I'm a fan of Formula 1 and watch practices and qualifying via the F1TV Pro app on my laptop (races I always watch on my TV).
My T480 (i5-8350U, iGPU but with dGPU fan [Delta 01YR200] and PTM7950, 32GB RAM) usually runs around 35-40 C while browsing the web and doing standard stuff.
But when I switch on the streaming app F1TV Pro, temps jump up to around 60 C.
The fan is occasionally on with a quick blast, but I can hardly hear that.
I find that warm, but not hot.
Anybody else have streaming experience and at what temps?

FYI: when cold booting, temps immediately run up to ~50 C, but as soon as W10 has 'settled in' (after about 30 seconds), temps come down to 35-40 C.

60C is a non-issue.
If it goes to 80C that might be a cause for concern.

I use an ootb X301 for surfing which, what a surprise;), already has serious issues to display YT videos at higher resolutions than 360p in fullscreen mode.
It got a lil better with the h264ify add on added to firefox, now even 720p FS works, unless its at 60fps.

Ofc the source has to support the format.
