. I invested in some Noctua case fans as you can see in the parts list below and before installing I would like to get your opinion on whether or not to switch the 240 AIO intake on the front, to a 240 exhaust on top. No doubt the 3 extra fans will help a lot, so they'll just go where the AIO isin't. Reason being, my CPU doesn't get challenged a lot in games and rarely goes above 65C, e.g. it has a lot of temperature headroom. Any quick tips before I undertake my endeavor, leave a comment below Note: I do have, and want, and need an overclock on my GPU to reach 144 FPS on Warzone 2, so this is why I'm exploring this option. Many thanks.

Hi there, i'd like to start off by saying this was my first time making a custom watercooling loop, but i would like to call myself a sufficient pc builder. Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB AORUS Ram: 4x G.skill trident DDR4 3200MHZ Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WIFI Pump: Corsair xd5 Cpu block: Corsair xc7 (Mounted with provided intel screws but with AM4 pressure springs, because the screws for AM4 would'nt grip the threads on my backplate.) Radiator: Corsair xr7 360 mm (Fans don't fit inside the case) So, what is the problem im having? Well, after thoroughly bleeding the loop of air and leak testing it. i Decided to finally boot into windows. And to my suprise the loop seemed very efficient, being at a speady temperature of 22 celsius. i Was very happy. Until i deciced to run a a cinebench test. I put ICUE on my secound screen and leaned back in my chair while the test ran, about a minute in the temperature started rising as expected, but as time went by i expected the temperature stop rising at around 30 celsius but it just kept going up. As the test came to a conclusion my cpu temp was at 33 celsius but scored 600 points higher than my previous record. I concluded that the temperature was not a problem and that i had successfully upgraded my pc. So i decided to show my parents what i had been working on for the weekend and why there was plastic dust particles all over my carpet. So i brought them into my room and showed them the loop and i explained how it worked. As i was going to show where i poured the water in, i unscrewed the reservoir inlet and pressure was released. Which scared me. After fully explaining where 1 months sallary went. I thought it was a good idea to see whether more pressure would build up if tried putting the cpu under load for a longer while. So i chose to play a cpu heavy game, and that obvously led me to cs go. I stated the game and lmost immediatly temperatures started rising, obvoiusly expected. So i entered a game with youtube and cpu temperatures on the other monitor. Feeling happy yet a little anxious as teammates screams at an ingame sign in warmup and my cpu temperature slowly rising above 34 celsius. 5 minutes later when the game had started i glance at the cpu temperature which now read 36 celsius which was the temperature my cpu steadily had during load with the corsair H150i elite capellix. I thought ''okay, so we did'nt get any added performace temperature wise, but i built the loop because i wanted the experience and looks so it's okay''. 5 minutes later i noticed something very diffrent, the room temperature that is usually getting warmer as cpu temp reaches 36 celsius. So i thought ''But we had reached 38 celsius, maybe the pull method on the radiator isn't efficient. Let's increase the fan rpm on those fans.'' which was when i realized that all the fans being controlled by my corsair commander core that i got from my previous cpu cooler wasnt doing much. the 3 140mm intake fans at the front at 650 rpm +- 50 rpm. and the33 120mm radiator fans was at 450 rpm +- 50 rpm. ''okay, intake fans are ok, but radiator fans as super low. hmm before i had them at 1000 rpm at idle, and the pump was at 2500 rpm, what is the pump at now? wait where is the pump? oh, i connected it to the motherboard because i did'nt have enough space for the fans, oh maybe the commander core controls fans depending on pump rpm, maybe thats why they tell you to use fan port 6 on the commander core in the instructions''. *Open corsair xd5 instructions. ''Oh. thats a diffrent commander core. Hmm i'll try to just put the pump in the commander core at fan slot 6 and then movew that case fan to sys_fan2''. And after i reconfiguered it and booted into windows and then waited for the startup sequence to be over, i entered ICUE to see if the pump is detected. At first glance im dissapointed as i see no pump. then i check the rpms and see that ''fan 6'' is at 2500 rpm and thats where confusion hit. ''why is the pump detected as a fan?, why is the idle temperature higher? and why is one radiator fan fluctuating with 50 rpm rapidly.(the middle one). Oh all the components are at a static rpm setting, those are supposed to react tp the load.'' So i started playing around with the ''quiet, balanced and extreme settings'', and it turns out that for all fans quiet and balanced does the same thing, for the 140 mm fans its 630 rpm, and for the 120 mm fans its 440-470 rpm (diffrent depending on what fan). And extreme is 730 rpm for for the 140 mm fans and the 120 mm fans its 1050 rpm. i tested diffrent combinations for pump, intake fans and radiator fans under load and on idle. Odd results on the tests: Idle: If the pump is on quiet and all fans are on quiet, temperature is steady, if fan speed is increased, temperature goes up and eventually becomes steady at an acceptable temperature. Low load(youtube, writing here): Fans on balanced and pump on quiet is perfectly stable and pc is quiet. Under load (CPU and GPU heavy games and big projects in Creo parametric and Fl studio) : No matter what setting the fan or the pump is at the temperature never becomes stable. If pump is at extreme and fans are at balanced temperature keeps going up reaching 43 celsius. If pump is at extreme/balanced/quiet and the fans are at extreme the temperature goes down until it reached 28 celsuis. But it takes 30 munites. Since i have many University projects due soon that requiers working in creo parametric, i decided to spend my last money on ordering the commander core shown in the instruction manuals, i.e the '' Corsair commander Pro''. Which is the only solution i can think of. IT should arrive in 3 days. And i will report the results from that when i get it installed. i would very much appreciate any help and notes, and of course if you were confused by my rambling be free to ask me to clarify.

