All these years playing GTAV and I only now learn that using the custom radio station cooks your CPU (hexbear.net)

Those maximum temps were reached when I just sat in my car with the radio tuned to Self Radio

Suggested to use 48 kHz 16-bit signed WAV files (normal format and bitrate of the in-game radio) instead of MP3 files to avoid this issue.

I actually tried to do that, both with this ffmpeg command


for /f "tokens=1 delims=." %a in ('dir /B *.mp3') do ffmpeg -i "%a.mp3" -acodec pcm_s16le -ar 48000  "%a.wav"

and exporting my audio files from audacity with these options

I still got these results

I'm just going to assume there could have been a way to do this in a way that doesn't melt your processor but that Rockstar couldn't be bothered to implement it
