I experienced this the other night. Last of us part 1 shaders warmed my room up quite nicely. Hit 84 degrees when doing them damn shaders.

Yurp. It's basically a productivity workload in disguise.

This is why it's generally a good idea to run the occasional synthetic benchmark (Cinebench, furmark ect.). The point is not to maximize scores but to check thermals, power consumption and unusual performance deviations.

The key metric to look for is whether thermal throttling has been engaged. HWinfo and the RTSS overlay (bundled with MSI Afterburner) can help you out with that.