I recently upgraded from a 1050 ti to a 1660 ti but the fan speeds under load is too loud. 1660ti is second hand. RPM goes up to 3000+ when playing demanding titles and the temperature keeps going up to 80+ degrees. There are no problems with core clocks and they are in par with what I've seen from sites. My PC: Ryzen 5 1400 SN550 500GB SSD Asus Dual OC 1660ti My case is Corsair SPEC-01 and the only case fan I have is the 1 that came with the case on the front. This GPU was my first second hand purchase and I don't like second hand shopping but this seemed like a good deal. Should I try to return the card? I opened the side of the case and stress tested the gpu but the rpm and temps are still the same. Do I need to buy more fans?

Just got a 5600 XT and the junction temps are 100 C after a few minutes of gaming. Should I be concerned? My fans also ramped up to 2700rpm...

Hello there! Im searching for simply answer. Whats the best position for my situation with CPU and CASE fans *(Vertical or Horizontal)*

Hi all I have some new hardware but in the nearly 20 years of PC building, I've never really known what are acceptable temperatures for the motherboard, chipset and MOS. I have collected some logs (AIDA64) for these sensors and maximum temperatures achieved with 0% system fans are as follows: Motherboard: 50 Chipset: 63 MOS: 54 What max temperatures should I be looking to target with my fan curves? FWIW, MSI mobo with 4 steps to each curve. 2 140mm Noctua fans on front, 1 120mm Noctua fan on rear setup configured ?traditionally (front pull, rear push) with Arctic CPU cooler exhausting out of top. PC combines as HTPC for video streaming so I like a profile on the quieter side when not gaming. In the UK, mild winter, 20 Celsius room.

Hello folks, I need some assistance in how to solve a temperature issue I'm having with my cpu. I recently just finished a build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ojun888/saved/#view=LyX9CJ. I don't know why but the cpu is running at 70ish celsius while just being idle and while I was downloading windows and drivers and what not it was over 90 celsius. I know that this is not normal so after some quick googling I was told that I should check the pump, make sure its working and of course make sure it is properly on the cpu. the pump is indeed working, and after some touching I can confirm that one of the pump things is hot and the other not hot. I also made sure to unscrew the cooler block re-apply thermal paste and then screw it back on making sure the screws were tight and it was on the cpu. Even still the cpu was running hot and I could not find any solutions past the ones I've listed above. Any ideas and input would be greatly appreciated I'm still a bit of a pc newbie and if you need pictures of stuff feel free to let me know and I will do my best to provide them.

Hi, I have experienced problems with my card for around 2-3 weeks and I don't know what can be the problem. My gpu is louder and hotter than before. The problems are that it gets hot very quickly and the fans get very louder also I have a problem with the software precision x1 For the software to work i need to open it every time I turn on my computer, I don't know but before I didn't need to. The things I did to my pc before having problems with my gpu are: Change my motherboard from asrock b560 steel legend to msi mag z590 and after 2 days changed it back to the asrock, also after that I downloaded the new drivers. My gpu is clean its not dust

