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

75c is not that bad at all, it's well below TJ Max for like 99% of modern chips. This is just another walk in the park for laptop users who are used to seeing like 100c when playing games, lol. I'd definitely prefer my game to not eat up my entire computer for playing a custom radio station, but it's not like it's going to cause nuclear meltdown.

It still feels bad knowing just switching to that radio channel is going to instantly make the CPU 10+ degrees warmer
