    Wasn't really sure where to put this but if you run Epic game launcher on (some) AMD cpus it ramps up clocks, temps etc.

    I just checked it myself on my 3600x and it's legit. I've just been gaming so temps are warm but with epic OFF I'm around 37c idle and all clocks are sub 1ghz. Launch epic and my idling goes to around 47c and clocks are hovering around the 1.5ghz

    This probably matters most if you game on an AMD laptop and want to preserve battery but just FYI anyway.

    I've a Core i5 laptop and find the same thing happening, tbh.