CPU: Ryzen 5600 GPU: rx 6800 xt Mobo: B550 gigabyte aorus elite ax v2 Case: bequiet 500DX (3x140mm stock set up) Monitor Res: 1440p Hi. I recently made my first pc build. Assembled it 2 days ago, finished software stuff yesterday. All drivers are up to date etc. i have not overclocked anything. All is stock except one thing. I enabled the XMP profile so my rams are now at 3200 instead of 2x00. I think i am having an issue with my cpu temps and i dont understand why. I am using the stock cooler which came with thermal paste as well. I installed it on the ram tightely - it definitely makes contact. The fan is working correctly at max speed. The cable management is great. The pc Case is famous for its great airflow, even coming from stock fan set up. 3x140. one back exhaust one top exhaust one front-mid intake. Room temperature is at only 20C (winter). Zero dust (new build). So what's wrong? If with zero dust, new condition, new thermal paste, and in room temp 20C, my CPU reaches 95C just by playing fortnite (max settings) for 3 minutes, then what's gonna happen in a year from now or in summer with room temp over 35C? If it even survives till the summer... Besides the ram reaching the maximum temp, gpu also reaches current temp 80C and junction temp 90C (idk which one matters) in-game while being utilized 99%. While its not as bad as the cpu's 95C, it still seems to be very high. Multiple google sources saying temps should be under 80C and under 40c idle. So im a bit scared (mainly about my cpu) and i havnt really gamed at all. I cant understand what's wrong. Bad chip...? Should i start messing with overclocking undervolting etc etc ? to drop the temps around 10c lower? idk

Hello. I just upgraded my pc to a new motherboard (ASrock b660), cpu (15 13600k), ram (32gb) and cooling (nh u12a). When I god it up and running, and started to download the basics, I saw on HWmonitor that i was hitting temps of 60 degrees celsius. I tried running the free demo of 3dmark from steam, and when benchmarking the CPU, it got to 90 degrees celsius (it also hit 188W). I am now wondering if I should return my nh u12a and get an AIO. Do you have any recommendations for a good, but not too expensive (around 200 usd), AIO?

Hey there, Loading my new GPU at 100% pushes the temps to 79-80 degrees. Is this normal for this card? All reviews mention lower temperatures, but that's probably in open benches. thanks!

Specs: CPU: i9-12900KS MBD: ASUS Z690 D4 Cooler: DeepCool Castle 360EX GPU: 3070 Paste: Arctic MX-4 PSU: EVGA 1000W GQ Problem: On boot, to the BIOS, my 12900KS immediately hits up to 88C. I haven't even booted to Windows yet, or changed anything in the BIOS besides a little undervolting. So far I've: - Reapplied the thermal paste four times - Made sure my cooler is running; checked pump speed in BIOS and heard it humming (yes the plastic is removed) - RMA'd my MBD because I thought the temperature readout was wrong - Tried undervolting a little. I tried undervolting from the base voltage of 1.421V (CPU temp 88C) to 1.4V (CPU 91C), then to 1.38 (CPU 71C), then to 1.35V (CPU 88C). I don't understand why giving the CPU less power makes it run hotter, and don't know where to go from here. Is there a way I haven't tried to cool my CPU, or can I undervolt differently? Either way, I know 71C is way to hot at BIOS-type CPU loads. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Hellloooo all you very helpful people! So doing a case swap w my rig, no biggie, just putting in larger radiators to accommodate the bigger case, and more of them lol. Excessive but there’s reason as I was disconnecting fans from my “old” lian li O11 dynamic “full size” (lol) XL case, I been running cinebench R23 (32? I get em mixed up). Anyway, As I’m taking fans off I’m reading/comparing the MOBO LED output and the physical monitors Cpu package temps - forget what tool…. anywho, noticed that even with ALL the fans removed (were set to 100% constantly, intentionally), I went from ~37c to 62-68c MAX without the fans. Well within tolerance. how did I manage to run with no fans connected? Easy, I have a fab hub powered via sata that goes into my cpu header, left that alone, just pulled out fans BACK TO MY QUESTION W_in, uhm, where does that temp probe go? The “warmest” radiator, or the “coldest”? you can understand my confusion as the d5 pump has in and out, out shoots water, elsewhere, in, receives it. Duh. I have a thermaltake TT 71 view, dont troll me, I personally like it, that’s all that matters to me. currently under construction, but here’s my rad/WC layout RAD1 = 420mmx60mm RAD2 = 360mmx60mm RAD3 = 360mmx30mm(?) about half as wide RAD4 = 140mmx45mm exhaust by the IO panel CPU = motherboard monoblock, yes, covers all the VRMs, CPU and whatever else - EKWB, look it up, you’ll see what I mean GPU = gpu monoblock PUMP = 400ml, 1135L/hr at max, 4800rpm (Thermaltake Pacific PR32-D5 Plus, not that model is relevant…) pump->rad1->rad2->CPU->rad3->rad4->GPU->back to pump ^well aware the order don’t matter, it’s only setup this way so I don’t have a bunch of spaghetti noodle water lines everywhere So… is my W_in probe for the “hottest” or “coolest” water? Same with W_out, just opposite? id have to double check the manual but I believe there is a T_header for something…. Again I’d have to double check, but if it exists, where would that temp sensor go? In the middle-ish of the loop? sorry for the long post that prob had lots of irrelevant information. Just trying to put all this crap back together. As u can imagine w these huge rads everything’s a tight fit. That being said, I can’t install my 3rd GPU nor my PSU until I install all the headers on the bottom of my MOBO. Rather just plug those in and set them aside for use later which is prob what I’ll do just the temp sensors are somewhat in the same area, so I’d like to shove them in and do wire management before anything else thanks everybody!!

Hey there, I got a new Ryzen 9 7950x and I love it so far, except for the fact that I can not read it's temperature in Linux. I have tried lm-sensors, and even after trying to detect all the sensors, I couldn't find any that would tell me the CPU temp. I made sure to be on the latest version of lm-sensors, I am on Linux 6.0.2, I have the newest UEFI version as well as AMD μcode and still nothing. I thought it might be that the CPU is too new and that there is no support for it, but thats also not it, as one of my friends, with the exact same OS, kernel version, lm sensors version and exact same CPU, can see the temps. The only difference between our builds is that he has an Asus x670e motherboard and I have the Gigabyte Aorus Master x670e. Any tips on what else I could try?

My hardware: CPU: Intel Core i5-11400 Using The Stock Cooler (The New One With The Copper Slug)... Mobo: MSI B560M-A PRO; RAM: 32GB DDR4-2666MHz; When using Cinebench R23 I noticed I wasn't getting scores much higher than 7300-8100... So I decided to unlock the CPU's power limits... PL1 changed to 100W, and PL2 to 125W for a maximum of 128 seconds... Ran CineBench again... Now score went to 9755. However In CoreTemp I saw that actually, the CPU will very briefly peak at 130W or a bit more... and temperatures will occasionally spike at 93ºC. Just 7 degrees below the maximum 100ºC of Tjunction. Are these temperatures dangerous? Also I must note that the CPU didn't even think of thermal throttling during the CineBench test.

Hello everyone, I am new to pc gaming, and I have just successfully built my first gaming pc. I believe I cable managed fairly good and was able to put the computer together following Linus 1hr tutorial, but I might have a problem. I have -5600x -16gb ddr4 ( corsair vengeance ) -1tb ssd ( samsung 970 evo ) -3070 rog strix -mag b550 tomahawk max wifi - corsair icue h150i elite capellix - lain li o11 dynamic -6 corsair ql 120 rgb fans -Running a gigabyte 1440p, 32 inch curved monitor at 165Hz I have no clue what the accepted normal is for temperatures for the cpu and gpu,but I've heard the 5600x runs warm. On idle my cpu sits around 35-39C and during games it can go anywhere from 45-65C depending on the game, with a 3 fan aio and 6 case fans, idk if this is normal or a little warm. My gpu sits around 36C idle and during most games, at 60C. I'm not sure if Fortnite is a heavy load on a gaming pc, but last night my cpu temps were about 55-65C which I think is normal? However, I was only getting about 120fps during a game on high settings even though I had no fps cap on and was playing at 1440p. I was told that the 3070 should easily be hitting 200s for fps on a title like Fortnite, but idk if that's with it over clocked, I also get high 100s to low 200s on phasmophobia on high settings, I'm not sure if that's abnormal because to me it doesn't seem like the hardest game for a graphics card to run. I'm going to be honest I don't know a lot about overclocking or have a massive knowledge of what's normal when it comes to how a computer is supposed to behave. Also at idle my gpu clock sits at exactly 1905MHz, idk if that is normal? I ran heaven benchmark 4.0 last night just to see what score I received, I got a score of 2900 on extreme setting, 1440p, with the lowest fps being 50 and highest being 250, are these normal readings for a 3070 that's not overclocked or is something bottle necking it? I also ran a test using Cinebench for my cpu and it ran fine, the test was for 10 mintues and the temperature never went above 55C. I downloaded all appropriate drivers for the motherboard and bios and installed windows 11 64bit fine. According to Geforce experience my graphics card is up to date running the latest driver. - I am slightly concerned for the gpu as I did get a deal on it for it being a open box at micro center, but it seems to be working absolutely fine and when I opened the opened box, it was still sealed in the anti-static bag, so I don't think it was broken I hope someone can shed some of their knowledge and help me out, Thank you.

I recently just bought the MSI Summit E13 Flip Evo off amazon for $1100 instead of $1600. I got it two days ago, but I notice that it actually gets pretty hot quickly. even doing simple tasks like browsing the web with some programs like discord and zoom open, it gets decently toasty. I was wondering if this is normal in powerful 2 in 1 laptops (i7 11th gen). I also played a game of league of legends on medium to low settings, although it ran well, it got super hot, even with the fan on max, blasting super loud. Should I just return it and get a different, more cooling efficient laptop? I kind of feel a little disappointed because i researched a lot about this laptop, but i don't want to return it.

Not entirely a troubleshoot post as I'm not experiencing any immediate issues, but I'm not sure what the ideal temperatures for my setup are supposed to be.

The Idle temperature for my RTX3080 is 55C, and I don't think that is normal... For example if I play Microsoft Flight Simulator Max Graphics it goes up to 81C. Can someone tell me what is wrong with my gpu or is that normal?

Hi all, this is my first post here, I hope anyone can help I recently upgraded from a 3800 to a 5800X. I'm running a H150i Pro on top of that (it's ~2 years old). The CPU runs at ~45C when idled. Under a small workload, it tends to spike at 60~70C, but I've read that's common with Ryzen, so I'm not too worried about that. My concern is that under heavy workload, the CPU sits at a very stable 90C, which tells me that the CPU is throttling to keep itself there, as it's the max temperature recommended by AMD. I can also see the cores voltages and clock going up and down during stress test (not by much, but still). If I'm gaming, with the CPU being used at 30%, it easily gets to 70C and stays there. Surely that's too hot for a moderate workload with such a beefy cooler? Having the 9 fans in my case ramped up to the max or the bare minimum does not change anything. But I don't think it's an airflow issue, as my coolant temp stabilises at ~50C under CPU+GPU stress test, and the CPU still hits 90C when my coolant is 35C anyway. And my RTX 3090 stays at reasonable temperatures. I was dead sure that there was an issue with the thermal paste (I didn't personally installed this CPU), but re-applying thermal paste and reseating the CPU block did not change anything. Anyone has any idea why my CPU temperatures are so high?

Hello. For a long time now (I believe, since I built my PC a year or so ago), I've been getting high temperatures just by interacting with the UI on YouTube's webpage. My PC has had good thermals everywhere else that I've seen, and since I always have a temp sensor runnimg, I can check constantly and would notice if I had issues anywhere else. (See below playlist for footage of other scenarios and their temperatures) This is a problem to me because I'll be watching a YouTube video and not moving the cursor or pressing any keys, and my temps will be not much higher than idle, (Low 30-35 degrees celcius) But as soon as I interact with YouTube's UI, especially the video player, my temps will spike. These spikes vary a decent amount going as high as 75 degrees celcius, but are usually around 60-65 degrees. So when I just want to adjust the volume or skip ahead, it'll spike and my fans will ramp up until I stop. This has been very annoying, and makes me not want to use YouTube at all on my computer, and instead opt to just watch them on my phone. Interestingly, It seems that this does not happen when watching an imbedded youtube video in Discord. This is the only embedded player I've tested it with though. I've recorded the issue along with recordings of other scenarios to compare temperatures with - Link to playlist HERE - Only the first video is important, and maybe the two after that. The rest are supplementary. I've tested mixes of other webpages (with and without video players), settings, entire browsers, and extensions, but it's always the same as far as I can tell. When I tested with a different browser, I tested it with default settings and configuration, so no extensions. Although uBlock, which I use on my main browser, actually improves the spikes. I even tried Opera's "Gaming Browser" thing which allows you to set a CPU/RAM limiter. I set the stricted limit I could, and while it lagged due to that limit, it still spikes my temperatures. You can find a link to my PC specs here: PCPartPicker For what is not on there, I'm on windows 10 64-bit, version 21H1 build 19043.1706. My browser was Chrome, but recently I switched to Brave. (As mentioned above, I've tried every browser I could think of- it happens on all of them). Extensions I use are uBlock and a popup blocker. Since the issue still happens with no extensions however, these should not be the issue. Also, I have no antivirus except Windows Defender. Thank you for anyone who takes the time to try to help me out with this. I'm pretty out of ideas and this issue has been annoying me for a long time. I've made a genuine effort to make this post as helpful to anyone reading it as I can, though I'm not happy with how much of a wall-of-text it is. I hope it is alright. TL;DR Summary: Issue - YouTube's web UI causes high temperatures while interacting with it. (Doesnt happen with embedded YouTube in discord?) What I've tried - Different browsers, extensions, settings. (Even OperaGX's CPU/RAM limiter) No other thermal issues in any other use-case with my PC. Somehow it's just YouTube.
